Opico Skidster or sherpa mini loaders

Nice one, I will give them a try. 
 

I think so, bear in mind the tyres are tiny… size 4.00 - 10.

Yeah they are a common size, used on muck truck etc. 

 

mine are the ‘cheaper’ alternative ones that compact loaders  uk throw in- they do the job, but in a hot day you can see them wearing down as the clock ticks!

Anyone using some kind of sweeping attachment on their mini loader? The yard always needs a good sweep but it's particularly filthy at the moment after I loaded out 5 cube of chip onto the lane outside to keep the road passable in the ice😅😅🤦‍♂️

If yard is concrete, use old digger track bolt it to a big lump of steel weld some tine sockets to it to fit pallet tines, or if you have 4in1 bucket just grab it.

If you have a grab bucket use a roll of old chain link grab it and drive works a treat backwards and forewards

That sounds ideal 👌👌

I have digger tracks, steel and I want to practice my welding more👍👍

There we go, test on Friday 👌👌

(Digger tracks are a right pain to work with  on  your own,  especially if the bench is narrow)🤦‍♂️👍
