Takeuchi's TB335R compact excavator highlights user comfortability with a reduced tail swing machine 

Yes,agreed. My tb 235 is 18+ inches. The 4" on the 335 would be nice for my line of work, which is cemetery work.

2:00 minute, overhang isn't 8 inches on a comparable TB240. It's more like 18 inch overhang. And this machine is 3.5 inch overhang.
