The Clayton Buggy was developed by http://www.eaclayton.com/ Eric and son Ian Clayton, i used to work on the farm during harvest many years ago, the prototype was based on dumper axles and a Diahatsu fortrack engine gearbox and transfer box and is now owned by a nearby farmer.
Apparantly JCB showed much interest in the Buggi, this was just before they developed the Fastrac

Re: Multidrive - Another David J Brown company
On the Agg-net.com website I came across a 2002 article from Quarry Management Journal about the Multidrive M8-35 on trial at Kier Mining's Gasswater OCC'S.

Also the old Multidrive website is still live at http://www.multidrivevehicles.com/ I've managed to download the brochure for the M8-40

Re: Multidrive - Another David J Brown company
Thanks IBH
Think the M8 article is a reprint of one we saw before.
But that Multidrive web sites a different version from before from what i remember but it has a date of 2006 so not 100 % sure.
