Second hand steel framed sheds are worth nothing. Especially if they aren't dismantled.
I know a farming family that have bought or been donated loads of second hand sheds and they rarely manage to get the down with needing some kind of repair. And by the time transport and labour is taken into account I doubt they are ever winning. As it takes longer to reassemble than new components.

Same as these with pre fab garages and 'the buyer to dismantle' sales....never happens and you usually end up flat packing them with a digger and sending them away in the grab/skip.

I have absolutely no idea what you would use this for, but I kind of want one.

BWW used to have a similar three wheeler Powerfab ... but with a long dipper, rather than extending ... tried using it from the tow path for a while but used to end up in the water too often so got stuck on a barge, supposedly purpose designed for it. We ended up with it in our yard for 18 months whilst they tried to decide how they wanted it modified, as the 'purpose design' wasn't fit for purpose ... eventually got shipped out, without touching it, up country.
some where I have paper pix of it
the three wheeler was a nightmare on my solid yard .... God knows what it must've been like on the tow path

I may be wrong but I was of the understanding "agricultural" buildings are exempt from just about any rules.
They are more relaxed but not exempt, I think most agricultural buildings are execution class 1 . General purpose buildings are execution class 2. Public buildings are execution class 3. The top is execution class 4 for power stations or nuclear stations.

It's a walk behind cemetery excavator.

Our local grave digger uses a 2.5 Taki, when he can get it in .... can think of plenty of grave yards round here that you could never get that thing into without it falling over or just too tight.
obviously good money in digging the right sort of hole :rolleyes::giggle:

once took a pair down with a mate one Sunday in Caerdiff ... sectional conc. and posts ... was a long day ... created a 4+ car garage/workshop out of it all with a bit of Druid ingenuity and some extra steel for the roof.
dug the footings for his slab retaining walls with my little Manor walker .. him and two other mates on barrows, couldn't keep up and weren't taking it far .. on their knees by lunchtime :LOL:
pass by it regularly on the Hereford road .. still looks good 25+ years on ... probably have some paper pix of it somewhere, going together .
I doo remember it absolutely lashed it down, the day I created the mono pitch roof trusses for it on the back of my Iveco flat bed, on site and had plenty of 'belts' off my big diesel welder in the process!!
