Some translation help needed We need to hire a JCB type 2.5 ton excavator digger.
Just wondered what the French translation for this would be.
mini pelle?
Mini-pelle if it’s the type on tracks, tracto-pelle if it’s tractor based 
Or even a pelleteuse mini or maxi
Just a shovel. Confusing, isn’t it?
But it can be quite costly delivering a digger to your site, so if you see someone working locally or know a farmer who has one, you might be able to negotiate a mutually advantageous deal.
