  • 'cheap' diggers

    Only a matter of time really, before the Polish stuff started hitting out shores!!

    £5K ...... full slewing

    £4K ...... boom slew only



    They slaughtered the canal boat market in the UK 10 years ago with less than 1/2 price boats .......... an' they weren't bad boats either.
    I gave up building 'em ...... could not compete with 'em, like for like

    For yer average DIY-er or occasional user these'd probably last a long time

    Not that far from me - might take a mosie on down there some time for a goosey and a demo

    I've a little Manor Micron walker I've had 25 years or more and it's a lot better than a shovel. It's shifted some muck over the years and dug a few hundred yards of trenches for me, that I would not have wanted to dig by hand.
    Not a lot to look at, but it digs like hell and'll get down a good 6 feet if you must
    I'll get some pix up, as it is as I say a damned good tool for what it is/was in its day and it'll tow behind the car
    If it's got tracks, wheels, t*ts, or an engine, at some point it's gonna give you trouble!!

          mmmm I was looking at some last week on the web .. that seems a reasonable price compared to some I was looking it, I didnt realise they had a knuckle boom as well ? unless thats an option .. 5000 hrs for a 15 YO isnt massive either

            I think most of 'em are knuckle boomed Muz - without would be the exception, rather than the rule, I think - that's part of their unique versatility.

            This is a lot of m/c for not a lot of money.
            Cost about 600 quid to ship it back ro ro freight on DFDS to Immingham.
