Tim is available for weekend only Wet hire work with our 1.7t digger on trailer. (Digger with Operator). By arrangement only. Very experienced and could be helpful for removing silt etc in smaller or more confined areas due to the flooding.

Very devastating time for many. We also live right next to the Motueka river in Kohatu, but were one of the lucky ones thank goodness.

Tim can also do soak pits, trenching, auger for drilling postholes, excavation, levelling, removing branches, scrub/plants, small trees etc with the Thumb we have on our digger. Any work that is suited to a 1.7t Digger.
