Drooling..... - Page 2

is it taxed and mot'd. ?
what is it registered as agricultural or lorry ?

location i could poss get you 2 weeks storage near brighton . but any more would get a grumpy old bloke kicking off .

the biggest problem i can see , is if its not on the road. just getting it recovered to where ever your planning is going to cost big bucks.

then mot, at some point, and if its agricultural vehicle . could prove a pain to drive any distance on the road ...

lots to consider, but given i have space , the right mot place just down the road from the farm in sussex . and having use of post to the farm . id be interested . BUT is it viable for you . god knows

phft

Can't see the point , sorry mate

I know it's an ultra capable bit of kit, but where's the challenge then?

If you had a business like an offroad center and needed a recovery truck ,\then maybe

I very much doubt there'll be any money in it after kitting it out with chippers and that for hire

Leave it

Will just have to see what the confirmed price is & find out about what it is registered as

Ta for the offer Colin but I'd get it RAC'd

No I'll cross that bridge once / if purchased

Lots of good & bad points to think about

Daz__ · 21-01-2011, 19:11

Go for it!!!

Always wanted one of them

Ive got an 8ton hydraulic boughton winch for it as well and i'm only 2mins from it

A guy near here has one and made a hydraulic trailer that picks up skips! nice little side line Adz

if you have some where to store the skips.

I may be able to sort transport but if not try the old vintage lorry/ex-military clubs, my mate used to belong to a few and they love an excuse to get the lorry out and do some recovery

Here we go

1. He wants £4000.oo
2. Its registered agricultural
3. Its solid but tatty
4. Mechanically sound
5. No MOT or TAX

6. My boss would buy it
7. My boss would go halfs

8. The farmer would buy it

9. My boss's old school mate would collect it as he runs a CAT2 machinery movement company

So with this latest update

Agri sounds ok

makeitfit · 21-01-2011, 21:33

Still reckon if you're buying it to earn off it, you've got a money pit with a piggy bank income

Let your boss buy it, and when he's spent too much on it, buy it cheap

I'm on a see-saw with this

Off Topic

any news on next weekend

extreme-4x4 · 21-01-2011, 22:41

i can see...... well no i cant to be honest 4k na.
if it was a massey or something small and transportable old tractors are very collectable

but this is not small , transportable, nor a collectable tractor.
its an old unimog that will need work and tyres and many other things.
you dont have a barn big enuf for it to work on it . and getting one will add to the expense

ok as an agri vehicle its limited mileage from the place its regd at and all road use even tractors duty is due on fuel . you can change reg easy we did it with a racing quad to get it road legal . (big money spinner) dont let on though lol
but reged as a lorry or even plg. what good is it as a toy. none running it to anywhere you might find a challenge for it you cant afford

i just dont see it

ok you could make it into something that might earn money, but then your investment is in making it pay for itself . not playing on a pay n play site as breakages wont help the budget.

if you had a farm to play on or a site or a use for such a thing then 4k maybe ....... but you dont
