Jesus that’s steep for what it is. You’d almost get a micro digger for that. 
 

It’s a true one tonne dumper I reckon not a bad price decent undercarrage are not cheap

I suppose. But I bet it doesn’t hold anything like a ton, none of them do. The skips aren’t big enough. I have a 1.8t rated tracked dumper, it barely takes a ton before it’s fully loaded. Had to make some greedy boards!

 

that was bloody steep for what it is too at 15.5k. You’d get a mini digger for that ffs.

You'd almost get two if you bought from my local shop!

 

Seen loads of these around living only a few miles from the dealer, nobody seems to have a bad word to say about them for the money. I can see me picking one up for £2-3k in a few years.

I think the dumper works twice as hard as a digger so why buy cheap

Generic Chinese rhinoceros micro. No offset boom,single cylinder Chinese engine. You’d be mad to buy one.

Trouble with greedy boards they wear out the undercarriage quick

It doesn’t make even half the money though, that’s the sore point! They should be cheaper for that they are. Way more engineering (multiple pumps and valve blocks / rams for a start ) in a mini digger yet they are the same price. That tracked dumper of mine is nothing more than an engine, hydro box and tipping skip on tracks. Incredibly basic yet still 15k

Only if exceeding the rated load. My point is that the standard skip when cubed often doesn’t make even half the rated load.

mine was more than a mini but twice as useful loader, tractor, and two different skips, but all dumpers are undervalued

Nice machine, just out of interest what sort of stuff do you store in the filing cabinets? I didn't think they would be great out in the rain?
