Volvo ,peljob ed 750 1 t dumper

[tomlad]

As title anyone any knowledge before i buy one ??
Been hiring a 1t high tip , hydro , and finding it amazingly useful. Then spotted this peljob for sale....... the pel has gears , clutch apparently. Hire one badged ' lifton ' is forward, reverse stalk are throttle, hydrostatic. Oil motor on each hub .
1 for sale i believe is more standard transmission.

Not a bad little bus, just check it isn't completely worn out like the pivot bushes etc.

Check the gearbox isn't noisy and selects gears ok, should be a 3 speed + reverse, I can guarantee the gearbox oil will have water in it unless recently changed.
They're just a bog standard newage box but parts are dear.

The borrowed one is very loose in all pins .

Dude says 3 + 1 which surprised me as i presumed hydro thinking all dumpers will be same but different badge, obviously not .
2001 on badge
£3200 ? Says all new tyres. Not viewed yet.

Money sounds about right.

You'll not get a high tip dumper for any less that's for sure.

Didn't know i NEEDED one until i played with the hydro one . Other day .

Around fishery gravel for paths , move logs un gear ..... had a joy ride and surprised were it would fit , but i don't think thats forsale, here onhire for few days .
super facebook showing one that is available. ....

Will tip logs into ibc also.
Hydro one very easy to drive , as i say i thought all same..

Are parts still available,,only ones I've seen are in need of a alot of tlc , clutches have had some hammer and often well worn .
I hired a Thwaits hydro few years ago, so easy to use

 

[nick...]

I’d walk away from it.the clutches get abused like you would not beleive and centre pivots are pretty much allways knackered,as are steering ram bushes.I’ve used them and when you stop and put your foot on the brake it can be like being in a boat on rough sea.

This lifton hydro is very worn in all bushes
And concrete reinforced.
Lifton on hire - borrow . Just asked him might be forsale in a bit ..might not.
Pell is forsale . Tyres look skinny.

Pins all tight enough, basically ok , not really feeling it . In my mind 2 ,5 k his lowest is 3k .
Another 1 local listed as new clutch installed 3.3 k . Dealer.

Cant tell much by the pictures ,,oil leaks could have been washed of before the pictures were taken .
if its had a new clutch ,it should be ok for along time ,,not like you'll be hammering it if its on light duties

If you do buy it get a set of thwaites 1ton dumper tyres fitted ! I think it’s the same studs you just need a washer to miss the mudguard ! It’ll make it much more stable

 

[tomlad]

The dude today had upgraded to newer dumper .it had wider tyres about 9" , same as on hydra model sat in my yard . Hire one .
We reconded they'd fit the pell. If that makes sense.

3k for ones old enough to be gears and clutch no thanks. Take the jump forward to a neuson 1001 for not much more than a grand more. If you have any distance to travel the neusons are twice as quick as the older hydro liftons (don't know if clutch versions are same speed).
Also neusons have a park brake which works.

Nah, buy it blind then post on here…..

I'd leave the Pel Job where it is - go Hydrostatic - definitely worth going the extra - you won't look back
