I love the idea of one on tracks ...The MT-50 is a track machine. Years ago (at least 20) I rented something similar to what digin is describing ..Cant remember the name brand of the thing ... had a little seat, one back wheel and a steering wheel. It would turn on a dime and carry 1/4 -1/2 yd of material. I think it was called a bundle buggy.

I'm not sure I could make one with tracks and like I said we only have a spare 3.5 hp Honda that I could use.
And yes Jeff ...don't want anything girly lol .. it's got to be able to hold some weight.
Here is another one from grillo

I have used the concrete buggies before. Much better than hauling concrete in wb's. Kinda like the Scoot Crete picture Stonehenge posted. They were fun to have races with as well (well, there wasn't anything else to do at that time while waiting for the crete to cure )

I remember using a machine call a Georgia Buggy. I think it was probably the same thing as a concrete buggy. Looked like a mini dump truck. Held about a yard of material and had 4 wheels. Wasn't very big in overall size but it sure beat slugging a wheelbarrow.

I know a rep in the WI area that has a motorized w/b that is a cross between the one that Dan shows with the tank tracking, but has a large dumper like the one S. H. shows in his pic. If anyone is interested, I can try to get ahold of the rep for some literature on his equipment or maybe get a picture to post. I think the one I saw hauled about 1/2 a cubic yard of material. But the sides didn't colapse on the model I saw at the Milwaukee Con Ex Show. I don't know if that is a possible option or not. Let me know. Tim

I'll get right on it. I've got to get with a Distributor up there to find out the rep's contact info. I'll have it for you ASAP. Tim

Update on my search: millerspreader.com does have a tracked dumper like the one S.H.'s picture shows, but it costs around $14,000. I talked with the VP of marketing there, and he reffered me to canycomsales.com . I took a look, and they do have something similar to what Dan posted. The product is distributed out of Blaine, WA, and made in Japan I think. I will get the contact info by email in about a week, if anyone wants that one. I am still currently the one I previously mentioned. Tim
