Smalley Digger Mini Digger Not Komatsu Jcb Kubota

Smalley digger mini digger not komatsu jcb kubota. I inherited this digger from my Father after he had finished his selfbuild house. He bought it about 20 years ago. I have a small holding and have used this machine for the last 4or 5 years.... Good points.Its very old. No electronics old school simple.

It has always been a really good starter, even on the coldest of days, it digs really well, its towable locally (I personally wouldnt tow it more than a few miles) Ram seals have been replaced and are good. Comes with two buckets 2ft and 16 inch. Bad points, Its very old. The boom ram doesnt stay extended when you release the lever and it slowly drops, (Its a non return valve in the spool thats sticking I reckon. Its worse after its not been used for a while\) Theres a hydraulic oil leak from a pipe union on a ram.

(a new hose would sort this.) Tyres hold air but are a bit perished...... plenty of life for around a build site but the police bobby might have a benny if you were on the motorway with it :-)... Theres play in the pins but you get well used to using it. I am selling this without the starting handle because it fits other lister petter eqipment here. They are readily availabe and cost about £25-£30 second hand off classifieds board. My father dug all the footings for his house with it and loads more besides. I have used it loads arfound the smallholding and it works just as good as the day i got it.

I'm happy for people to come and view. I can show it working and digging. I'm selling it as i am buying a tracked mini digger which is a much better digger but a lot more expensive. VAT included in the sale.
