[Oscar]

As I mentioned above , it's on my shopping list to get something like yours @Phil P . I Know its maybe rude to ask but what sort of money did you have to pay ? Thanks.
PM if you rather not make public

I'm guessing £27k?

Your a sales man right ?

Some seem to think £27k would be about right:

Think I got a pretty good deal considering I got the 3 buckets and delivery, was under 27k?. It is one of the machines on the second link @Steevo has posted if that narrows it down?

I was just surprised a sales man put his head on the block like that ?

The stickers seem to match this one. Looks a good deal.

I rang about that one but it had sold the day before?, would have been a very good price that but probably only one bucket.

My mates just got a crushing bucket for his, it’s a proper bit of kit! Think it cost nearly half what I’ve paid the digger though ?

Tilting rotator is the ultimate addition , I’m going to get one for mine .

Yes them engcon’s are some piece of engineering, would be a bit overkill for what I need though.
Depending on what happens in the next couple of weeks the only thing I’ll be spending is a bigger grain store!

Useful tool but an awful price by the time you get geared up for it.

Other makes are available, be over kill for me and my machine but it will last me many a year .

Will you hire it out Phil when you aren’t using it?

Not if I can help it but never say never, I’d be more inclined to do it as digger and driver however, I don’t claim to be an expert operator!

Reason I ask is most small farmers I meet are all looking for a 13 hitachi for about 10k and can’t find one! So could be good income! You will soon learn, it’s practise practise practise on a digger
