There is a fantastic sound from it if I say so myself. Controlled by app on phone, have my full local music collection, spotify, airplay, all internet radio stations etc etc. a few pics.

_Brian wrote: » Picked up this wee grab today.https://ibb.co/P99tLnQ It old and a bit worn but will be grand. It needs a new set of hoses amd a wee weld but should be good after that. One ram a bit corroded but I’ll Emery paper that and see how it goes. €120 so it’s not a huge investment.

timple23 wrote: » Depends what you are buying. Question the seller, how long they had it, what they used it for, why are they selling. Do you research, know what market value is, know what can go wrong with them and what parts/labour cost to fix them. Test all the functions of the machine. Get a mechanic to go with you if you can. If a tractor is parked on stone or grass, they may be trying to hide an oil leak. Look at their yard, if things are kept tidy, its likely they look after their stuff. As for negotiating, know what else is for sale as the seller will likely know this too. Don't give away that your too keen to do a deal, but if they can sell at the right price you will do a deal. Have your money ready to buy, don't be going looking for financing after going looking at a machine or something. Be prepared to walk away from a deal, you can always just say that you will have to think about it. Ring them a few days later and they might take lower, of course their is a risk it could be sold. Too many people only look at the price they pay rather than what they are getting for what they pay. A machine 3/4k cheaper can quickly cost that money in repairs if it wasn't looked after. Don't wear your Sunday best, don't arrive in a brand new car, don't say you have a nice off farm job. Don't give them any indication that you've plenty of money.

Personally I don't as like that I'd be afraid the seller would know how serious I am. Also, I'd never bring the wife's fairly new car - I'd always bring my old banger. So what are ye're tactics to get a good deal

Base price wrote: » That is great value Brian and best of luck with it. The ram alone would cost you that if you had to buy one and those bendy tines must be about €40/€50 each. Is it the grab only you bought or was the back end loader included as well.
