I'm planning a job that will get done over many weeks/months and am
considering buying a small (say 3/4 ton) digger nth hand to sell on
when I've finished with it. I think this would work out cheaper than
hiring.
I want a tracked machine not a powerfab type. I don't want a complete
wreck but I'll consider something that needs a little TLC.
I'm near Southampton so something in the southern half of UK would be
preferred.

Anyone know of anything that might suit?

TIA

Bob

It might be worth asking a few hire shops what they do with them when they
get to the end of their ecomomic life. If they sell them for a knock-down
price you might get one with some life left in it for very little.

Otherwise, Ebay is your friend.

There is a place in Sway near Lymington called dial a digger. They might be able to help www.dialadigger.co.uk. It's a self drive hire place that might have something floating around.
