convo Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 no i have not got a cat dumper to go on the back but that would just be just the job ;) ,this has been done because john and one of his sons chris were so happy with the scanias i did for them .that they wanted a man done in there colours as well ,and the fact that this unit was r/c did not seem to bother them , ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 They have one of the contracts moving the CAT pivot steer dumpers from the factory 'oop narth' to the docks. I was chatting to one of the drivers one day in Southampton docks when I was unloading a Case Puma there. He backed an artic dumper off without hardly a glance in the mirrors. ... as they were folded in! :laugh: Second nature to him I guess. He has an MAN tga XXL. Like the mode (again!), nice to have a brand done as per the real one. Shame the MAN has not been made available without the R/C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convo Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 yes your dead right ,i do hope siku bring out the MAN truck in push along ,because the r/c ones are a bit of a hit to the pocket even at trade cost ,i know new ray and welly do them but they not the same quality, not even in the same league ,but then the siku ones need to be good to justify the price , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 The Newray MAN isn't too bad, it's those hideous plastic wheels they use that really spoil them. I stretched one and made it a 6x2, didn't look too bad really. It's on here somewhere. I'd like to see Siku extend their truck range and trailers to suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
