At this price, surely an arbtalker is going to buy this?!!!

Seller doesn't come across as someone i would do business with, you never work up from a price in my experience! Put it on for 3 take 2.5

I am thinking jcb 525 tele 1986 £2500 would be much better and you wont get wet.

bit like saying why have a tr6 when you could have a mondeo, a classics a classic regardless

Looks like he's trying to avoid ebay fees.

How does he judge whether an offer is silly or not when he has admitted to having no idea what it's worth

 

Could be a cool toy for someone that's good with spanners

True beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You can get an mot on a tr6 though just imagine the look on his face when he comes to test that crane.

Looks a lovely bit of kit

For the show circuit.

Hardly "handy" for everyday use.

Anyway if the owners of the traction engine based cranes can keep them running and in use.

Why not this girl?

Agree vis-a-vis the optomistic scrap pricing and the stated weight.

Tractor about 30cwt.

Guessing the ballast blocks could be the same again (perhaps more?)

Those large rams lifting the boom are kinda heavy

Say allow about 2 tonne for the whole crane set-up

3+2=5, at a very optimistic £200= £1000.00

But what is the low hours /with excellent tinwork 450 skid not worth?

Plus the hydraulic Boughton winch has to be worth a few hundred.

Unfortunately probably worth more "broken-up" even if not scrapped.

I take it the Vendor is a crane person from stuff in the background btw.

cheers

I dunno, that can no way be 8 ton as said 4 ton Max and certainly not worth 250 in scrap per ton. Blokes a bit of a dreamer if you ask me!

actually I had a quick look around and found a few crane hire firms with this type still available for hire! although based on other tractors, 'course could always have it just for the hell of it to

Have you read the description ?

 

Yes Sky, I did read it, but it is up at a classified add price for £500, I thought that meant he was obliged to sell it at that price, even though the description says different. At that price it would be worth buying, I wouldn't pay more myself, as I would be after turning a profit.

Sometimes I'm not too sharp at making myself clear.
