I have one of these, they are good enough. Want warming up a bit in winter, the small hp engine doesn't like going straight for double drub vibro from cold!
Like mine, its a bit rusty in places/ rusty bolts. But a pretty straight forward machine and apart from a little solenoid, mines been good in the 5 years I've owned it. Only put 180hrs on it but handy things to have around I find.
The price of this one is about right I'd say for year and hours. A couple of odd things about it.
Its low on hydraulic fluid - suspect it may have been on its side to loose that?
Most of the damage has come from it being lifted with chains by the looks of it. Maybe to upright it? The bonnet is all fibreglass and its not cracked it so no problem I'd guess.
Its not got its CEASR sticker on from what I can see...
But the seller has shown the serial number which should be easy to check the TER to see if its stolen. JCB will have a record of who bought it too which might allow you to trace its history a little as its not that old.
It might have been a Jewson/ Travis hire machine which would explain why the Cesar sticker has been taken off as they usually signwrite them all over.

Go have a look at it I guess - see what you think. As a machine they are as good as the new Bomags I think. But against the Hamm, they don't seem to punch as hard for their weight. Do a good enough job though as I say, and the Kubota bit should keep it running for years - even if I have to repaint mine in another 5 years time to keep it looking tidy.
