First of the New Kobelco SK135SR-3s Arrives

The first new Kobelco SK135SR-3 midi excavator sold in Australia is delivering an unheard of level of fuel economy, according to its owner, Jason French.

Jason and his father Danny run an excavation business in Tasmania, with work ranging from civil and domestic landscaping through to farming and irrigation.

Just a few weeks after taking delivery of the SK135SR-3, Jason can hardly believe how light on fuel his new machine has been.

“Since we’ve had this machine we’ve been using less than seven litres of fuel per hour on average,” he says. “That’s just amazing.”

But the fuel economy has not come at the expense of comfort or functionality.
