Not sure what a feed bunker is ?
I was wondering if you particularly needed something that would lift that high or needed to lift that much weight that most telehandlers will ?
perhaps something more compact or more versatile if you don't need big height or weight, I always liked the 4 wheel steer centre boom Kramer's a mate had two and they are very nimble and good visibility or maybe something like a MF50H loader would be well below your price limit and run rings round a lot of tele's as far as cycle times are concerned or maybe a tractor and loader if you want to do other things
We have a MF 30e here and its a Rottweiler in Jack Russel form. Quick, manouvrable, low roof height and does not say no ever.

If i were you id go JCB theres loads of choice about for them . They will be easier to buy attachments to fit without having to weld new brackets on . More people will be able to repair them and most parts usually available.

I had a 50H 2wd with a big fixed weight on the back that was fast as feck in cycle times and pickup 2 ton, then had a 50E 4wd that thing was just ignorant what I use to do with it, he would lift nearer 2.5 ton if you could keep the arse down
 
Doubtful. Unless you can find a one owner old Matbro/ JCB/ Sanderson off an arable farm.
Anything post year 2000 that's had 2/3 owners offered for less than £10k, I would avoid.
Why are you being so snobby about only newer machines and previous arable owners?
Plenty of machines around easily in budget. The overwhelming evidence from posters on here shows what the OP wants for his budget it easily do-able.
I have a 97 Manitou 928 that is shared between my farm and construction work that has never allied a thing in my 18 years of ownership, every panel is straight, hours are not high, and would be under the enquired budget if I sold.

I have a 2002 Manitou 629. I paid £14k for it IIRC. It is a humoungous pile of sh!t compared to the 1985 Sanderson I also own. I'd either go very old, or brand new. Just my experience. Others can do as they please.

Loved my old sanderson 623 solo. Was quick, well built, had really good field of vision, very nimble. Sold it on eBay for £3000 as it really needed an engine rebuild. A refurb engine would’ve been less than £4000 fitted and it probably would’ve gone on for another 10,000 hrs. Well worth looking out for. Only got rid as really wanted more reach for building stuff, the NH TM1333 that replaced it is a beast but completely numb around the yard and I keep driving into things with the stabiliser legs! Luckily got the little schaffer too at the other end of the scale but great for putting bales in, filling feed hoppers and scraping poop up.
