Can it tip over the side of an 8yrd skip as it looks to be a good 200mm lower tipping than my htd5

My TCP or the slane?
No idea on either to be honest, I always seam to use 6yard skips with my TCP and the job we used a slane was a grab lorry one.
I doubt I will get another chance to use a slane unless I buy one as nobody has one over here.

The slanetrac, I keep debating getting rid of the cormidi and picking up a slanetrac. The htd5 easily clears the side of a high 8yrd skip and the cormidi can also manage it but is a bit lower but not as low as the slanetrac

To be honest, because its so big, 0.4 or 0.5m3 it's probably the best one out there. It's just annoying the skip is only 2 or 3mm and there is not much of a lip around the top so you probably could bend it with a micro if you're not careful.
What I like about the TCP is the front of the skip is something like 10mm.

Price to pay for higher tipping is barely getting it over the edge of a skip though

It's a trade off, the jcb will always clear the side of a skip and can load over the side of a transit tipper from road height (not off a raised path) but if the slanetrac can't clear the side of an 8 yard it makes it pointless u less having to build raised decks although it will top further I to the skip rather than just over the side.
At the moment will not be buying due to the massive covid tax looking back I regret not taking a punt on one of the two that were up for 4k ish no way am I paying near enough new cost for a used one

It could well be 3mm but whatever it is seams a bit thin when carrying out big lumps of concrete.

Some of the Chinese gear drive machines have a transaxle that is made in Japan (I think it is 3F & 2R) Said to be better than the very basic - I could never find out the axle maker - thinking of spares. I did approach Jansen & was told because of brexit they now only sold through a dealer in N. Wales. If all goes well with my little digger rebuild I could be interested in a Lumax or similar. I was thinking gear drive more likely to be able to fix myself. On the Diesel / Petrol thing - has anyone considered a LPG 'dual fuel' kit @ about £130 for Honda / Loncin. It adds to the carb. Said to save up to 50% on fuel. They even do jets for Butane (this is a domestic fuel so only has VAT @ 8%)
I once looked into a Hatz Diesel to replace a Honda petrol. Hatz was £3k!!!! as opposed to about £500 (less for a Loncin)

I did think about getting a gas kit for the Honda engine I put on my one, but that's about as far as It got. My one burns about two gallons of petrol a day.

When I last hired a Kubota 008 it used less than 5 litres in a day's hard work, hirer offered red for £1 per ltr inc his vat. Road fuel was only 20p per litre more. Out of the £ 130 per day inc delivery this was only £1 difference! Plus my money for a day's driving. If my machine is used a lot I might consider it again though. I do remember 'old' Land Rovers burning LPG years ago
