Have you looked on Adtrader? They often come up for pennies in useable condition.

The Free-ads do have them but be sure it's not one that's been nicked. And on that note, if you see my mixer, trailer, Alfa gearbox with custom made bellhousing, let me know.............

Or try at local farmers auction.

Strangely enough, farmers around here seem to go all giddy at auctions and pay way over the odds for equipment! I was at a farm sale a few weeks back and the dumb kit shickers were fighting over an old Clarke arc welder. It went for £90+vat and comms! A new one would only be about £50. They went daft buying a set of 14" snow tyres. They made £85(+ Vat and comms) and they were cracked remoulds! And paving slabs!!!! £2 each!!

You can hire one from your local friendly Jewsons builders merchants. [guess where my new job is]. Dont accept the advertised price haggle and you may get a substantial discount.
