Hello all,

 

Me and my mate are looking to sell logs and we were wondering what vehicle would be best for the delivery side of things. Should we get a vehicle with good towing capability or should we buy a small truck.

 

Give me your thoughts,,

 

Regards

Depends what other use the vehicle will get, My set up is a 4x4 van and an Ifor tipper trailer as most of my work is subbying so tool security is what counts along with accessing work sites. The firewood side is incidental so a tipper trailer is ideal for collecting and delivering. It suits me but your needs are probably different. :001_smile:

3.0L Trooper Commercial. Some people give them a wide berth but with FSH and the recalls done they're a good wagon. Mine's old enough that I'm happy using it in the woods without worrying about the bodywork. :001_smile:

I have had a couple of 3.0 troopers, brilliant trucks if the recalls have been done and you look after it. If you use bulk bags rather than cubic meter bags I'd have thought you could easily get one in the back of a trooper commercial. This would be handy as it is depressing and eats into the profit having to get out and put away a trailer for 1 bag! I know, because that's what I have to do at the moment.

i would keep the trooper, get a 10x5 ifor Williams, ideally tipper, but i have hardly ever done tipped loads so it's not essential in my mind. If the funds and space allow I would also add a cage sided ifor Williams p6e for tight access/ single bag deliveries. My one is my most used log delivery method.
