    Cf Moto

    got a mate who's on his 2nd 450, changed at 2 yr old with 8500 miles on for £2300. My 700 grizzly with 5000 miles was 2 in October and dealer wanted £5200. Worth a damn close look in my opinion??

    Small pickup

    That is the problem, fuel cost. Also new pickups are getting beyond a lot o folks now, myself included. Bought an ex demo Hilux invinceable just over 3yrs ago for 22800, quite sure I'd get what I paid for it now with 22000 miles. Same pickup now I'm guessing I'd be looking at another 10000...

    Small pickup

    Quite possibly, but dont see the point in folk (not aimed at you) complaining about fuel consumption/ cost to fill it. End o the day it's a working motor there to do a job

    Small pickup

    But surely you expect something thats sitting at just over 2 ton empty and capable o towing 3.5 ton is never going to be frugal on fuel. Or is that just me?

    New hilux-any problems?

    Mine is exactly the same, very seldom does it when convenient 🤬 I usually sit and rev it about 2500 revs til it's done then give it a minute or two to cool down before stopping it.

    Are Contractors rates having to go up.

    You must be on some bloody good smooth ground and only shot grass to be doing 6-7 acres an hour, I do a wee bit on rougher ground with some heavy rushes and to do about 11 acres takes 7.5 hours and I'm charging it at £25 p/hr.
