  • The CT12BU EU manual instead identifies 1,830 mm as maximum digging depth and 3,062 mm as maximum digging height; the product page labels 1,830 “max digging height” and gives 3,542 reach vs 3,494 mm manual ground radius. The factory CT12BU page also repeats CT12 prose 670–870 mm while its table and the EU manual list 850/1,100 mm scalable chassis width. Verify measurement definition, variant and serial.

Confirm the machine plate, market, build year and fitted engine before using a parts or service reference.
