    Do you know anyone locally who may loan you theirs. Mine was always in demand. Luckily I had a good one and a smaller not so good one. My lad was 7 and used to hop on it and go off down our lane when I wasn't looking.
     
  5. Seems locally there is a shortage of owners ready to admit they own a digger !!!
     
  6. at least you didn't say a vertically challenged (politically correct you know) Aussie !,,,

    I wouldn't loan mine to certain people!
     
  8. Neither a lender nor a borrower be !

    Good rule. It has cost me a lot of money loaning stuff out.
     
  10. Thing is hire diggers you can abuse ,lend someones and break it and they are not going to be happy...

    You can do a lot of foottings in 12 hours or even dig a swimming pool....;)

    If you end up buying one their re-sale vaue will be pretty good....:hattip:
     
  11. That's the logic I use
    So do you have a garlic munching digger I can buy ?

    We hired one and did a pool in 12 hours. Certainly wasn't worth buying one.
     
  13. Yes but I want one !!!
    There is a difference between need and want and I WANT lol

    I bought both of mine as non runners for less than £500 the pair. Sold the pair of them at a local auction as runners for £900 and £1450. I also sold all my excess mixers, two hi lux pick ups and my other building gear at the same auction when I gave up. A good result was had because of my insistence on keeping my tools spotless. The big jet wash fetched good money too.
     
  16. So anyone selling one now?

    You should be more ambitous, a customer of mine bought a JCB to do his extension, it's still in the garden 5 years later along with about 10 cars in varying states of decay...
