The vehicle shown in message 1 in this thread is VERY common on building sites and similar in Britain. It is usually used to carry ordinary excavated earth and miscellaneous items, and the only serious smell is from its diesel exhaust pipe. Earlier models were very basic and reliable, with a simple handcranked Lister diesel engine and no electrics to go wrong. The engine RPM was slow and it went phut phut phut rather than brrrrrrrrrm. It has a towing eye on the rear. Once I saw one with a pneumatic drill (USA: jackhammer) and air hose in its skip and towing an air compressor.
