Hi mate what sort of work do you have in mind for it?

As for what 30k will get you... £30 per hour for a well used 13t drinking sixty litres a day or £30 an hour (and probably more) for a brand new 2 or 2.7t machine with plenty of attachments using just twenty litres of diesel and no lorry costs. Daft ain’t it.

For what it’s worth I’ve a kobelco sk135 which stands me at half your budget, it’s a bloody good machine to be fair, needs a few bits tidying but will put a hard shift in no bother.

I’m on £45 an hour, needs to go up really, but there’s too many others turning up for medals.

what sort of work have you got for one?

John has a good selection if machines of all sizes and attachments already I'm guessing he's just looking a bit of extra grut.

I'd say a JS130 or JZ140 would fall within that budget.. not bad machines ether

That’s the long and short of it. I’m after a 13tonner myself (well 10 would be ideal) but it won’t make me anymore money than the little diggers. However it is a machine that will stay on site for a few weeks at a time and once it’s there I like just turning up in just the truck everyday- no trailers, loading unloading etc. And reckon as I put the 5 tonner through hell some times the wear and tear it will save might balance costs a bit.
