    Sounds proper tastey that! A local business owner ran a 4.6HSE, whiche he bought brand new, which I commented upon, he claimed for all the difference in running costs, (which his business could obviously afford) it was worth it for the effortless performance. Enjoy your toy.

    Erm, cough cough, a friend told me, honest!

    Understood, as can wee forestry trailers! For the same reasons.

    I phoned to enquire, the bloke seemed open enough, it was imported by the 1 and only owner from the states in the '90,s, presumably traded in again sommat else, but was out on demo/appro, so I suspect he used my enquiry as leverage. He said if the potential buyer did not bite he would phone me back. He has not. I did not ask how much he was looking btw. I did a very brief search, and apparently "common as muck" in the states and canada, and reckoned to be idiot proof and very very tough. I still think it is proper cute, and functional, of course. marcus

    Oh! Ere Mrs! look wot ah found in England, the postage stamp size image would not let me copy, so here is Kubotas offical bumph https://www.kubota.com/product/R420/R420.aspx common as much in America and Canada apparently sexy sexy sexy

    I favour Boris's Thames estuary island airport at least the money spent thereon would not be entirely wasted. RE the future of air travel, I despair at the heaving masses jetting off cattle-class, to bespoil ever more newly discovered/developed, previously unspoilt areas. Leaving a trail of litter in their wake. Jet fuel should attract the same punitive taxation as road going fuel. Simples!

    https://www.coppard.co.uk/pdf_admin/manitou-slt-415.pdf A 3 wheeler perhaps? 1500kg/2000kg is planty for me, and I presume like a Moffet, the single rear wheel can turn near sideways? cheers M

    Cept, hawk,'n spit, they are a JCB product, which marque my father fell out with 50 years ago. Some family traditions need to be upheld one understands.

    Look at Godon Agricultural/Cowlings Agricultural Cowlings have an absolute honey of an L4100HST Kubota, i.e. 41Hp and hydrostatic transmission, on wide agri tyres, with a proper Kubota loader. My kinda indestructible (i.e no dry clutch) all round useful multipurpose tool
  11. difflock
    no no! NO! it ud be a 515-40Agri The smallest telehandler JCB do, but still too new to be affordable.
  12. difflock
    TSK TSK there were some seriously sexy fat trellerborg tyres on there. Since rubber dont rust!

    I admit to being shocked at the "presentation" of ANY of the advertised kit. Did the "insiders" hope the Bord ud let it go for scrap, price wise, leastwise, i.e. none of this public auction nonsense?(if it looked neglected enough) Is all I can figger.

    I got the money, but being lazy as Sheaugh Water(i.e. tucked in beside Senior Managment, at 19:30 hours after a wonderful chicken dinner) I could never "make her pay", as somebody on here(Mutley) says "he who dies with the most toys wins", on that basis, well I am probably well on my way to winning! Ah do so lust after oddball machinery though. sigh!
  15. difflock
    erm! yeese will talk me inta it yet, I were joking .. .. .. kinda .. .. .! on tother hand there is a wee honey o a 40 HP HST Kubota on fat agric tyres with no cab, which ah could seriously get the hots for! It ud be more expensive though (i ud hope)

    wills-mills I discounted the Moffat as being v cumbersome and wide to access buildings/gaps. Bob, The Scaeffer suggestion brings be back to an earlier notion to mount my tractor forklift mast, to the front of a 1tonne hi-tip dumper(in lieu of the skip) which idea I recently set-aside as being way too easy to topple sideways! Cos an ah dinny bounce like ah usetay! Kinda rationalizing(Hmmm??) I really want a 35 to 45 HP hydrostatic drive Compact tractor with a loader, will lift and transport (transporting on 3 pt linkage mounted pallet toes if needs be) as much as I need, and otherwise all-round useful. Regards all and thanks for the ideas Marcus

    Prefer to be able to tow on a plant trailer, as not. The JCB 926/930, a bit large and cumbersome, even if relatievely bombproof/indestructable.
  20. difflock
    Dent, thanks for reminding me about the JCB 2CX option, Kramer I am aware of, since a few about local, due to a local dealership(as was) Skid steer, not interested. The Attack, hmmmm a possibility, but rather deal in NI or from a recognised reputable UK dealer. To save travelling to kick tyres.

    thanks Bob, my eyes glazed over when searching for "forklift", bloody hell, theres millions of the dammed things for sale! And I was considering gas, or even electric, since I would only be running it intermittently. Figgering owt diesel, would carry an uncessary(to me) price premium. I REALLY REALLY WANT a babby telehandler, but way too expensive to be justifiable against my actual needs. I hired a 4512 Wiedemann for a work job, and proper fell in love with its nimbleness and all round versitility.
  22. difflock
    Ah!, on Ausa's website, with a wee video clip as well, quite good articulation,& being aware of the solid looking industrial tyres, I would need to consider retyring, but since 2WD , that is a straightforward operation. But tyres/traction workable as is my my surfaces. They seem to be aimed at fruit & vegetable growers for the home (Spanish) market, i.e. bring produce from the fields and load onto a lorry, so no great height(3.0m) of lift either. But kinda "fit" with my likely or imagined use. like lifting & stacking my 0.5m3 bundles of billets, weighing 250kg wet/150kg dry cheers marcus

    My next purchase. I will need to traverse areas of consolidated hardcore, but not "mud", though sommat on floaty tyres (like a Wiedemann 4512 or an Ausa Taurulift 144, but both too expensive, being new to the market) ud be absolutly perfect. A JCB Teletruk, therefore looks the most likely candidate, but v heavy/too heavy to tow. However if I dont need "reach", or can live without reach, should I/would I be wise to consider the Ausa C11 off-road forkift currently on offer on ebay. Ausa Forklift.ausa C11 . Ausa . Forklift | eBay I dont need to lift more than a tonne, and something so apparently simple has a certain appeal:confused1: Though I much rather have hydrostatic drive than gears.

    We use Bowcom paint, supplied direct from the factory, I also watched a Belfast Council employee, literally "whizzing" round several pitches with their (somewhat under-engineered )ride on trike arrangment. very impressive Overmarking is simple and fast. striking out if the lines are lost, slow and tedious. Especially if the goal posts are misaligned(not unheard of btw) ONLY wash the nozzles with detergent or supplied cleaner, NEVER the steel bristle from a wire brush. sigh! m

    I can predict that he will snap the chain brake on, do a double forward somersault, followed by a Parachute Landing Fall, roll forward onto the balls of his feet, nonchantly give the rope the merest tug, and have the trunk land 3" from his toes as he gives a bow. How? Simple, he is obviously SAS trained. How do I know? By the choice of headgear. I blame watching too much Sherlock Holmes btw.
