Best legal vehicle combination

[roseyweb]

I can get 600kg in my transit crew cab legally with just me

which is about a medium apple tree

 

I haven't weighed it with all staff as well theres three of them and some of them are well fed

Just looking for a realistic vehicle + trailer (chipper) combination for domestic clients within the 3,5t limit. A chipper is about 750kg, so that leaves me with 2750kg for vehicle (incl. equipment, 2 people and load of woodchips/logs).

Althought the options of having the chipper mounted on the back and tow a trailer mentioned earlier sounds like a good option too. Going to have a look into that.

If you're towing the 750kg with a 3.5 vehicle you get 4.25 total. The chipper weight doesn't come into the vehicles weight capacity

Ah right. Someone told me it was the the weight of the vehicle including the weight of you're towing.

This makes it a lot easier :-)

I think a trannie has a 6000kg train weight

This may be the case for the driver's licence if the test was taken after 1997 and the trailer weighs more than 750kg. In fact it is slightly more complicated as the mam of the towing vehicle plus the mam of the trailer must sum to less than 3500kg so even if the actual weights may sum to less than 3500 the combo may be unlawful for the licence.

Although this has been done to death....

 

IMO the most simple and versatile combo is.

 

A tipping 3.5t, not a crew cab, full length back for increased carrying.

 

1 chipper 750kg or perhaps a bit heavier towed behind another vehicle, could be 4wd or a smaller escort size van for the tools and extra staff.

 

Sure you can go really big, mogs, lorries etc.

 

But that combo will serve well for most domestic work.

I sent your comment to the VIZ comic question and answers page.

Here is their reply:

In fact, this subject is much like questioning and trying to get around the German beer purity laws.

Yes, you can make artisanal beer out of weird herbs and cast off socks if needs be but at the end of the day, 500years of tradition has proved hops, water and barley to be the best combination.

I like that!

 

It's all been done before, rarely, very rarely, are there ever any genuinely new and innovative solutions - you just got to find what suits the task in hand (and consider the future!)

 

What people are doing is what's best, otherwise they'd be doing something else....

[dan494]

I think it's called best practice. If alot of people are doing things a certain way its probably the way to go
