    I have a Mchale good strong box. Very hard to come across second hand and usually lads selling them want the price of a new one. They are a pretty basic machine really a strong bucket and a hydrulic arm is all that there is.

    I price around and see what is value unless you intend going bulldozing with it you will get a long time out of any one of them. Try to get one that is wider than your back wheels.

    I have a Fleming one. Very strong snd no issues with it. They are a simple implement but unreal handy all the same.

    I asked OH what type our one is as the stickers have long worn off it. It is a Nugent and he bought it new in 2002.
    It has been used to scrape yards, the pad, sheds, carry boxfulls of dung, level boxfulls of dung in the fields, level whins and used as a mini digger and anything else you can think off.
    Only thing we had to do with it (2 years ago) was to get a local lad to weld a 6" steel strip to the underside of the edge as it had gone weak with all the rough work.
