These are two mystery tractors which if we can determine the make, I'll change the title! Anyone have an idea what these are? I could not get closer because I took these photo's through a fence while on vacation...

Looks like, to me, they both have the dumpster in the front. See the steering wheel sticking up over the hopper on the green one also. |

I believe they also make much larger versions of this same type of machine. Something that looked large enough to be driven on the roads but configured like the one in the second picture. Backwards dump trucks. |

I don't think they are that old. Certainly not from the 40's or even mid 50's. I would be tend to call them Trucks rather than tractors. I have seen similar along with motorized hoppers and wheelborrows used on construction sites here in the states. |

Richard, yes the seat points towards the hopper. Dave, the county is Italy, the sticker on the yellow tractor is below. I thought they were interesting looking also. They have a number of hydraulic lines and look fairly strong. They look like older models.

Michael. I believe you will find they are of European origin. When I visited England in the mid eighties they had lots of self propelled dumpers like those and we saw them everywhere from building sites to small scale road repair jobs. Can't put a name to either of those machines. Where did you see them? Dave |

Does that 2nd one have the seat and the steering wheel so the operator is facing the hopper? It looks kind of like a forklift. |

Congratulations, you've got me stumped! Whatever they are either of them would be welcome here on the ranch. |

They both look like something from the 40's or earlier. What country were you in??? It looks like an English imagination at work there. I've got some books here with pictures of Model A era trucks that have an articulating dump body something like #2. |
