I guess they'll be ok if you're on nothing too steep or side banks. Is that £850 in total?

 

[Shovelhands]

They are brilliant unless you are bollock deep in shite, once the cleats fill with mud and its slippy then they are hard work. But for reducing damage they are fantastic.

Wheels and tyres

I've seen those tyres on a farmers trailer and thought about fitment on 3 ton dumper myself but tbh thought they'd be dearer. I wonder if there's enough clearance off the chassis for the extra width or are the rims offset to suit?

Tbh it’s a bargain if that’s 4 made up wheels that will swap straight over, will make a very handy tool! 3ton dumpers on standard tyres soon cut the place up!

No idea ..... I had a puncture and he put 2 tubes in it before I gave up.... no nails showing inside but must of been something poking out under pressure as soon as it ran loaded it poked a hole in the tube.
Anyhow I got sick of backwards and forwards to the tyre spot so i asked him just to out a new tyre on....... and he dissapeared and reappeared with most aggressive pattern I've ever seen so I told him it wouldn't do and I wanted a match for the other 3 which he also had
I said in fact some floatation would be a good idea ... which is when he said we have these for 1000€ with wheels, seemed cheap and I do wonder if he got it wrong as nothing is cheap in france apart from maybe a baguette and average bottle of wine...... kind of tempted to take dumper in and ask if they will clear everything.

France

 

[Shovelhands]

Do it @Furniss even if they are not a direct fit, the wheel centres can be changed easy enough.

Yeah buts i dont hold too much hope, It must be a mistake , like I say there are no bargains over here.
