£34k included guarding and grab! Yeah, I’m going to fine tune it as I go s30 hitch next. 

Hey mate. Is this on one of those 0 percent finance schemes?

Hi Pal, I didn’t make use as it was only up to 2 year deal at 0%. Finance rates are still very low so made use of having the additional cash in the bank and bought another excavator 🤣

You bought another one the same? Or replaced the other one? I didnt think it was that old?

 

What is the 'arb' spec, just twin lines?

[Stephen Blair]

Bought another 1 Doobin.  I’ve 2 yards, 180 miles apart and got fed up dragging it up and down the rd.  so this is the up north digger and the other 2 are Ayrshire diggers now.    Arb spec = twin lines, guarding and a grab I reckon.

Bloody hell you must do some miles! Makes sense though.

 

I rarely go further than ten miles from the yard. Lucky down here in the South.

Finance rates are not that low, but if the manufacturer is doing 0% over two years then they will also do subsidised rates over five. I think my E27 is 1.6% over five years.
