I’ve got a 16x6 beaver tail indespension with loading ramp, sides and headboard that’ll be going up on eBay shortly. Good trailer but needs a bit of tinkering now. A few boards replaced or repaired, brakes adjusted and a bulb or two. Had it past 4 years and never failed me but tend to use small new plant trailer all the time now. I’d be wanting £1200. was council owned before me so been little used till I got it!
-
Amen brother!

Horsey folk certainly are the fencers best friend for all the previous reasons. Ht wire electrified definitely best, cheapest and last forever on good posts, but post and rail what most want, pay for and replace happily enough for which I’m grateful and sure the sawmills are too!

???? good man Saul
-
4000?
-
If he’s offered to do it I’d buy the kit and plenty of beer/wine/whatever his fancy is! Never know the tools may be available 2nd hand on eBay and you could punt them on and not loose much? Amazed at the £3k to do it, dealers just want to push you into a new one all the time, it couldn’t possibly be 20hrs + work for a ‘technician’ with all the kit and experience they have. As previously mentioned though I’d be interested in it for parts or I’ll take some bits if you break it.
-
No tyre kickers here, whereabouts in the country is it? I’m after a few bits but may take the whole thing minus the wheels if it’s available
-
Madness! Can’t you drop another engine in? How much do you want for it if it’s going for spares?
-
Awesome sprinters, ear plugs over 20mph though I bet!
-
Identical but another £4k. And nearest dealer to me is opposite side of country in Carlisle. Molson offered a good deal on one though but in the end thought it too far away for a little machine.
-
When I was looking the yanmar importer had lost or not renewed the contract so no new build machines available only ex stock in uk and no guarantee of who would be supporting warranty etc going forward. I’m sure it’s all sorted now but just sounded a bit dodgy for me and my hard earned! Shame as really miss my old yanmar and the new ones were cheap as chips but for the above reason I guess.
-
Wish I’d gone for the yanmar conventional, just didn’t like the idea of potential zero after sale support.
-
Yeah, salesman said they were the same machine, hydraulic and cab changes on the new bobcat and doosan made in same factory but bobcat come first then new doosan coming later. More money in white!
-
Bobcat e26 so 2. 6 ton, nice as can still tow it around Thought it looked like it. Quite fancied one when I bought my doosan last year but there was a long wait to get one. Did you get four aux lines from manufacturer? That’s what had me looking at them. Is it stable? Went to zero tail from conventional and found a big difference even though weight charts are similar.
-
What carrier size is that? Looks great, very compact.
-
Doesn’t that mean you’ve paid interest on five grand you never really borrowed?
-
As previously said I was told I’d need it over 25k, first phone call just to enquire about terms/price.
-
It’s what I was told I’d need to send in by arblease when looking at a new multione, didn’t take it any further as bought a second hand one. But over £25k plus vat they needed accounts.
-
Couple of years accounts showing affordability too I’d imagine
-
If it’s a big rise or fall it’ll be another strainer or just knock a post and staple in to run the wire if it’s not big doesn’t make a difference to line
-
I do bottom wire in strained, chalk the depth on each post as you pace them out and stab in, chain hanging off the headstock as guide for plumb if I’m on my own, easier if someone else is with you doing that and double checking with a level. I use mine on digger and tractor and think digger is quicker alone or two man.
-
Definitely second the zero tail being less stable, my knocker is very dubious on new zero tail compared to old conventional machine despite weight chart looking almost identical. Knockers about 300kg though so big for machine too.
-
At some point they’ll need doing anyway so if you’re planning on keeping it, it’s reasonable to do it. Or stick a replacement engine in but you may have the same faults or worse. Plenty of them about. I love mine so much when I get problems I’ll hopefully put a new/remanufactured engine in if I can find one under £4K. When the body/chassis goes I’ll swap the engine into the next one I buy. I’ve also got a v8 3.6 TD but when anything expensive goes on this I’ll cry, sell it for what I can get and take a massive hit! Turbos are about £3k, engines about £6k.
-
Could be vanos, tensioner or guides...could be low oil pressure possibly due to seals even. It is the v8 petrol isn’t it? Vanos and chains etc kit aren’t dear imo but I wouldn’t want to do it myself as imagine timing tools will be rr only and dear as hell. But if the kits £4-500 and a good mechanic can do it in a day £1000 would be a good investment if the cars clean otherwise and doesn’t stand you at anything. Or break it and I’ll have the amp and radio modules off you ?

3.5 ton plant trailer for 2.6 ton digger and other duties...

+1 for ifor. Most of the dealers seem not to care but there are good ones around so don’t just go local. Easy for bits, easy to resell and loose very little money, easy to use everyday. Check it’ll work with leds on your motor first, some don’t or need relays fitting.
