It's only worth what you and the po where decide on. Sorry, that isn't much help but they (and the type) are too thin on the ground to make serious comment. I remember looking at something similar back in the 80's and decided that the cab was too uncomfortable for anything but site use and road speed too slow. As a source of PTO, there were many tractors available and the weren't a decent load carrier. Try looking on agriaffaires po to mascus for comparable devices. Would be interested in your thoughts though! What are your intentions with such a device?

Went to try this today and was quite impressed. The seller had it in the woods and it did everything I asked it to do going up and down leaf littered slopes. He wants £4k+VAT. I'm thinking about it

perfect for lightweight woodland operations around the farm or local tree work. What kind of enjun does it have?

Possibly too late for you.

The new distributor based in N.Yorks is claiming to be a lot better than BSG, which shouldn't be hard, never had anything in stock, all has to be ordered from Italy, factory shuts down in August so no parts available then. Not great on rough ground, we consumed driveshafts, steering ram mounts, wheel swivels, mashed the diff-lock.  Some eejit didn't spec PTO or arms, might have been useful otherwise.  It now has an easy retirement on a Pembrokeshire farm/campsite. 

Definitely no Unimog, although maintenance costs probably weren't far off 9_9

Thought it was pretty rubbish until we got a Grillo, that is just scrap in waiting.
