The last 2 big saws I bought were the 461 and the 880 , my dealer told me to grab them before they change them too , have just bought the MS 200C with m-tronic so this is a first for me . Ste

Prices have shot through the roof over the years , when i bought my Kobelco 7 years ago the market was flooded with low hour imported machines and yards where full of them but with The Japanese Tsunami and Chinese boom that stopped all the imports of low hours machines. Also the likes of Cautrac who specialise in export too Australia in machines especially near new ones also effected the secondhand market . My 2 Kobelcos diggers are worth more now than what I payed 7 and 8 years ago . Ste

Try Cautrac Bolton/Colchester and Molson in Warrington , Molson have some nice straight machines in at moment. Look for Kubota's in that weight range , has for selling on I am sure you will find plenty of work if you pickup right machine . Price wise they are not cheap full stop , been 7 years since I bought my last 2ton digger and I am horrified at the prices now . Links below and browse sites , have dealt with both. http://www.molsongroup.co.uk/used-machine/376 http://plus.cautrac.com/usedcautrac/construction/mini-excavators-7t-mini-diggers/case-cx26b/7e87805c-bfc7-47a3-aec4-2fa563ac8217.html Ste

To be honest No , if one drive's it sensibly it will return 15 mpg Towing has there is no need to rev its tits off like the inferior trucks out there but if you want to drive it like the Dukes of Hazard then boom 6mpg . Ste

I run a Ford F350 superduty but unfortunately it's down rated here to 3.5t but still it has a 8ft bed that's 5ft wide and will tow all day long . Parts are not a problem and in 7 years I have had one coil pack that let me down . Ste

Yep grass is growing lovely and lush but mowing at this time of year with water table so high is going to make a mess with a Roller mower especially with the amount of Worm Casts so I Am reluctant to mow any of my round . Ste

This is how I look at it, last 12months I have dragged that machine up and down off my trailer endless Times , tipped it over ,crap petrol, forced it through gate openings and all my tree work is Conifers so its had a hard life and paid for itself big time and runs sweet . Ste

Saw Hi, what makes you think he has no OVER HEADS TO PAY ? what makes you think he is cutting corners on H&S , you are surmising. Like the rest of us he WILL have Bills to pay and possibly a family which to me are Overheads .
