130 spec

Looking at replacing the Iveco Crew Cab tipper with a Defender 130 Double Cab Pick up.

We don't transport chip all the time, quite often arrisings are dead hedged or chipped & left in situ.
The most important thing is personel & tool transport.

I'm thinking along the lines of getting a tipping trailer to shift chip, logs etc....
Any recommendations?

Would it be worth having the back converted to a tipper?
Or is it just too small?

Are the standard Michelin XZL's worth their salt?

Can it really tow the stated 3500 kg's ?

Also would like to rig with a Winch.
Recommendations?



Appreciate any comments pro or con, as I'm a novice interms of owning/running LandRovers.



Many thanks

David
