Anything it's capable of veriety is the spice of life 👍 the whole point of buying a machine like that is that is should be useful in most situations it's been on finishing works at Hornsea leasure center for the last couple of weeks

Until this carronavirus hit IMG_20200327_111258_2.jpg
Then I took it and dug a driveway extension out today

It's proving to be pretty versatile so far

Don't complain - suggest what's better
It's got ghosting of Trent valley IDB stickers on it and there was a manual for a weed bucket behind the seat so hopefully it's had a easy life on that
Ideal first owner. Drainage Boards seem to buy very good spec machines and look after them. They put a lot of hours on them, but light work.
Good luck with it.

she's a nice looking tool Thomas ... tried very hard to get to view to acquire this one in France, before the 'Drema came up, but could never get the seller to co-operate on a viewing ....

Looks like a great buy, best wishes with it going forward hopefully it will be a great success!

I really like the idea of a rubber duck, some months i spend a fortune on haulage or maybe i should buy a 8wheeler!

I've had a couple of chats with Pete on Facebook his is 4 years older so hopefully there's plenty of life left in her yet 👍

One of the big reasons for going for a duck was so I didn't need a lowloader every 5 minutes to move site to site but it's a long way anywhere in it 😲
