hi there

for your budget id recommend a little david brown tractor with loader or similar,

we picked up a little 1390 2wd with loader for £3000.00 last year off ebay. was a good little workhorse and you can run a log splitter/saw bench as well in the future off it.

Be careful with storing chip in piles that high they have a habit of spontaneous combustion.

thanks for the advice, i will look into that now. i will be carful with the combustion fingers crossed

I do store high but only in reused tonne fertilizer bags with the tops cut out. Even they I normally restrict to only 3 high but thats more to do with health and safety and the stack falling over.

£3000 buys you a lot of "simpleton-brute with big shovel" hours....

Aye get on the bay and see what you can find but steer clear of cheap telehandlers. I bought a sambron for 3k it run for about 3hrs!! Lesson learnt!!! Now i'll have to pay another 3k or so for a runner and then i'll have spares
