do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better

Interesting concept
you need one of these Dylan @diggerjones to hang your Hunklinger grab off of :giggle::giggle:
love the telescoping tail weight idea :cool:

what a rough arse on this ......

this guy has a little more finesse

God knows what that block grab must've cost :oops: :oops:

I was picking up some drainage stuff from a retiring contractor locally yesterday. Bugger is only 43 so not sure how he’s done it.. but must be cleverer and luckier than me !
He’s just sold this one for 10k notes. 2008 ish with 2000 hours. Bargain! (edit -Not for me sadly - someone else got a good deal)

He tried to sell me the 2t dumper but it’s a 2002 with manual box and he muttered about 4K so I rapidly lost all interest.

Those 2 ton dumpers are flippin ace though because they fit in an ifor 1054 and will actually follow where a 3 ton digger can go width wise. Looks straight with good tires so would say £4k is a million miles off if it's all in GWO.

No - he had just sold it to someone else for 10K.. not me sadly! And he has always towed it everywhere.. we are in Devon dont forget! ( I realise my original wording a little ambiguous 0 have edited)

I think @Gunners had one on demo or hire recently. Did seem to handle a buoy bag very well!! Just hope it doesn’t have the usual JCB faff of trying to get diesel into it!!
Lift sheet says 650kg at far reach with blade down. That's impressive if that's the case. Looks like with the additional counterweight there's a fair slab of steel behind it for over the side work too
