Foam filed tyres

[Grahams]

I have a set of Agg pattern as well, but I hardly ever use them on the loader. Currently on one of my walkers.
It is surprising how much use a mini loader can be. If you have a high capacity bucket it will take as much as a high tip dumper and as well as skip loading will obviously self load as well.
Good move to go for the cab and heater. In hindsight I should have gone for the slightly larger model (similar to what you have ordered) and a full cab, but at the time mine cost as much as I could comfortably afford and it will still unload 1000kg pallets from a lorry, just need to make sure you are straight on and careful.
Bag lifters are surprisingly cheap, but make a huge difference to safety, reducing the centre of gravity significantly and stopping the load swinging out the side.
As well as that I have forks, a bulk bucket, a large fixed brush and I picked up a second hand 4 in 1, although I don’t use that a great deal as it doesn’t carry enough volume. I also have an adapter so I can fit my grading beam as well.

what's your bag lifter look like Gra ..... was surprised when you said you were on turf tyres, but don't suppose you use it much on cross slopes.
the Dane was lethal on turfs, 'til I put herring bone pattern rubber on it and gained full directional control with some decent traction ... was like 'Tokyo Drift' on turfs

Here’s a link to the bag lifter:
https://www.norcar.com/en/tools/large-sack-lift
I’ve not had an issue with the turf tyres losing grip, but there is a lot of rubber in contact with the ground (26.5 x14 -12). Particularly good on sand dunes as well. They also recommend them for snow if you aren’t using studs or chains. As you say though, I don’t do a lot of side slopes.

jeez .... tha'sa long way up

how do the dumpy/tonne bags stick the single point lift with that ?

that and my spreader'd work well for dumpies

 

[Grahams]

When you purchase materials in dumpy bags it tends not to be filled as full as you do them so normally you can get all four corners together, if not a short strop works well. When I’m filling them with bullets about half full is more than enough if you want to keep the rear wheels on the ground.

i like the look of that bag lifter and it could be something worth looking at just at the moment my main priority is
a set of grass tyres and i would like a bucket type concrete mixer new nearly £4 k but hopefully find one secondhand in due course and if my numbers come up, may be a harly boxrake

 

[doobin]

Yeah, what put me off an avant many years ago was the prices of all the attachments. So I ended up with a digger instead.

you are so right on the price of attachments but i can see some amount of time being saved it will need to be one at a time.

I reasoned that it was a no go for me as I do so many different jobs, but a digger comes in handy for everything. I’m sure people say that about a mini loader also but not in my business.

 

[Grahams]

I would go for a mini digger first, but instead of a dumper, go for a mini loader. Much more versatile. Attachments are expensive, but if you have the work for them they will pay for themselves. You can also hire attachments for that one off job or to see if you like them.

Thats exactly what i have done my kubota 27-4 with the rototilt is now paid for along with all the attachments hammer etc a dumper seemed to be a bit of a one trick pony so enter stage left a multione a lot more money than a dumper right enough, but it should do the work of a hilift 1 ton dumper load unload and carry builders bags load grade stone and all for comfort of a heated cab and to top it all move it on a plant trailer what moor could you ask for .

Jeez Tony... you really did tick all the boxes

 

[Grahams]

You got a good selection of toys with it. I wish I had found the extra at the time and got a cab.
I'm sure you will find it indespensible once you get used to it. Can't imagine how I coped without mine.

How are you getting on with it?
If you are considering a bag lifter there is one on ebay ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163757108461?ul_noapp=true ). Not sure how good a price, but good design as it has an adjustable arm for different sized bags.

I'd guess that's a little over half new price Gra??? anyone know? cost probably to them .... 150 quids-worth of materials max. plus a test and some fab.ing ...... I spent my working life making the wrong things ....... looking at the prices of att.s

 

[Grahams]

I don't know the price of a new one, but if I didn't already have one I would pay that for one, especially an adjustable one.
