That was my thinking, change to one with twice the capacity, will have to check the dimensions for it

The petrol slane is now 700mm wide , I think the water cooled diesel was 750mm but that may have changed. We must have shifted 2 -4 grab lorry's of conc and muck with one. I prefer to walk behind it but you can ride on the platform.
I was dead keen on getting one but have since gone off the Idea of getting back in to debt.
I did have some pictures of measurements of the tracks to see if it would fit on trailer.
I can post them if you're interested.

It’s what I do!
We run Messersi’s on hire fleet, TC50d 2 Cylinder Kubota is the more powerful machine!

That would great, how did you get on with it, I seen the petrol version was a little narrower.
I hired a messari or similiar years ago that had a drop down stand but ended up having to walk as it was just dragging it on the floor

I thought it was ok, plenty of power in the tracks, I would probably remove the step if i had one to stop me banging my shins.
Also you have to use both hands on the sticks as they are too far apart to just use one hand.
Big bits of concrete can get stuck as the top of the skip has a stifining rib that sticks inwards . I also thought the skip seemed a bit thin but that could be because I'm used to the tcp with 8-10mm thick front edge.
Gunners was told they eat tracks.
This one is arse overhang ground clearance.
This looks to be the front of the track to the very back.
This looks to be track length.

And the htd5 is shite. You pays your money and takes your choice.

Had a slanetrack out on hire earlier in year. It’s a big powerful machine, but not really a micro machine IMHO. I’d like a kubota high tip with extending tracks but 11K for a new one

There is a few niggles with the htd5 but out of all the tracked dumpers I've used so far it's the best. I'm still tempted for the slanetrac but it's a big old beast at 1.9m long. So around 200mm longer than the htd5 theC ormidi c50 is not bad but is also a good 1.55m long which made a big difference on the last dig out
can the slanetrac tip over the side of a transit, with the sides up with the dumper at the same ground level? On paper it looks to be a good 100-150mm less than the cormidi or jcb

Had a quote in may, so probably gone up and need to be sitting when you see them....
£10,250 plus vat for the petrol
£12.250 plus vat for the diesel
I would need to try one, but figures are crazy

It's really not long ago that you could buy a micro for that.

that is big money for engine and track motors, no swivel etc

I know, it's too much. At those rates I won't be changing. To be fair can't see one larger dumper beating two smaller ones, unless sole working then yeah one big one would triumph

are the jcbs still notorious for blowing track motors at £1300 a pop

Heard the horror stories, but since having mine new in 2017 it's needed one hose which was badly routed so rubbed on the frame, starter motor due to some idiot leaving the key in the start position, and needs an engine flywheel cover as the bolts rattled loose and three accelerator cables. It did have a valve block within the first few months as wasnt tracking right. Still on original tracks and a good 75% tread left, although do tend to put boards down at turn points Mostly to stop it digging down or marking but helps turning

Are the jcb's now using planetary reduction drives like a digger?
