Looking at replacing my bomford 458 with a kestrel e . Has anyone had one of these or experience? They well built etc ? Cheers Matt

No idea if a kestrel e is any good, but I might be interested in your 458 if you do change !.

Hi we have a 1999 Bomford B508 which i believe is an early version of the Kestrel, ours is a very basic machine with a single pump which powers the flails and the tractor powers the arms which works very well, it has manual slew which is better than nothing it is a good basic 5m reach machine but power slew would be nice !!

Ok cheers Kevin. Only want a basic machine. Do a few hedges around here that's all really. Seems like they the new version of my 458. Just a little more reach
