Hi all.
I've been busy attending auctions and watching the market for a backhoe. I believe ive worked out how much I'm willing to spend now. Here's a couple I'm thinking about.

I'm probably more keen on the 1999 model (price wise) but the hours seem wrong. 2500 hours on an 18 year old machine. It's looks a bit scratched up for 2500 hours.

Any opinions.

Also, I've been looking at augers for a backhoe. What size auger drive do TLBs take. I've noticed that augers are sold by tonnage but a TLB normally has 750kg backhoe arm. Does that mean I need an auger to suit 750kg arm?
