that Kub morphed into a C@T overnight

Kub went in first for a week then cat did the rest at a later date.. was 400mm of concrete in places, no bother for either machine to be fair.

[diggerjones]

Easy enough. About an hr. Moving it about on the floor is a pain. Heavy little bugger

 

[diggerjones]

I want to but I haven’t got the balls to do that. Minimum 400kg over surely.

I had thought about it before. The job i was finishing was up on a high patio and the next job i had to get on top of a high bank so thought i would give it a go. The Kubota would be the best especially with the cab off.
The Kubota would only be less than 1400kgs.
The case would be over 1600kgs.
Cabstar legally carries 1400kgs ☹
So over weight about 2 or 300kgs
Carries it no problem.
My biggest fear was driving it off the side. Being a tipper there isn't anything holding down the body at the front. I strapped it down and it worked well.

If the pivot point for the tip is not on the very a*s of the truck would you be able to tip truck part way so the ramps aren't quite so steep & fabricate something to stop it tipping further while loading?

would it fit on one of those castor trolley bases the supermarkets get their deliveries on ? ... or extend one with some ply? Got a couple here ... one on top of this, upside down

they'll stand a fair weight, those
