Leaving the Kubota 8t debate aside, its got to be worth 50k - 55k to someone seriously looking - ill hang in there for a bit longer till I buy my next.
This is the point of my question to see if I think I can sell it for enough to make it worthwhile.Sand hill, who I believe own this site, have a 2018 with 3000hrs on for £45k, £50k might be a bit low for mine, somewhere between £55-60k I would say. Only one way to find out I guess. New price must be £66/68k?

Its funny go on a car Facebook group and they are all trying to talk the price up because they all have one, everyone here talks the price down because most are buyers….

Trouble is we are at a potential fulcrum.

6-12 months ago your machine was likely to appreciate in value..... I know lads with all sorts that ran machines from 2020/2021 for 6-12 months, sold them with say 500-1000hrs on and either sold at the price they paid, or made money.

But we are literally at a point where the kit could significantly devalue overnight... If you follow my ramblings you'll know I like a dabble, particularly at the lower end..... I've cash sat (which I hate having) and I have a list of things I "want"
D31s Komatsu - £5000
Site Office container - £2500
Benford 3t 2006 Dumper - £6000 (Although that wants to be down a grand)

I could go and buy these tomorrow..... issue is IF we do plummet off a cliff (And it looks increasingly likely we will) then all these bits will devalue rapidly...... the Prices we have seen the past two years are totally unsustainable in the existing market no matter what way you look people where buying machines for £100,000 to earn not a lot more than they would earn driving back in 2018..... we are 4 years on and I'd say that disconnect has become worse.

Reality wise for you, If you NEED it gone as it's a effective noose then get it gone..... Otherwise wait and see.
Difference between here and Faceache is Reality is King.

Not when your 2k dumper is perfectly adaquate and there's a good chance work will quieten up..... Plus why buy one for 6k when others will be half that when they have to go?
I'm not sure we are ever going to get 3k tidy 6t dumpers again.

If you want my advise the dumper is way to much. Dumpers are the first thing to take a hit in a recession and alas 9 tonne dumpers 2016 were making 12k at euros last week. House builder spec. They were as high as 16-17k at one point

I expect that dumper to retail for 5k today. absolute maximum.

Dumpers at 6 to 9 tonne are surely being hit by the house builders wanting there contractors to go towards cabbed dumpers.

I remember at one point (around 2010 I think) you couldn’t buy a used 6 ton dumper for love nor money! Not a single one going through auctions even! I was desperate for one but just couldn’t get hold of one to buy! How times have changed 🤯
