Peat harvesting was another use that did spring to mind to me for a skimmer, but seemed a bit on the small side to me!!
Yes the WR8 did make me think of bobcats, did Whitlock ever make a prototype mini dinkum digger to put on a Ransomes?
A lot of pics and info seems to be on the net about the agricultural machines but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of info or pics on the industrial versions.
Not at the moment, I have owned a couple in the past, and still have a TS42A plough, so if ones comes along at the right time/price I think I could be tempted!!!
I think even a book compiled from literature on these machines would make just as interesting reading as a proper history on them would
