the belle wheel barrow and the muck truck are a lot cheaper but you have to lift them with the handles to turn a corner or to get them to tip

be very careful buying a used one we had a jcb tracked dumper on higher for a couple of weeks and it was fooked it drank so much oil it may as well of had a hole in the bottom of the sump and it was definitely burning the oil as the smoke from it was terrible plus it made your eyes burn from the fumes, it didnt track straight either and to top it off it was less than two years old and apparently the best one the hire yard had!!!!
to be fair it did hold over 3 barrows worth in its skip but one of the issues with all tracked pedestrian dumpers is they are so slow
we have had a few on hire over the years the cormidis are good some have a little fold down plate to stand on but that tends to drag when the ground is undulated, other things with the cormidis are the skips are small compared to others
I have toyed with getting one of them wheeled 250kg dumpers but have heard bad things about them
you can get tracked dumpers that have a scoop on the front that would be handy
the last one in your link seems a little low as when i had my transit tipper all the ones we had on hire could tip over the back with the sides up

OK I'm gonna get finance on possibly this puppy http://www.messersi.it/portfolio/ch-2r-2/?lang=en
but certainly similar. Back hoe, bucket, breaker attachment and auger.
Would be outrageously useful.
Raaaagh, I'm doing it!

I priced a new messersi high lift tracked dumper a couple of years back without the self loading scoop, list price is over £12,000
I couldn't justify that type of money on one item but wish you the best if your buying one

I know it's not going to be cheap mate but I'm buying my brother out of the business and going to be mucking through till next spring with 1 labourer and he's going his own way and buying his own truck so I don't need to buy another truck now as I expected or a trailer and this ticks soo many boxes.mickg wrote:I priced a new messersi high lift tracked dumper a couple of years back without the self loading scoop, list price is over £12,000

I literally work all the time these days and I've noticed I'm never not tired any more also. Could really do with cutting down the labour on jobs. Got a 400 ft fence installation in 2 weeks which that alone with an auger would save me a lot of hard work in moving things around using the auger too for holes cos access is via a street down the whole length on that job. September is patio and driveway. Again would be highly useful. Might be able to hire it out with a guy too.
I'll only ever need a digger for trenches is my thinking and I can't store a digger anyway so hopefully I'll just need to hire one on the occasional day.
I'm gonna do it. I'll let you know how I get on with it.

I'm almost certainly buying this tomorrow morning with self loading capacity. £7500 ish inc VAT if they can deliver by 5th September. 13hp petrol Honda version. NOT high tip.

Dont. Awful. The skip doesnt tip over far enough, and you have to often get a shovel and scrape it out by hand

It tips at 90 degrees. Unless it's healed in wet clay 90+% is gonna tip surely

Yes I understand your logic but I've decided (finally) to spend 11k andGB_Groundworks wrote:for 12k id be getting something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm....nRXhQww and a micro digger like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm....oFXMe1o
get the diesel version with high tip facility and 1.1 ton payload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N407jreGxc
Reasoning... It'll last a long time and I can transport it on my tipper
I haven't got storage for a mini digger and a dumper so this is more versatile.
I can hire them mini or 1.5 - 2.5 diggers quite cheap locally with drop off and pick up.
