Hubby wants one of these in real life, no kidding!
In the US many people own "Bobcats" for smaller jobs on their property, but this rig would be a much better idea for rougher terrain and larger loads.
A fantastic custom....the step by step details were most helpful, Pgal :wave:
After two decades of male toys (esp. Lego and PM) in our house, it is time to build something for us women!

I would love one too, and any oher machine; mini digger dumper etc :P

I've got my own pallet truck that I move engines etc about with, but that's as close as I'll ever get to owning a real forklift truck

Great custom Damo. I love the choice of yellow tone. It looks like the real construction yellow of Cats and Deers.

Trust me, you do not want to own any machine, unless you use one daily/weekly. It is so much easier to rent one for the day and give it back for the rest of the year.
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Thanks, Ras :wave:

True, we usuually hire a digger when we need one as I know they are expencive to keep running what with the hydraulics,oil,diesel etc

Even my pallet truck needs to go in as the hydraulics have sprung a leak, and it's going to cost me an arm and a leg

Besides, I can just play with the machines at work! :P

Great vehicle Damo. If you add a small bonnet to the front of your left over forklift section you can have a dune buggy.

That's a great idea, Tim!

I was wondering what I could do with it now :lol:
