Hi, guys, as usually it’s me, just an offscreen voice and you are watching review machines!
And again we have for a review a mini dumper, probably you’ve already seen some of them
on our channel.
So we made a video about hydraulic dumper and now decided to make one about its mechanical
version which is much chipper.
These machines are designed for transportation different cargoes in tough conditions, they
are rather popular both at private households and in business.
One of the most important advantages of this dumper is offroad moving.
Sometime it makes this machine indispensable.
The most popular example is a building yard full of mud where it is impossible to use
hand barrows and besides there is not enough space for big machines.
The dumper is equipped with petrol engine Briggs Stratton 5,5 hp.
There is a mechanical transmission and four wheel drive.
Loading capacity is about 600 pounds and the weight of the machine is 300 pounds.
Maximum speed is 4 miles per hour like a fast walking.
It is a rather compact machine it is easily may be used it tight space and it is capable
to go through doors which is important.
Ground clearance is decent and allows to move on a rough terrain,
The cargo body seems to be very durable it Is made of stout steel.
The weight of the body is so balanced that it is very easy to unload it.
There are big and aggressive offroad wheels.
The engine 160 cc is a very popular among garden machines and has a good reputation.
Control is very simple, there are two levers on the left handle one of them is a brake
and another is a clutch.
To start moving you have just to push both levers.
At the right handle there is a throttle and a lever to unlock the body.
Big red button to stop the machine immediately, and a handle to change gears.
There are four forward gears, neutral and reverse.
There is an easy start system and it’s really easy to start the engine even in winter.
We didn’t have any other cargo to test the dumper than heavy wheels.
It is of course far from maximum loading weight, but I think enough to make some simple tests.
And this cargo didn’t affect the machine at all, it was moving as if it was empty.
Speed is like fast walking, and if it was faster it would be difficult to keep pace
with the machine.
When we were testing the hydraulic version of the dumper we towed a car with it, so the
towing power is impressive!
And it is really good, in this way the machine may be successfully used for towing different
objects.
Then we decided to do more difficult test and moved to a deep snow to see how the dumper
can handle it.
And as you see it isn’t a problem at all!
Four wheel drive, ground clearance and aggressive tires make this machine quite effective in
a deep snow.
By the way, the depth at that place was about 20 inches.
It was rather interesting to follow the dumper, it was hard to walk in the snow, but it dragged
me like a husky.
There are no doubts that this dumper will be very useful if you need to carry some cargo
in such conditions.
Actually there are no other variants.
Big machines can’t work in tight space, and it will be almost impossible to carry
some cargo on your own.
Then we put some heavy wheels to see how it moves under load, but it again didn’t affect
at all.
It seemed that the dumper worked even better maybe because with some load the wheels got
more connection with the ground.
Well another interesting feature – you can easily take off the body.
Instead of a body you can install a flat platform for example.
A standard body usually is used for bulk cargo.
Also there is a snow plough.
Then there are additional sides for the body to increase its capacity.
And again the flat platform for transportation some big cargo which couldn’t be put into
a standard body.
And there is a hitch to tow objects.
Another feature the flat platform may be used to install some additional heavy equipment,
a big generator or pump for example.
In this way a generator turns into a self propelled machine.
And as you can see we shoot this video in winter so let’s see how the dumper can work
with a snow plough.
You may adjust the height and angle of the plough.
We tested the snow plough with an empty body that is why it was rather tough to move the
snow.
It is recommended to use a snow plough with a loaded body but nevertheless we managed
to clean some snow as you can see.
Then the ground should be quite plain, otherwise a plough may graze hummocks and it will be
very difficult to clean snow.
In this way I think this dumper may be used for snow removing but if the snow is not very
deep or heavy.
Well lets sum up our review.
You know I’ve realized just now that I haven’t told you what the name of the model is.
Sorry about that – its ANT BY250.
I think it is quite cheap and effective machine that may be very useful in certain conditions.
Especially if you need to transport cargoes on a rough terrain and tight places.
Well I hope you liked my review, thanks for watching, please consider subscribing, it
will be many more interesting materials, good bye!
