JCB Digger or similar

[Justef]

I am living in the Tarn (81) and would like to buy a digger for digging out a swimming pool, septic tank and drainage etc.

Is there anyone who can let me know what to look for when buying a digger second hand, and where to buy one from.

Thanks

Jules

found this advert in Living France mag.

Have had no contact myself, but have often wondered about quality and prices paid for buyback deals etc

Do not know whether it is feasible.....

Several people are probably in the same position so, forming a co-operative and each having a share and buying a digger, complete with trailer.

Now, each member can use the digger (obviously a need to transport using a 4x4 etc). When a member has completed his/her work, their share can be sold to someone else.

Repairs maintenance etc would have to be funded by all the members when it requires it.

Just a thought

Don't you just dig out the pool to the depth of the shallow end, leaving an earth ramp, take the digger down to that level and dig the deep end from there?

brilliant .if the digger can only dig say 6` deep then it can only lift it 6` high. think about it........
