Nice truck and very handy indeed for someone doing firewood deliveries during the winter months. I love my 4x4 Sprinter and would recommend them.

That is a nice truck though what would worry me is payload.  My Tranny is 2900 kg with me in it which leaves just 600 kg for your load.  My transit also has a crane but is 2 wheel drive.

If you got money to burn it looks like a beauty ?

Very true. My 4x4 Sprinter van is about 2500kg without me or any tools in it. That one on eBay must be 500kg heavier. 

 

The nice thing with the rear mounted crane is that with a trailer, you could take something like 12 bulk bags out on a single run and easily be able to offload. 4 on the flatbed and 8 on the trailer.

I think thats the best legal way of getting the most out of a 3.5 tonner load wise, a decent trailer behind it. Most payloads on the van itself arent very good after adding a chip box to it.

Crane has not got enough reach to get to middle of good trailer.

I think it's a double extension (2.4m boom) unless I'm mistake. So around 3.6m of reach?

Rear mounted crane means no shared load so all crane weight is on rear axle, very easy to overload, be very surprised if the tare weight is low enough to give a reasonable load.
