Desert Island Diggers?

..... and lastly, as well as a Bible and a copy of Shakespeare's works, you are allowed one piece of plant or machinery with necessary fuels, oils and spares, on your desert island.

What would it be and why?

Hi,
After 55 years of plant it would be good to have a break away from it all. :lol: :lol:
If I must choose :doh: I suppose it would be my old Challenger. They've served me well for nearly 40 years and it would be like having an old friend allong.
(Don't know where you'd find the apares though).

It would depend on the terrain but a mini digger might be handy. Is there a tracked dumper with a hoe arm?
