Me neither

it'll be going back but looks reasonably well together (assuming the pix are recent)Me neither
10k seems a good price........ I found Facebook very frustrating when looking for a digger ...... A lack of information and some rude one word replys........though a mate of mine has just bought a unimog on Facebook for big bucks
Had 5.5k on earlier....excellent .. can't wait to see the weapon
the guy in Ireland with the Hannix, has now actually put a price to it

no ---- £5,555 ..... maybe Aiden's had a word in his shell likeHad 5.5k on earlier....
or he's on here ??
Bizarre.......Had 5.5k on earlier....
pretty normal for FB to be honest
NiceI too suspect it's not the "real" price....I have found this is common practice whilst looking for a digger.
However, the bullet has been bitten. My new to me Cat 301.7d, 2015, weighing in at a shade under 2t should be on the Ferry to France tonight !
Simon's machine was always going to be a push for my budget, and after some chatting, we both agreed...
Found this one in York and had a mate check it over. There are a couple of small jobs ( and probably some bigger ones ), that need doing, it's had some paint, but I have seen the before photos it wasn't too bad imho.
Just over 2000 hours, and one owner plus dealer. He agreed to O% rate the VAT, and it was collected by Simon from George White first thing Monday morning ready for the boat tonight, so should be here Thursday \ Friday.
I am nervous and exited in equal measures!
I will post some pics when it lands here.
A massive thanks to all who have helped and advised throughout this journey. It's a compromise, but I think it's a good machine to test the waters. If my research is correct, there is a healthy profit to me made, even after some use, which may well lead to bigger and better (machines) things in the future lol.
At least my ass won't be sore now I have finally got off the fence
I will definitely be sticking around, I have already met some great people on this forum ........ and I will probably need some more help in the future lol.
Thanks guys
Happy to have a look at it for you if you likeno ---- £5,555 ..... maybe Aiden's had a word in his shell like
either way, I don't think that's dear TBH ... they're a great machine .... tranny'll rack it up some though
Look forwards to seeing pics! 301.7ds are good machinesI too suspect it's not the "real" price....I have found this is common practice whilst looking for a digger.

You'd still have half of it though!would love it Aiden ... might be a divorce in the offing though
Just tell her you sold one of your other ones.... your just keeping it to they collect itwould love it Aiden ... might be a divorce in the offing though
. The boom swing from left to right is really slow. I can speed it up by using the aux button at the same time but I know this is wrong. Everything else moves at the correct rate, and seems to have loads of power. The manual says I should press the button on the left joystick and operate the floor pedal to move the boom. However the boom moves regardless of whether the button on the joystick is pressed or not.
looks like you've scored there BoyoSo, D Day, as we have been calling it has finally arrived at 0745 this morning! Not the best photos as the heavens were just about to open. Really pleased overall. Everything is as described, and everything seems work as it should, (though I have not actually done any digging yet!), Except for one thing
I initially thought it was my lack of knowledge/experience, but after playing and reading this afternoon, I definitely think it's a problem with the digger. Any thoughts guys? Thanks in advance as always.
