Is your mate polish?
sweeney kincaid and morris leslie have some in their plant auctions this month.
you should have bough over the winter when prices were cheap. we're paying 140 a week to jarvie,which is probably better than buying one,as we could be back to doom and gloom after the summers over.

He's not polish. I can get them myself for £100 a week as it's sort of long term deal i have with a mate ,but he wants to buy his own then sell it after he's done so he shouldn't lose no more than a grand at worst.

Second hand diggers gone silly, we buy of a local big plant hired at 2 year and about 1000 hours, been waiting for them to release 1.5 and 8 ton kubotas to harmanise our fleet but they've said the price has gone silly on buying new hence the second hand Market has as well.
If not that bundle of cash and your local community that move around alot but you run the high risk of it being stolen, if not stolen to order...

Been driving a brand new 8 tonne Kubota recently that a mate has just bought £62000 + VAT. Amazing machine but they dont seem that much bigger to drive or look at than the 5 tonne kubotas?
