Hello from Malta – first timer with Kobelco

Hi, Wanted to introduce myself. Been wanting to have an excavator for years and I have now just pulled the trigger on a 2018 Kobelco sk28sr-6. This is for my personal use only so yes it's a decision I made with my heart and not my head but am ok with that Actually I don't have the machine yet as it will be delivered to me in 2 days' time. I have _NEVER_ even been into an excavator much less operated one so YouTube is my new friend I already have a question re operation of a mini excavator but will post it on the compact forum. Anyway - Hi All! Photo of the actual machine below.
