Circa £15k, I sold mine which was a 1996 rg30 with 2014 p22 with 300kg weight and rockspike for £13 and was tidy.

you don't need to spend £30k, can get a good used p22 on a Kubota base unit for circa £15k.

and fixed rigid to the machine with no sloppy link arm stabilisers and tyre movement, and no paying someone else to sit in the warm on facebook, listening to the radio and not managing to position the tractor in the right place whilst your getting wet and cold. Get them out wiring up!

Just buy one and you will wonder how you coped without it.

My biggest cons:

Tractor and low loader sometimes a bit big to get in places

Not so handy when you have to nip and do the odd gate.

Apart from that, quicker, cheaper to run, less mess, less labour, no compromise on knocker options/size, carry materials and tools on board, no cab to smash on trees, no clutch, gears, handbrake on off, in/out all day and your not putting hours on your tractor on tickover which doesn't do them any favours. Fed up or packing up? put it on ebay....gone within a week
