Have just acquired a working Tusker Digger and also had the same idea of getting a skip to fit if possible. I see it mentioned by several people that they were supplied like this as new. Any information anyone has about these machines would be appreciated, like for instance how old are they, where might the model number be to research it, and are handbooks available for them? Is the similar standard dumper with just the skip the same thing, or is it all different?
Thanks Brian

Thanks for that, at least I can see what it is supposed to do. Are spares available does anybody know as my steering box and linkages needs some work, and if anyone has a skip that will fit, I would really appreciate the info.
Thanks Brian

Just bought myself a working tusker digger. Came with a skip (forward manual tip). I'm getting round to tidying it up. If anybody wants to take some measurements in order to fabricate one for themselves please contact me. I'm in the Mid Wales area.

Thanks for the link to all the brochure material. Very interesting.

Cheers.
