Title: WANTED: Mini Digger
Post by: JulieS on June 22, 2011, 06:48:53 am

I'm in search of a mini digger.

Does anyone know of one for sale please?

I don't mind travelling.

Many thanks.

You didn't say where you were.
If you google Wilsons Auctions Dalry Scotland, you will see a few that are up for sale this weekend. I will be going, so even if you aren't interested, i will let you know how much they make?

I can hire a 1.5t with trailer + various buckets for £190 a week, so that maybe an option for you if you don't have a big job on - try Hewdens or A plant.

Many thanks Toby.

I'm in Devon, but if you could let me know what they go for at the weekend I'd be interested.  I'm willing to travel for the right digger.


If I haven't managed to buy one I will hire for the project I have in mind at the moment....but will be useful to have one here for jobs that need doing most of the time.

Thanks for your help.
