Truxta powered barrow / mini-dumper

[Transplanted]

The machine in my avatar is a truxta, a very versatile little machine for pushing, pulling and carrying materials or attachments. They can carry 300 or 450 kg depending on model and have 3 power options, petrol, diesel or electric (24V battery). I currently have two 300kg petrol models and being only 72 cm wide we use them a lot for 'back garden' work getting logs and bigger chogs to roadside. I have dragged piles of brash with them too, but I intend to make a swan-neck brash cart, although I will have to walk backwards to operate this.

They are very easy to use and because they articulate they do not 'scrub' on lawns and being hydrostatic and 4WD they grip well. I have several of the available attachments and also a 20 hp stump grinder attachment which is prototype under development by a third party.(Watch this space )

A few hire companies own truxta's, so you can hire and try one for a day.

Go to Tufftruk ? TRUXTA Powered Mini Dumpers for more information and contact details for dealers.

The small black vertical handle rear left is the release for the tipper. If you search on you tube there are quite a few videos of them in use. The petrol 300 kg has a retail list price of £4,450.00 + VAT, although dealers may discount this.

Looks like a decent bit of kit. As you get older the idea of saving the old back and looking at ways to make kife easier starts to appeal more and more.

On a different note the view of the fields and trees in the background had me hankering to head home. Born in Alnwick used to live In Eglingham now reside NW of Aberdeen,

Stump grinder doesn't look very ergonomic to me

jack of all master of none. Bet they want silly money for it (anything over 1500) as well.
