[RIVERRAT]

Any one have any experiance with this little unit?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

They say you have to be careful (PG&E) with the wheeled types here in my neck of the woods so they bought some a while back that were lower and on tracks.

 

[NeTree]

Cool. A wheelbarrow that moves itself.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I bet it's hard to push when it breaks down.

 

[SkwerI]

Yeah Butch, chainsaws are hard to push through the wood when they break down also.

 

[RIVERRAT]

Only weighs 200 lbs. Purchase price around 2300.

 

[Al Smith]

Well yes and no .Not exactly like that one but motorized just the same .

The lady next door who had a bunch of riding mules hauled the horse chit or rather mule dung in one of them .It scooted right along .

Bless her heart she moved back to Mt. Vernon Ohio,her home town and mine where she has a riding acadamy for equestrian therapy for disabled children .Good for her .

 

[RIVERRAT]

The thing I like most about it is the price. Thing I dislike, it does'nt pick up the load

Jeff, Don in Shawnee uses what I call a georgia buggy basically what your looking at but a little different. He has been using them for many years.

A Georgia buggy is most usualy used as maens of fowarding concrete .Been around since Shep was a pup .

No sh#t, don't mean they can't be used for other things....:what: Think outside the box....

Found a pic of the one I saw the PG&E guys had.. They use it for moving transformers up steep hills to the poles. Will climb quite the slope.

We have several mucktrucks at work. Our rootcare division uses them for hauling mulch and dirt. Our stump grinding crew also uses one for hauling out grindings. Ive never used one personally but I know everyone who does, loves them.

I prefer the swinger.

 

[RIVERRAT]

I have to get some thing that will pack a load. I think it would be best if it would lift at least 300-500 lbs.

 

[RIVERRAT]

I am leary of the cost of replacing the tracks.
Whats a good used mini selling for?

 

[DTW902]

If you get time Jeff stop and talk with Don. They haul and drag some big stuff with his.

When I bought mine I paid 4 grand for it, When I sold it, I got 4 grand for it.

Well now you cant beet that!

 

[DTW902]

You missed out on some deals Jeff. Dave/tntree had some good deals on used mini's. Andy got his from Dave....

 

[RIVERRAT]

Yes I am missing clients & a whole slew of other things.
Not to mention, I'm at present to poor to pay attention.

 

[Al Smith]

You'll recover .When the going gets tough the tough get going .

You no what Al the whole thing has made me much more appreciative of every thing & I did learn one other thing..... I DONT JAIL WELL

 

[Al Smith]

I don't think anybody would Jeff .Blow it off ,it's over with .That that doesn't kill us makes us stronger .

Talk to Dave (TNTtree) he may have some used units in stock.

THey have a forklift attachment for the Muck Truck.

I'd rather spend that money (and a little more) on Dave's Grapple and Rake.
