Hi I’m new to the Group my business cover ground clearance/ground works. 
 

just thought I’d be nosey and see what you guys tow all of your equipment around with? I have a 3.2 Ford ranger wildtrak what I can’t fault as it always has our 2.7t bobcat behind it with a plant trailer or a ifor Williams tri axle flat bed.

I have the same ifor plant trailer as you and take our e27 around with it behind a 2007 ranger with tuning chip and airbags or an Iveco daily tipper. 
 

got an ifor beaver tail too which also goes beautifully but the ramps and props are such a pain compared to the dedicated plant trailer.

First post with company name and number all over it, we both should have given it a swerve?

100% it’s a pain with the flat bed getting ramps and props out but it tows a lot nicer than my plant trailer believe it or not haha

Old landrovers for me. A 110 hicap, and a 300tdi Disco. Nothing fancy about them and often wish for more power. But being able to shunt around the steep lanes around here with 2.8 ton digger, it’s handy having a low box you can use on tarmac.

 

If I know I'm going somewhere where I might need to shunt a lot on tarmac, I sometimes pop the bonnet and pull the RFW solenoid wires on the Ranger. This prevents it from engaging the front diff when you select Low.

 

One day I might make an in cab relay for it.
