diggers opinions and options

    Right our 1990 mf 50hxs digger burnt out only a few days ago and it wasnt the usually case of grass under the cab going up because i had cleaned it out only a few day before and we had it serviced and a few seal replaced by the main dealer just days before and we have a bill for 600 now aswell. But we had concidered changing it so the mechanic was valuing it for the sales man and he made out 12k
    (:eek:) would be what it would be worth and was commenting on how fresh she was and you could tell she was kept inside and this had to go and happen and we only had her at 8k 3rd party fire&theft we were even lucky we had fire and theft on it at, first we thought we didnt even :(.
    The ascessor was along the other day and didnt wait around for us to show him literally 5 min and asked the mother in the house where it was and then called back to the house to say that tanners would be collecting it without agreeing a settlement and again when we werent in the house. So we never got to show him the receipt for the work on it and that the main dealer had valued it and to tell him that the back bucket and bale handler werent going with it etc. :mad:
    Anyway now we are on the hunt for a replacement the main dealer that sold us the MF is now Terex has been mad to get us to trade with years and we are sure well get a good deal and we cant fault him on back up and parts and all the rest but we heard stories about the terex telehandlers which are basically a matbro so were not sure whether we could be bringing on a heap of trouble but theyre are still basically a fermec which were a good machine
    Were just looking for opinions on the different diggers now but we definitely want a 4 wheel steer for putting up silage and the smaller turning circle around the yard. But we dont want a loader like so many people have told us to get, because we found the backactor invaluable particularly during those crisiss when a tractor has to be righted or something craned or lifting cows.
    We would concider a nh or jcb but we know nothing about them so stories good or bad and comments would be appreciated
