i want one :) how much a day does he charge, pm me if you want. nice bits of kit.

do you mean he has a bucket for it and he's going to bring in the type 1 or hes got a separate loading shovel?

is he the same guy with the takeuchi minis who does your footings?

ive done a few jobs for other builders with our little tele handler moving all the bricks and blocks into a job £200 saves a lot of manual labour :)

The Avant is something I have in mind for use around our farm for cutting around the banks.
Here is a link to the main site you will see they have 7 pages of attachments you name it they seem to have an attachment for it.
http://avant.co.uk/product/500-series-articulated-loader/

If you have a job that you could use one on then have a look for you local agent, ours down here in Kent has a hire fleet as well.

As in left-over tarmac? No not really, can't afford to waste it at £100/tonne!

Any we do have left-over either goes into our yard, slapped down with the digger or into other 'open' jobs that we have on the go as regulating or basecourse material
