Don't know if I would have the room to fit in a mini digger with the remote slung around my neck though...............

Looks like someone was watching their Kids playing with their toys , and went ,Now there is a New Idea.

Heres a link.http://www.mhwmagazine.co.uk/Remote_...tes-8136.htmlI like the idea in the right situation, imagine me on a mini fill dumper and move soil 50ft from my seat. Or if you could set a pre detirmined route and fill the dumper and then at a press of a button send it on its way

Boys never grow up really do they , but their toys do get larger and more expensive

Gimmick without a doubt, how are you going to see a Rut that will cause your minidumper to roll at 100ft. most I know can't drive a full mucktruck over rough ground without rolling it, And that's walking behind

That looks like a great idea, I know Komatsu is developing a large haul truck system for open-pit mining that is fully automated I'll have to find an article about that.

I think this is the system I saw in my dad's mining engineering magazine.

I agree with the tipping problem .. I think with that wheel base its gonna be on its side more than its wheels
