How about this one? It’s a manual with power shuttle, servo controls, air seat, soft ride, 40k box, extendahoe and a Geith hydraulic hitch with four buckets. 56 plate, 6400 hours. Apparently the stickers will come off easy enough. Got breaker if I want it for £2k extra

Cheap enough.

I really like the LB 110's got a gearstick in the cab and dig well enough but are lighter and more manoverable than the 3cx

I thought it was the other way around, the JCB was lighter? It's got independant brakes though.

Specs I can find for this say 8.36t

Mate of mine always says the Ford/New Holland are lighter than 3CX.

I've heard same. Chap around here used to run a ford back in the day and reckoned it was the best backhoe for getting around on peaty ground around here

The pool saga continues...

Pool being repaired

Pool for sale! Can deliver locally but UK might be a stretch..

Starting to fill the pool hole after replacing the conveyor head roller bearings

After 30 tonnes of sand

Nearly there...

Finally, after 35 tonnes of wet sand and a lot of spreading by hand to the perimeter of the hole it's full. Sweaty work when it's humid & 30°C.
Half the pool will be concreted over, thats what the pier pipes are for to support the slab. Not my job, another contractor will do that and lay down new tiles over all the hard surface. The other half of the pool will be a garden bed. I'll be putting a couple of tonnes of topsoil in with the tractor loader and conveyor after the concrete is poured.

Digging up garden on house we finished 6 or so years ago today to add new soakaways around a existing harvester tank. They had issues few years ago when we had the flash floods and this was the decided solution. Always enjoy being on the little bobcats as good as it can get as micros go hire companys obviously fed up with people twating the rams good bit of protection on. Haven’t had the kubota dumpers onsite before always thought the tower for the high tip would be a pain in the arse but actually no bother. They are on the wider side though.

There was one localish for £8k the other day. Just doesn’t look to be any better than a Multione paired with a 3 tonner.
