This is a very vague might, i own half of one, would need to speak to the other guy tomorrow, 1.5 T Pel Job
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.
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....
Wont lend ours anymore, mate ripped a track off and knackered it, days lost wages and £250 to get a new one, he didnt offer a penny
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.
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...
