Compared to what I was quoted for a new machine with manual hitch and 3 buckets that's not bad although I'm sure that machine is a fair few months old now as that add has been up a while if I remember right?
It's an odd quick hitch on it as well very long and buckets look odd too
Don`t know, it came up in the similar ads part after looking at the other advert.
Hmmm looks like a CW? type hitch? German or Dutch often use them, the whole advert could be one for the scam thread :unsure:

To be fair hyd hitch is usually extra 1k from dealer so at 16k it's £500 quid under new price from what I'd expect to pay

I have a 2018 u17 with 700hrs on ..... only done 100hrs in the year or so I've had it ....quite tempting to cash it in (esp as I dont like it) as just now french values would be iro 18k€ but next time I have an indoor job I dont want to be buggering about at hire shop 🤷‍♂️ and I have a good few buckets/breaker/ripper etc for it which you don't get when you hire something.
I have never bought new machine so dont know how it works but it might be worth ordering a new machine now if delivery is 12 months as if signed for and deposit paid or whatever then it could actually be worth more when it arrives 🤷‍♂️

keep the breaker, ripper and whatever you want and flog it with the basic couple of buckets like everyone else ('cept Ollie :giggle::giggle: :cool:) .... and have a new one https://www.machinerytrader.co.uk/l...-kubota-u17-3-mini-up-to-12000-lbs-excavators

One of the things driving values here and possibly bringing a lot of not very old machines onto the market being changed for new is 130% tax relief for ltd companies. If you are someone who is 12 months into a 3 or 4 year finance deal on a machine you could actually be saving money buying a new one at the minute.

Well one thing we can sure of is dealers new prices aren’t going to go down. However used prices might. So if you don’t use it much and can cope without it for t next 12 months I’d say now would be a good time to do it.

New will plummet if/when the crash comes...... When the Music stops playing the liquidators start slaying

If your the labour part of your turnover is below a certain level here then you are not subject to tax or plus value on your written off assets when you sell up apparantly 🤷‍♂️
