is there an up take in the sales again their factory here has little or no stock all year it dropped last year when they closed for summer brake and they never came up again ,

Dont know. Prices here have dropped on new ones as pound stronger so they will be a fair bit cheaper than jcb now I expect?

Theres no money in over stocking on machines anyway so does not mean they aren't selling as many maybe just that they are running lower stock levels.

On thoses prices my Manitou 735 top spec is being hired out far to cheap at £325 plus vat per week! it is a 6 week plus hire though:)

And last year only managed to clock up 63 hours in 6 1/2 weeks, only pushing up and loading grain so very easy work:)

Was it broken down?:)

Didn't you know anyone to mend it?

:oops: sorry, lets make it more clear!

hired it to same bloke last year for 6 1/2 weeks and they did 63 hours in it during this time. Oh and yes it did break down last year!!!!:facepalm: split a steel pipe so I cut 8 inches out of it and joined a new piece in with compression fittings to get going quick (was a good repair so its still like it now)
and a drive shaft seal decided to leak too so fixed that one morning while they were waiting for crop to dry up:)
Also came back with a intermitant fault on aux hydraulics which was a solenoid which cost £652 plus vat for a new solenoid:poop: just one of them things it happens!

Good machine now though got to be sold when it comes back in off hire(y) its in the classifieds on TFF.
