what do you think a reasonsable price would be to pay for a seconed hand truck mount!!

[adl]

Depends on the TM, the spec, the hours usage, service history, condition, what has it done during its life, what extras are with it, the list is endless and thats just the start, work on the same principle as buying a second hand car

[dunny19]

what would you expect the hours usage to be per year for a full time truck mount

[Len Gribble]

I recon 5 day week in the region 2080 hrs @ say £40 hr =£83200

500/600 hours on a unit per year & your doing ok

cheers lee

what questions would you ask if you were buying one seconed hand

[lee_gundry]

the main question is regular servicing.

the owner should know all about the maintance needed for that particular unit & records to show.

a unit with 500hr on the clock But not serviced is a poor choice .

i am a little over the top when it comes to looking after my units,servicing is done well within the manufactures recomendations.

But these are the things that make you a LOT of money,so i look after  them,i carry a large stock of spare parts for my units.
