Can get a basic new Case backhoe for £35k apparently! Seems a lot of machine for the money.

If that is genuine that is unbelivably cheap for the amount of work a backhoe loader can do. I wish I could do my jobs with one.

Just read it. Seems he is selling them about 15% cheaper than the equivalent JCB. Nowhere near enough discount in my opinion given the lack of dealer network and backup, combined with the less than glowing review. I would guess resale values will be near scrap as well.

Price is probably right, but that Case is an indian built machine which would be the reason for it........

I could be wrong but dont think those case wheel diggers can be used in the uk no ce plating, no check valves etc??

I thinks withams had some a while back, and stated export only.
