What can I tow on a cat B licence?

[Justme]

Do you actually need C & or CE?

 

Would C1 & C1E cover it?

 

Lots cheaper to get.

Nope.

 

You can tow still on the BE but with any vehicle over 3500kg you can only tow 750kg plated trailers.

Oh that's a massive PITA. Looking at a 5t plated 6x6 Sprinter and the prospect of having to site a C1 + E isn't filling me with joy. 

 

The daft thing is that the last few weeks I've been on the road in the forestry tractor, sometimes towing 10t behind me!

J just do your class 1, covers all your bases and needs. Your a man to push boundaries and create opportunities for yourself, can see that from all your threads. You’ll make use of it for defo [emoji106]

Can I jump straight to class one from B + E? 

[Big J]

And if I do, I'm not going to do it in bloody Devon. There is barely a road large enough for a van, let alone an artic! ?

You cant just do your class 1. You have to take C first, then CE.

 

Budget about £2.5-3k

NO

Also a bloody pain. C1 + E it would be then.

[Ratman]

No, be c1 first, then c1+e i think, but can do all in a combined training/test block over a fortnight i thing, justme will prob clarify [emoji106]

[Justme]

But then you cant go straight to C1E either.
