What machinery is best to move stuff on a slope

Our local supplier has the pump set to cut out at 99 litres to check if you have a registration card in their files. It'll be interesting to see how it develops as they are in an area with a lot of off grid dwellers and so have good reason to keep supplying duty rebated 🙂

Ours is the same too, anything over 99L you have to give details. I'd prefer having to register to use any volume of red. Levels the playing field

Depends if its only on your site or needs to be road legal. If not road legal get a MOT failure such as discovery diesel, some off road tyres, bash it up, enjoy and run on red diesel.

Completely on-site use.  Anything with "Rover" in it seems expensive.  Any other makes?  Toyota has a good reputation ( tool of choice for ISIS :D) Jimny gets a mention on some of the farming Facebook groups? Even the Fiat Panda 4x4 gets a mention; might be a bit stumped by the hills though.

 

What do you think about ATV/quad bikes?  Can they tow small trailers?  We just need to move a small amount of wood every now and then, tools, not much else.  I'd prefer something with a roof/roll-bar but if they will do the job, maybe worth looking at?

All sorted; Suzuki Jimny uprated by an off-roading mechanic. Uprated engine, 2 inch lifts, nobblies, chopped "pickup" format and extra roll-bars.  Petrol, unfortunately, but only going round the farm so mileage not an issue.  Handles all but the steepest slopes.

 

Thanks for all the help. :)
