Sold the Backhoe yet?

Not yet

Blow me- I'll have that!

Yeah the lack of offset is a real swine on that Yanmar. Shame they had to do it that way as would almost certainly be a contender for me.

Well which is it then?

You have just experienced a snapshot of how my mind works.

When I bought my Kubota 2 years ago for 32k local Yanmar dealer quoted me 26 with 3 buckets and manual hitch,seemed very keen.

If it was £5000 and next door I’d take a look

like Jordy says, at the asking I'd bet it'll be around a while ... and it's in Paddy-land

Didn't engcon bring back the "cheap" version with bucket package again for sub 10k?

Ready for cheeky bids yet

Nothing too cheeky. I’ve been bid 15k twice from two dealers so I’m in the right ballpark for a self builder or budget owner op when one comes along.

how much is it up for?

how much is it up for?

18k no vat

15K and next door I would be getting all excited. Shame @doobin doesn't want a nice 2000l transcube or a 57cfm compressor to sweeten the deal And its in the far east, long drive home at 40kph!
