No no no...

Big diggers only dig big things; if you want to dig really big things, you need a really big digger.

And if you want to dig a FRO hole, you need a FRO digger.

I know something about diggers. They are amazing fun to drive around, spin and do jumps with (yes, you really can make them jump clean into the air).

Did not manage to break the one that I borrowed, so I don't know how to fix it

Make sure that when you have fixed it, you make full use of it and squash something

A mate of mine is ex-army, tank maintenance. Apparently they are a tw@t to fix

But I would have thought most hire companies would be able to put you in touch with someone who could do it

PS, it depends which way it has come apart, the links are all separate components, so if it has broken widthways, as opposed to down the length of the vehicle, you may just be looking at the price of a couple of new links

Be fair Lee your question is crap! How do you expect anyone to help, it's like asking how much a prop for a ship costs?!

What make and model is said digger?
Rubber or metal track?
How long is it?
How wide is it?
Do you want new or used?
You have thinternet and therefore Google, why not just type it in there? Why don't you also type in 'How do I stop being a grumpy arsed, judgemental ******?'

IMHO, HTH etc

Yeah, I thought he was wanting funny response with his Q title.

Sorry if I offended. Was just trying to make you smile a little.

I work for a Company that makes all kinds of construction equipment including mini hex, if they split and are rubber then sorry they cannot be repaired. A set for our machines, depends on size of machine but from about 700 notes up for a pair ............... you can buy a single track .......

Whoa! just because I drive an impreza, doesn't mean I know how much a new track is for a mini digger, and how easy it is to fit! Why don't you try www.I'vebrokenmyminidigger.com and don't call them losers, it upsets people.

...hey, not my fault; with all the threads about emigrating I see a thread about mini diggers and assume it's some one wanting to know about small Australians.

ok so I'm wrong.

Whilst I can appreciate your frustration at some of Scoobynet's jokers, Bob's post was fair enough.

Your question was so devoid of detail as to be unanswerable.

If you are going to be an obnoxious *****, at least frame your question in such a manner as to enable it to be answered.

That way you have a right to be arsey when you you get twattish replies.

A mate of mine hires them out. But given your attitude so far, I'm fu cked if I'm going to ask him

Good luck in your search.

Cheers
