Looking for a wee dumper for my self build , One as old as ma digger :mrgreen:

I was thinking 1.5 tonne , What like are 1 tonne dumpers? Would a manual tip do me or should i go for hydraulic?cheers

depends what n where you are tipping the waste or material the problem with a manual tip is the lot comes out in 1 lump where as the hydro tip type you can ease a measured amout out n move up a bit and do the same again but the hydro ones are more expensive i have an old manual myself its a smoky old dog but starts first swing

4WD very usefull as well, once bought a load of cheap 2wd s to use on a muddy housing site , they were completely useless.
