Apparently the micro equipment and 'Groundcare' markets are growing fast with H&S legislation discouraging work being done by hand.
I did read somewhere that the JCB Groundcare Dumpster's are built/based on Hinowa ( www.hinowa.com ) designs.

Some photos of a Dumpster that was being used at work today, my gaffer let me have a go ofr half an hour. The traction is really good, it was going through wet clay and topsoil with ease, though turning churning things up a lot.
I found it very simple to operate, though the engine created a lot of noise so couldn't hear people calling/shouting very well.

:lol:

Think it needs the optional remote control (RC) pack then you can sit in the office and drive it in comfort :D (and complete safety, .... well to your self ) :idea:

Saw mower recently that was RC driven for use on steep slopes, wount need operators before long just let kids 'drive' them from a PC / Games consul :roll:

QuintQ built several different machines for the MOD including a JCB HME digger. (was in Eathmovers mag IIRC)

You have to stand on the platform and hold on for dear life! :lol: The air conditioning is excellent and on a cold day the exhaust keeps your legs warm.
