Lifton Dumpers circa 2000

[ianoz]

Well I don't know too much about dumpers ,but i would imagine that there would be no PTO to power a slasher ETC and the hydraulic pump probably would not have the flow or pressure to run a slasher /mower .
Hopefully Mogman will add his input .Him and his mate are pretty good at adapting things for different uses .

Hi scully ianoz promted me to have a look anyway here goes bought a Manitou Buggiscopic a bit ago what a great tool its hydrostatic drive, not a big job to fit a hand throttle and its 4 wheel drive, it has a brake pedal but it doesn't need it as when you shut the revs down it stops it is equiped with 3 hydrauic pumps as well as the drive pump so plenty of auxilary power

Not sure if this would be helpful to you scully or not, but I would expect the visability for the loader is alot better. I'm just not sure how difficult it is to dettach the Loader.

Moffet tractor loaders, I think they where either based on a MF or Ford skid unit, and they retain a 3 point linkage.

Hi Rory , I think Access to the cab could be a problem with that style of machine . It needs to be wheelchair friendly .

There was a machine ,An OZ track i think it was called . Like an oversized Banana splits buggy , Very stable work platform which i am farly sure had 3 pt linkage and pto . I will see if i can chase up info on it .

Welcome aboard Skully,
I heard of a farmer around the town of Adare Co Limerick who suffered a similar injury to yourself, He now has a modified tractor and uses a quad to get around the farm.farmer.JPG

When i was a young bloke down on the gold coast . There was a guy in a wheel chair who drove a cab over international ACCO 8 wheeler . His wife used to lift him up into the cab every morning and off they would go for the day carting out of a Quarry all day .
