Very much like the idea of being able to load a skip load from log shed straight to truck. 

When I look, sadly, they all are outside my price range as a hobby user. 

 

Thanks

I sold my high tip for 2k earlier this year. They are handy but do put the centre of gravity rather high up. A lot of them won’t lift high enough to load a transit over the sides either so watch out for that

What about one of those 3 point bucket things if you've a little compact tractor?.

 

Granted it's double handing and probably quicker just to move the truck closer to the shed.

Like the idea of a compact tractor, but also am keen that muck truck/track barrow can access narrow gates. 

Plus could fit in pickup tub and be stored securely.  Lastly... it'll be down to £. Trying not to be a miser but it must pay it's way.

Wasn't sure if you had something for use like that in the yard 🙂

That was another mark against the high tip I hired, couldn't even reach over the high sides on my trailer.

 

Would be able to reach a skip, which I guess is what they are designed for.

I like the look of  the  basic flat bed ones they seems more versatile

 

Used to use  a honda one yrs ago for dry stone walling but they are near £5000 now

 

There are various cheaper italian made ones  but since brexit they stopped shipping stuff.
