scottishjohn Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 a wee winner i think spoke to my friendly hire co given me a 6month old takeuchi tb290 9ton digger -- charges will be time on the clock @£12/50 per hour from now till 11th of jan and no delivery or pickup charges who says christmas spirit is not real thats a winner 2
Gav_P Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 That’s a cracking deal! ... if you actually need a digger that is! 1
scottishjohn Posted December 22, 2020 Author Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) its that cheap I might have hired it just to play --even if i didn,t need it.LOL which I do as my site is so big lots of bits to move and tidy up plus fuel of course maybe it was because i greased the last one i hired from him Edited December 22, 2020 by scottishjohn 1
Gav_P Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I wonder if they will deliver one to Bristol for the holidays?!! I don’t need one, but I could think up some jobs to do?

ProDave Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Might even be less likely to get nicked from your site than his yard? 1

Oz07 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 He will be pissed off If it doesn't get used much I'd assume he is basing that around a normal 40 hr week. Imagine if it just gets used for half a day bloke won't be too happy! 1

scottishjohn Posted December 22, 2020 Author Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) what ever his reason it works for me maybe with this lockdown coming he thinks something is better than nothing ,if the builders stop like at the start when we had full lockdown Edited December 22, 2020 by scottishjohn 1
