I could use that little 1.5 yard cement mixer truck but then I'd have to build a batch plant because the nearest one to me is 70 miles away
Having that would be like having a self-propelled home concrete mixer. Not going to do that to my little Mini anytime soon. It's too much fun to drive!
I can't imagine those conversions could be really practical, since the bulk of the total weight is on the rear tires and the Mini is front wheel driven!
yep but you could always ditch the drive train for a rear tandem drive set upQuote:

OH look it is a puppy LOL.
Above anything else those mini conversions are just plain cute. And I've seen places where something in that size range would be ideal for the situation
What’s Mack about that vehicle?
The horns?
Very cute but not a great application for front wheel drive?
Is that a Mini front end?
I think it is?
The most important Mack feature on that little truck would be the bulldog on the hood!
In fact, the only obvious difference between the 'Mack' dump truck and the 'Mack' cement trucks running gear is the color and the location of the fuel cap. Other than that, they appear to be identical..
It's a mascot for a company that sells and services Mack trucks...
