Welcome to the forum Dave.

The Vario 870 is a brute of a model, I have one as a JD850 version for 4yrs now & have loved every minute of it with its awesome power & long reach. It'll fill a Tamiya dump trk in 4 to 5 scoops. The only downside is its 80lbs weight to pack it around.

An aussie member on our forum has ordered the Sandmaster dump trk, I would think he would have it in his hands by month's end to share his thoughts of it with us then.

Hi Dave,

Welcome.... what part of the UK are you from?

Like Jo says the 870 is a mega machine, possibly the strongest out there. But with that comes a lot of weight. Its also a very big machine, but that said, it will match the new Servonaut dumper very well.

I'm off over to Germany end of this month to Friedrichshafen, a big German fair to meet with Frank ( fumotec ) and also will take some pictures of the Dumper.
