As a update I've put a deposit in. Needs fuel hoses as the originals are cracked enough to let in air.
Perkins 4 pot turbo tho. I like it atm

So did the bloke who bought it. I like the idea of a cheaper machine now I've nearly paid the 86c off but if I couldn't make the all singing all dancing model work for me then I need to snap out of my daydream!

Well I like my duckling. To me a backhoe would feel totally numb for what I would use it for. I can hop her over ditches, go across side slopes using bucket as you would a track machine, and it has a tighter turning circle then our Skoda roomster. The only and I guess major down side is the roading aspect it's so slow on hills. But have found it very handy for very local jobs where a bit of grunt is needed or it's miles to track a machine out to.

Think this dealer has questionable reviews but
If I was closer id be having a good look at this.

To
make it a proper competition you need to carry out a variety of tasks as well…. Unload a lorry/dig a trench and back fill, load a lorry with spoil…. And tidy up and then road it back.

So.... New fuel pipes and she's running sweet.
Pushes like a fkn train in bottom. Tbh she's a bit lackluster trying to dig in 2nd but does it. IMHO hard material. Still loaded the bucket.
Rexroth valve block on the back. Hitch and hammer piped. Cab is a nice place to be.
In two minds about removing the finger trappers.... Although in the yard it'll be mostly fork work so they will likely stay.
Lights etc work except for the beacon.
Got smooth ride amongst other nicities.
