Looking for a digger to leave at a block of land to sort out ditches and tracks etc. Doesn’t need to be pretty, but mechanically cared for. Would like to spend no more than £5k so I am aware of the kind of machine I should expect. Thanks

You might be lucky enough to buy a digger for 5k. But you would probably need to spend another 5k fairly soon after.

In fairness, since my first post the research I’ve done has highlighted exactly that. I tried editing the budget but could not find the edit button. Would be happy to spend around the £10k mark but would ideally like to find a machine on here away from ‘trade in’ machines.

Our 1988 Liebherr 900 is no longer needed. She's mechanically sound (passes an insurance inspection every year), very economical and starts on the button. She's an ex-EA river dredger with a long arm and 2 buckets. Any good?
