Not asking specifics but I assume that's small house money!

Definitely heading that way if the merlo was new it'd get you a nice pad in a decent area [emoji33]

Is it possible to get a clean 2.8t with low hours for around £12k, piped for flail etc or is that being too ambitious? Thanks

Depends how you define low hours. You might get an older style machine with around 2k hours for that or a newer (2014 ish) with 3-4k if you were very very lucky.

Thanks Doobin, it wouldn't be hard worked- just for wee projects here and there. Was wondering whether to buy one and then sell once finished or just get someone in as and when required.

 

Having had a look last night at what was available I think I'll go for the latter option and save myself the hassle!

 

Thanks again.

Yeah exactly- I’m considering selling my 2.8t Takeuchi. It’s 2500hrs 2007 and very straight and I would want around £12k for it.

Does anyone know if there are any companies online where I can get some Volvo digger parts? I currently only need a thermostat and have struggled online. Are there some places that do several makes of digger parts etc?

 

Cheers

Cheers, just had a look and no stat on there! Gutted. Good resource for service bits though thanks.

 

I believe it to be a mitsubishi engine in this digger so might have to start searching that way.
