What I found is my transit with tow behind many years ago, couldn’t reverse up steep driveways and was underpowered for the drive home as a lot of the towns I worked in were on the coast. Also my chip sites were limited to clean hard standing.
A lorry was too big, even a 7.5tonner and I was still stuck with where to put chip.
A Mog was compact and narrow, in the cases of poor driveway access many a time there would be a field, park or no mans land behind the house so I could drive in that way.
I think it’s perfect for the owner operator, within a big company their benefits as a Swiss Army knife are not as high because you can swamp a job with labour if you need to.

I think your line of work warrents a mog, my truck is rubbish on hills. I've never dared to do Rockingham hill near me in corby with a full load and bandit on the back

Me too, seen a nice 4x4 merc for sale recently. Only thing they can't do is run a PTO chipper.

You could tow a decent chipper, on air brakes

You can if you interrupt the prop to the back axle and fit a pto splitter. Its all done with one lever that disconnects drive to the back axle and transfers power to the upper flange ( to the pto).

 

Just happen to have a new one lurking in one of the containers

That's a great idea! Really simple too. Are we going to see an aspen arb blue truck with a chipper soon?
