It's a value you put on an earning potential. Hence why I've not let certain things go but have let others.

I've an old micro digger, I was offered bugger all as px back in 2016 so it stayed. But when you need a machine because others are tied up elsewhere that's when you know it was worth keeping.

As with most of the minis/1t dumpers they drop and they will hover at a price and not decrease any further.

 

[Jimoz]

Should of serviced it after you bought it not before!

 

[Canal Navvy]

I'm glad I'm not the only one to do guerrilla servicing on other peoples squeaky plant ...... twice recently I've had a morning of torment before they bugger off for lunch and I can creep in with grease gun in one hand and a pack of spare nipples in tother

Yes agree with spare nipples - at least half of ‘em wouldn’t take grease. So a soaked the pins with oil

 

[Routy56]

Should have serviced it after you bought it not before!

Looks like I may have added £2k in value

 

[Canal Navvy]

Do you reckon they even notice that their machine has miraculously mended itself

 

[Quattromike]

I wish someone would come round here and do some greasing

@Routy56 ..... fancy a lift share ?

I had a thanks once when I sent a machine back greased and cleaner than when it came out. Didn’t knock b####r all off the bill, though.

when I hired the stone cropper off the local boys in the village ... and it went back fully repaired, cleaned and all sorted ... it cost me ..... sod all - apart from the repair time and a few bits of metal ... Like you Bri, I always like to return it better than it arrived

 

[Routy56]

Yes every time I did something they very graciously thanked me
And that included putting a new plug on the plant trailer Then and popping round with my FLT number numerous times to unload pallets of turf, slabs and blocks
Still waiting for some beer or a concessionary purchase of their little Ovlov project

 

[Routy56]

My neighbour, Terry who lives opposite, is much older than me
"Dave, can you just pop over with your digger and pull the hedge up? It's pulled over the fence!"

"Terry that hedge is very overgrown and the fence and posts are completely rotten! I suggest that we clear it all away and put a new fence in."

Hedge chainsawed and loaded into the dumper....

....and roots grubbed out

Quick rake through and track flat....

Raked, seeded and left tidy.
Another job jobbed

Then Terry said, "Can you just sort out a bit of new fence beside the patio, like the one you did at your place?"
