Used to drive a U1900 with a 12"bandit on the front, not a great setup to be honest but.. was thinking of a long term replacement for my van and looking down the 7.5 tonner route till I discovered you now have to do B + E to tow a trailer.... So started thinking of a mog again but a farmer friend of mine thinks that the government are going to scrap red diesel due to the high levels of fraud. Genuine users ie farmers will claim the duty back as part of their tax returns. This will be seriously bad news for mog and chipper owners as i'll bet tree surgeons wont be eligable for the rebate. Anyway if anyone knows anything about this i'm sure they wont be frightened to post it on here.

from my understanding of the revised rules on red deisel and tractors ,the problem is for tree surgery use you will have to run a tractor on white it will have to be taxed and run as an hgv, if you tow a trailer thats class1. I hope i am wrong! I would realy be interested how other people are going to deal with this.
