New service wagon. Wanted a van, but they are crazy money and mostly scrap at my price range. Delighted with it, years test and £1500. Has the old style 1.9 engine.

it’s not an estate. It’s a sports tourer.

Skidsteers are fantabulous things! I bought a small old one last year and use it far far more than I imagined I would!
They definitely are! Couldn't resist having a play about with it after it came and was well impressed how little room it needed to turn around and work in.

Couldn't justify the £30k+ price tag a new one was but can see us using this for a lot more different jobs in the winter than I imagined.

Many years ago I used to help muck out broiler the sheds the equipment used was thirty fives and three and a half tonne trailers with grain sides and shovels, then one day they got a bobcat skid steer in what a revelation if you can imagine loading chicken sh!t into a trailer with a shovel the stench and the ammonia and the dust then just to have to sit there at the door and have it brought to you that was progress fifty years ago

I used to go to that egg farm at Hough spreading and got loaded by a old chap with a cab less jcb with no back actor on it . Poor bloke used to get covered in the horrible stuff as he loaded straight from under the birds.Horrid stuff that bird dung not nice after a night in the Yeoman .The chap i worked for at the time wrapped bales with the bobcat skid steer with the wrapper mounted on it .It seemed to work well :)

A lot different to a pair of V12’s

The v12s were very comfortable but 1st pair were replaced on warranty and soles coming apart on the replacements. Do think I’ve had them a couple of years. So not too bad.

Ive had some other stuff from ES which I rate so I thought I’d give these a go.
