Give Matt a call at avon forest autos Ringwood. I know what you said about jcb but they have some 1.5 t machines with good history from the electric board.

Iv seen that companys website, thanks. I think our new plan is to get this months jobs done with the hire machine which should let us increase the budget to 6k or so, then gather all the funds into 1 acount (or envelope!!so that i can move quickly when i see one.

Before parting with any cash best to run a TER check to see if it's registered as stolen or has finance owing, it's not very expensive to do. (Best to assume absolutely everything is stolen on the bay !)

Cheers, Steve

Another good point, i have seen a couple advertised as ter checked so was in the back of my mind , thanks.

Why not just bite the bullet, and buy a new one. Put your 6k down as a deposit, lease it over 3 years. The monthly payments will still be less than your monthly hire charges, and hou have a machine you can rely on that will last years, plus you can fit attachments hire companies cannot provide.

any old machine is likely to need new pins and bushes, and this can cost 2k on its on
