Tax year is coming to an end. What does one spend on money on!

[Furniss]

Good deal, bad deal or ok deal. I don't tell my customer oh I could of sold it for more. Its typical dealer trick and also helps passify warranty claims ect. I should know.

The only way to look at things is from your own point of view. If your happy/get deal you want based on current climate then good on you but just don't believe all the dealer tells you......there's more to selling stuff than just actually selling it especially with comes backs now in the uk

don't worry I've been around and sold enough plant over the years to know the tricks .... it was a genuine comment based on the current climate.

didn't know quite where to put this ... half red related, but the rest isn't

Sold the yamaguchi WB06 mini dumper.. way too loud and cumbersome. Hired a jcb htd5, ideal for what I do so looking at buying one.

Don't, the drives will bankrupt you

Actually this one has the proper planetary track motors. You can go down ramps without endangering your life (or that of your labourers).

We will see!

Guy in hire shop said he was always fixing them. Not just unreliable but a design flaw. Hopefully sorted

That's good to know, what hose was it? Sounds like something to keep an eye on

Is the super deduction dead now or is there any kind of offshoots?

I always had a good look at mine at 10 months, in case I needed to spend some (which was usually the case - hence a fair bit of new kit, over the years) ... no sense in giving it to the blood suckers if you could spend it on summat that'd make money/life easier

Me too , I have a better accountant now who’s more proactive than reactive and that really helps

mine was good ... provided you knew the right Q.s to throw at him ... he always got a dig in the ribs at 9 months, to sort out by tenth month, to allow time to decide how to spend it ... only way to go

Anyone off the street can operate it for you
It's just we don't have a busy street in front of us
