Hello, There is a B2910 available locally that I am considering looking at. The B2910 has a 4 cylinder Diesel engine. Model V 1505-E-D16. I sat on an idling B3200 a few months ago and couldn't feel my fingers after 10 minutes the vibrations were so bad. The B3200 is also a 4 cylinder diesel. Model V 1505-E3-D24. I Don't see any reference to their being vibration issues associated with the B2910. Any thoughts? Thank you all and Merry Christmas.

Did you increase from idle at all?
Even on my BX - the idle is fine but give a little fuel and it seems to purr
You might want to have the motor mounts looked at - it should not shake your hands like that

Yes I increased the engine speed. I did not check the mounts. This is not a rare occurrence if you search the net. It was not a purr but a pronounced buzz. It had about 500 hour on it as I recall. If I can avoid known issues to begin with it would be helpful. Thanks
I haven't noticed any more vibration than expected. I have only put about 40 hours on this one myself but if it was objectionable I would have noticed by now. I have heard about vibration after I already had it. I guess some do and some don't. Kinda like picking out a guitar.
B2910 is a highly regarded little machine with a good track history. If it's a good deal, good shape and meets your needs grab it. Same with B7800 IMO.

I may look at it. It appears well taken care of with 1,000 hours .Comes with MMM and loader. Asking $10,800. Pittsburgh Craigslist.
I also have never had vibration issues with my B2910 at any RPM. Now have about 1900 hours on it since purchased new is 2002.
Now my 3 cylinder BX2200 is a different story!
