I see the listing is no longer available. Does seem cheap, especially the way everything else is just now. Wonder if it was a scamtalking of Kubs ........https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1047940412281270/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_general&referral_story_type=general&tracking=%7B%22qid%22%3A%226964512235330949981%22%2C%22mf_story_key%22%3A%22227382822060231231%22%2C%22commerce_rank_obj%22%3A%22%7B%5C%22target_id%5C%22%3A227382822060231231%2C%5C%22target_type%5C%22%3A6%2C%5C%22primary_position%5C%22%3A0%2C%5C%22ranking_signature%5C%22%3A3941846775823859712%2C%5C%22commerce_channel%5C%22%3A501%2C%5C%22value%5C%22%3A5.499254918936e-6%2C%5C%22upsell_type%5C%22%3A807%2C%5C%22grouping_info%5C%22%3Anull%7D%22%2C%22lightning_feed_qid%22%3A%226964512235330949981%22%2C%22lightning_feed_ranking_signature%22%3A%22999915906026962944%22%7D

Going to tryout a jcb dumpster today but I'm not expecting much. A customer hired one the other day and it couldn't turn with a full load.
I had a look at a slanetrack and they look good with chunky undercarriage but there are a couple things I don't like about them, these may not matter but they would bother me.
The skip looks a bit thin I would guess 3mm and is not welded on the outside so there is a small gap that will probably rust.
The petrol has no engine cover so any muck you spill will go over the engine and in to the throttle linkage.
It no longer has proper track motors although it does have a auto stop brake.

Man could I do with one of those. They are like hens teeth in Australia and priced ridiculously high.

After using the jcb for a day I can confirm it is rubbish.
The lumag vh850 HT is too wide (800mm) and the specs don't mention skip volume, load capacity in kg is almost irrelevant .

The good point is the levers don't vibrate too much.
The things i found most annoying are
it's gutless tracking power.
The bum sticks out so far you have to walk behind it leaning forward so you don't kick the bonnet, then you end up with back ache.
The lever positioning is completely random.
The skip is too small, 0.2m3 apparently.
It doesn't tip any further forward than the lifting gubbins that hits the side of the skip.
The things I also didn't like is the stupid pull stop and I'm sure it sped up when getting it off the trailer.
Think I'll just keep fixing the TCP because all new dumpers seam a bit rubbish.

I had a proper go with a petrol slanetrack this week. It's got to be the best one going at the moment with the 500 litre skip and the high ground clearance.
The only thing I would say is the skip is a bit thin and doesn't tip very steep, It takes a few attempts to get it empty.

Guy local to me has one, really rates it. Think 9 or even 10 k.

For a <700mm wide high tip it does have the second highest capacity I've seen so far.
Slanetrack is 0.4-0.5m3
Your Messersi is 0.27m3
TCP is 0.25m3
Jcb is 0.2m3
One thing that concerns me with the Messersi tc50 is the low power of the engine. What does it turn like with a load on and is it slow?

I have a petrol messersi turning with a load on isn’t an issue I know what you are trying to get at & I don’t think it is particularly fast but I don’t have any thing to compare it with.

My TCP is about half walking speed when its flat out.
The slane goes a good bit quicker, maybe full walking speed but you would have to stand on the platform for that otherwise you'll bang your shins on it.
Slane, 4.5 km
Messersi tc50, 4.2km
TCP, 4 km
Looking at that there's not much in it

What I like about my Lumag with it's gear system is that you can get it up to a fast walking speed. It's very quick on turnaround, but you have to really 'drive' it- throttle control, gear changes, you're always pulling levers. Goes up nice and high (way better than the hired Hinowa, which wouldn't even reach over a Transit tipper!) and tips well forward- I've never had to try hard to get it to empty.
