Yes, I would be very tempted to change my 3.5T Iveco tipper to the 6.5 or 7.5T eqivalent.

DVSA will need to take a good hard look at the restricted Olicense criteria before anything else changes or there will be tens of thousands of guys out there unable to go to work, if they could cut the 7.5 ton and under red tape most builders/ tree surgeon's would go for a bigger truck and run legal.

My Reynolds Boughton RB44/66 (twin rear wheel) tipper went to a new home on a sheep farm in the Falklands. Wish I had kept it now!

That looks a beast of a truck. I bet it will run forever.

What would we do with all.the 3.5 t tippers if this went ahead? Would prices plummet?

Scrap them, they are not fit for purpose, all they have ever been is a get around the system truck. Put an arb body on a 3.5 ton truck,fill it with fuel, put the tools on, hang a chipper up its arse ,put three muckers in the front and its fully loaded. At best you may get away with chucking some hedge cuttings in the back.
