tracked dumpers, any good?

[armchairarborist]

been eying up a tracked dumper i spotted in a clients garden, its on rubber tracks, approx 4ftx3ft bed tips and lifts/tips, has a seat at the front, honda petrol engine running the hydraulic pump but would change for a diesel engine to save money, not sure what make/model yet, having a play with it this tuesday before i bid for it, guy says it carries 800kg, would make extracting thinnings out of our wood easy up the slippy narrow track:001_smile: i'll pop a few pics up during the week. Ed.

i hired a ton tracked dumper for pulling a load of timber out of a school not sure of make but had a lister diesel engine and was ace:thumbup:

just got to watch those tracks on wet grass:thumbdown:

Ditto, I hired this one for a steep and awkward extraction and it was really spot on!

Or you could just get one of these and do a lot more with it...

righto, im now the proud owner of erm, well im not sure what the make/model is but it was a bit of a bargain.. off to pick it up sometime this week if i get time, its a honda 11hp petrol engine and started first pull after 3mths sat, i might have chewed the guys garden up a bit testing it:blushing:

Nice toy. Never used a tracked dumper myself but i've seen them used with other big kit on some other sites. I'd have the bed off and a sort of timber trailer/bolster pin aragement on it. Could move brash and thinnings on it that way.

toy? shh she'll hear you.. i can justify this tool because i need it..to play with

Nice tool! Just right for bolster/chipper conversion.
