Let me just point out how this will pan out.... He will enquire, egged on by you lot and will probably go and look followed by:

Option 1. He looks, decides it's not the right thing, will procrastinate for 8 weeks before relenting and ringing with cash in his had only to find out it sold a day prior at a 5k discount.

Option 2. He looks, decides he needs it. Takes it home, does one job and blows a pipe, spends two weeks moping that he's worried it'll break down and cost him a million pounds to fix (despite the fact that only a few years ago he ran the squeakiest Kubota and a 125 with a knacked final drive) and that he must move it on. Because he will be impoverished otherwise and his wife will beat him with a sock full of the roof tiles that have fallen off the house this winter because he's still not fixed the roof.

I’m not sure when exactly it twisted tbh - I was dragging and stacking a load of trees for chipping (which is all the Bobcat ever did, as do my other Takeuchi diggers and none of those have bent!).
A new dipper was in stock at Takeuchi (£1700 delivered next day including vat which I actually thought was pretty reasonable) - I really like the dealer and I do believe they’ve tried hard to get Takeuchi to honour it as a warranty claim but it’s been refused. They said it has a non-approved attachment and was possibly overloaded. (Bizarrely they stick tiltys on them on display at shows but it seems they nullify warranty if used?!).
You rough arse!!!

Also the state of your tow bar!! Looks as bent as that electrician your eyeing up!

You'd get that new from the dealer for that money, he's dreaming. Obviously work is drying up and he wants out of the finance.

You could change it to a 4 pipe system at relatively little cost. Well, six pipe if it’s a hydraulic hitch. Although it may be manual, can’t tell.

You’re right, it does look like a short dipper.a well specced machine. It’s a four piper too.

I really think you should get it bought mate. Can’t believe it’s still there at 30k.
So it's a manual top hitch and hydraulic on the engcon. Picki g up attachments

You only live once, if hadn't just bought my WN EZ26 I'd be all over that. £30k even with the market like it is, I think it's a reasonable deal. I'd look to knock a couple of k off - you are all in with no warranty so there a risk element to consider. When I was looking around the good deals didn't stay around long. More than once I was considering a machine only to see it had been sold then pop up on ebay 20% more expensive

I've been having discussions with the chap. Typical got the school Christmas fete this afternoon (you'll have to get used to all this soon🤣) but tomorrows wet too. It's 2.5hrs away
Get it bought, you would probably get more than your money back splitting the attachments off and selling separately if you decided it’s ultimately not for you.
