Cabstar with LSD

Recommended Posts

Hi thinking of replacing my transit for a cabstar and was wondering if anyone uses one with the limited slip diff. Is it any good just wondering if it would make getting to yard better in winter. My transit does it fine with the right tyres and i don't want to make the mistake in replacing if its no good at helping with the traction.

I have had a few Cabstars over the last 20 years or so. One thing about them is they are particularly crap on anything slippy.

I do have to point out that I am a farmer and expect to go down the fields in them, not really what they were designed for.

I have not had one with an LSD but often wondered if the diff out of a Terrano would be a good idea.

 

Do the newer models come with an LSD option then?

why not think of a landy or pickup tipper?

small load space, but great for domestic work.

because you have good 4x4, you can tip in muddy fields, stables, nature reserves, etc.

mines been good. I tow a chipper and my colleague has a 90 and trailer.

can probably legally hold as much as a transit or cab star.:thumbup1:
