Is the backhoe loader a thing of the past?

Well. He’s managed to sell it to someone now, so I’ve managed to dodge this one. Cash flow just won’t allow it this year, but it’s started an itch that will need scratching at some point!

don't think it's dear at that - 1 owner, low hours, very straight BTLs
I spoke to him today . Couldn’t understand him as his welsh English very different to my Devon English.
If it wasn’t a days drive away I’d be all over it. Probably cost me a £1000 in haulage. It’s not far away, just got the Bristol Channel in the way 🤣

drive it home :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
what you need is a mate with a landing craft .. trek it to Laugharne and away you go
TBH I don't think you'd lose anything on that in 5 years .. plenty of grease all over it - cab could do with a clean - -- inner extendahoe what is not to like :giggle::giggle:

'bout 90 miles from me .. could prob.s get that to me for 300-320 notes ... Plymouth's 160 from me so you must be about the same 90-100 miles from here .. give me a post code and could ask my local bloke for a cost ;) .. he moved my jake for me and been pricing a few FLT collections lately, which is how I have a handle on his current charges :giggle:

I’m EX215EA. I’ve just bought another little FLT myself and also put shed deposit down so I’m trying hard to be sensible with pennies.

Bob Davies would have that down to Devon for that sort of money I'm sure! @Stroppymonkey if it's a good buy you'll soon forget about the day to go and look at it and haulage.

Plus being Case M &M should be good for parts etc... I doubt you'll find much tidier than that tbh for the money- looks genuine. Was playing around on a JCB 1cx the other day, being on sticks wouldn't put me off massively tbh- just another skill set to learn!
