Muck truck barrow or similar

[6feetdown]

Anyone use or have a powered barrow?

Yes good at times and carry a good load but not as fast as a wheel barrow in the right hands

Got a muck truck that gets out of the shed occasionally when the 6 ton dumper doesn’t fit!!
It main use is moving logs. Sometimes the barrow is quicker that getting the muck truck out of the shed!!

Bought a muck truck as a cheap alternative to a proper tracked barrow, less than two grand and we’ve moved tons of material with it alongside the micro.Not as good as a tracked skip loader obviously, but about a quarter of the price and I charge the same rate.
Biggest downside is you have to manage your stockpile sensibly and takes a bit of getting used to,will equal about three barrow loads per trip on the Max version.

Sold mine as it was just sitting there not getting used.
Biggest irritation with muck truck was the gravity tip tub so no good for concrete or pipe bedding etc .
Had it a good few years though and couldn’t fault it for the money
Belle warrior wheel barrow or 1t tracked barrow.

Yeah concrete would get very messy .

I bought a muck truck years ago, couldn't afford a tracked dumper at the time. Better than a barrow , especially when you're using a digger.
It served me well for several years, including after I got the slanetrac as a backup/ extra capacity, but I've not used it for ages and now I have the little cormidi dumper I'm going to move it on.

I would like a smaller kubota high tip with adjustable track width to complement my set up. But one has yet to present itself, and now the hire place a mile away stock a JCB variant it will never make sense. The bigger one is handy as you can drop a dumpy of 803 into it at yard with bucket or a forklift and then drive it off at other end and get it where you want. Shovelling 803 out of a dumpy is a vile task. Dumper needs some greedy boards though really as I haven't managed to tip it over yet so it obviously needs more load capacity.
