Bobcat 643 KUBOTA, 1991, Helsinki

Purchased as a spare in summer from huutokaupat.com when delivery of the new machine looked likely to be delayed.

However, the machine arrived on time, so this one was not needed. It has been standing for a couple of months. Starts nicely, as if it had just come in from the palm grove.

Delivery within mainland Finland is possible: €99 + €1 / km, VAT 0%

As we have no personal experience of the machine, I am using the information from the previous owner's listing:

Bobcat 643 – a working and versatile workhorse!

For sale: a working Bobcat 643, which has been in light use in recent years. It has nevertheless been serviced regularly and has operated reliably all year round. Starts well both in winter and summer, and does not leak oil or other fluids.

This is an old but working and useful machine with good lifting capacity. Excellent for snow clearance, earthmoving and building projects around a garden or holiday home, for example. Last summer it was used to make a sandy beach at a holiday home, so the machine has done real work rather than simply standing unused.

The machine is easy to operate. The heater and lights work. The glass in the front door is cracked, but this has not affected use. The door has been kept off during the summer and used in winter. The driver's seat upholstery needs attention.

The machine also has hydraulic stabiliser legs fitted at the rear. These are useful if you purchase an excavator attachment.

Advantages:

• Working and ready for use

• Serviced regularly

• No fluid leaks

• Starts well in summer and winter

• Heater and lights work

• Good lifting capacity

• Hydraulic stabiliser legs fitted at the rear

Things to note:

• Driver's seat upholstery needs refurbishment

• Front door glass is cracked

An honest and capable machine for its next user.

The bid price includes VAT at 25.5% – a good purchase for a business, farm or private use.

Easy to transport on a car trailer!
