Trying to push a trailer around in a garden with a mini digger is a mugs game. You'll just make a mess.

how the hell do you keep the water out of those filing cabs @doobin ??Did a 3mx5mx1.6m pit for rainwater harvest tanks today, in clay. 1.8t tracked dumper was perfect. A 5m shunt forwards for two piles for topsoil and subsoil, then the clay went out the gate next to us and tipped in three windrows along the stream. A slighty soft spot through the gateway would have been trashed with wheels, as it was you could barely tell. Short runs and slightly soft conditions made it the pefect machine for the job.
I've got some greedy boards on my new machine, adding 200mm to the overall height. This gives a level cubic capacity of 1m3, which is exactly payload at 1.8t/m3. With a roughly heaped load of clay it wasn't struggling.
Few pics from a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't look so shiny now.

absolutelyThey just seem to stay dry mate. Can't beat a bit of organisation.
How wide is the dumper doobin? It looks a handy bit of kitDid a 3mx5mx1.6m pit for rainwater harvest tanks today, in clay. 1.8t tracked dumper was perfect.

They do one but it's 19k not 15k. I use it 50% of the time as a transporter for men and tools, so a box was more handy. It is 3 way tip though.Does look a handy bit of kit - a swivel tip would be the dogs for graveling up drains without having to shunt about.
was wondering if it'd go over the side tooThey do one but it's 19k not 15k. I use it 50% of the time as a transporter for men and tools, so a box was more handy. It is 3 way tip though.
A shade narrower than a 2.7 digger I reckon.

The looks a great dumper. Didn't realise you had gone the full hog with a sit down one. £15k seems big value.Few pics from a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't look so shiny now.
I fully agree..... Shags the tracks, and shags your head.Trying to push a trailer around in a garden with a mini digger is a mugs game. You'll just make a mess.
