You may not see the point, but everyone's setup needs to suit their workload : type of work, if alkt of your work is smaller scale or chip on site etc I can totally see the appeal of the hilux above, as he said it doubles up as a family vehicle too plus giving off-road ability, both of which a transit would not be able to do.

I just cannot see the point in such a tiny chip box.

Ruined a perfectly good pick up for the price of a transit tipper.

 

Loads of places to offload chip around here Mick so a few trips with a small chip box is no problem. Plus our rural lanes can be very narrow making a small truck a boon. Just gone from a Dmax to an old Hilux which is a few inches narrower. Makes life one hell of lot easier.

You live in Devon not Hobbiton.

 

What's that carry? (Alex's pick up) Less than 2 cube?

 

Any six inch chipper will fill that in 10 minutes. A standard takedown, including wood removal will involve countless trips which will mean one guy wasting all day behind a wheel.

 

I had a LR 130 tipper and (reliability aside) as a main chip truck they're a waste of time.

Mick my chip box holds 4 cube and can get my truck closer to any trees than any other vehicle and up driveways your big transit couldn't even get up, the roads and lanes are very tight up and around the moors. Most woodchip and wood nearly always stay on site if not then the local farms and schools will always take so not really ever been an issue for me and my perfectly ruined little truck.

Sounds good.

I use to have the pleasure (if you can call it that) of trimming a bright green tall conifer on the front lawn of the house 2 doors up from where you are, nightmare to reach the top of it and the customer had to make sure the point was just right! Fortunately don't do hedges any more. :thumbup1:
