Its a struggle with the E10/dx10, with a quick hitch they barely clear a 1t dumper. The tb108 has a good 300mm + max tip height over them

 

[Giles]

seem to pair well to mini tracked dumpers etc im gonna use mine with my Kubota kch1000 which is actually a canyon s100

but this would be a nice match for dx10 hehe

Why would you be trying to load a site dumper with a micro though? They pair with track barrows for the work they are designed for.

Or a mini loader!

If that high tips as well I’m after one!

It can be high tip or various other configurations

A guy on ArbTalk has one with the loader and dumper bodies, he really rates it. Bet it's not cheap though.

 

[Smiffy]

That looks like a similar range of attachments as the merlot cingo
I wonder if they are badge engineered or a ground up design

£18k for base then £7k for mixer, think loader is £7k, dumper bodies about same, flat body was £3k if I recall

They do them in. 800,1200,1600,1800 kg

Jesus, not cheap indeed! Mind you, what is these days??

But cheaper than buying the units individually.

The mixer would be really handy but to self load would make a mess of loose material.
Would either need a lorry with chutes on the back or a roll on of skip for of ballast I think otherwise you risk spending more time tidying up than you save

And by then you might as well get a readymix in!

I really think my road towable hand loaded mixer is the best compromise for small batches. You could load it with a mini digger, but as the bloke on the shovel is also getting the mix right it just seems pointless.

All this crap about E10 's can't load dumpers. I've been loading a 3ton Wacker, 3 ton thwaites and a 1.5 ton hi swivel thwaites for the last 2-3 weeks.

I think it would be a fine line.
You would have to be doing a very consistent job to make it worthwhile. Although from other posts I don't think the availability of volumetrics is such that it is round here. Which plays a big part.
I'm surprised mixers like yours arnt more common tbh. They are on the continent and I think they do one a touch bigger aswell.
I had to mix a little bit of concrete the other day to fill round gully grates in a slab. It takes forever in a tripod mixer essentially making one barrow at a time. And no good for kerb mix which we often just do by hand on the bed of the truck

The guy who’d bought the one at hillhead was working on top of snowdonia

can have few options with mixer swivel, straight, self load etc

For kerb mix I've found that the Sherpa and a concrete barn wall is about perfect!

Not knocking you, but why were you pairing a micro with such large dumpers?
