Ford Backhoe

[Mur Huwcun]

Hi

Looking for a Ford backhoe for a building project. 550, 555, 655 etc. A 655C would be ideal but will struggle to be within budget. Around the £5k, vat not a problem.

North Wales area would be icing on the cake!!!

Looking for a Ford due to experience with them plus a range of buckets already here

Yes, I've seen that one. Is it yours or do you know it?

No not mine ,,just snooped through ebay and that one came up

Would most probably do the job fine but in no hurry so looking around. Missed a 655c only up the road few weeks ago. Sold within first hours of being on ebay!!! Was untidy but would of been an ideal prject!!!

In the past yes!!! Had a nice LB110, battery was flat, no one interested in getting jump leads for a test run, it would be delivered running if we wanted it!!!
