I can't imagine they are cheap

Apparently the micro equipment and 'Groundcare' markets are growing fast with H&S legislation discouraging work being done by hand.
I did read somewhere that the JCB Groundcare Dumpster's are built/based on Hinowa (
www.hinowa.com ) designs.

Some photos of a Dumpster that was being used at work today, my gaffer let me have a go ofr half an hour. The traction is really good, it was going through wet clay and topsoil with ease, though turning churning things up a lot.
I found it very simple to operate, though the engine created a lot of noise so couldn't hear people calling/shouting very well.

Think it needs the optional remote control (RC) pack then you can sit in the office and drive it in comfort
(and complete safety, .... well to your self )
Saw mower recently that was RC driven for use on steep slopes, wount need operators before long just let kids 'drive' them from a PC / Games consul
QuintQ built several different machines for the MOD including a JCB HME digger. (was in Eathmovers mag IIRC)

You have to stand on the platform and hold on for dear life!
The air conditioning is excellent and on a cold day the exhaust keeps your legs warm.
