Isuzu Grafter

[benedmonds]

Anyone any experience with the new grafters. I am very fond of the old 3l models. 

They pull like trains as demonstrated by one of our guys who managed to drag the bc230 XL with the hand brake on, leading to bursting both tyres..

"I thought we just had a heavy load on?"

But can the new EU6 which I believe is a 1.9 diesel really do the job?

We use one at a firm I work for and they pull really well turning circle is brilliant but gearbox is so clunky, ours is 3.0litre euro 6

Collected my grafter last month. It's the 1.9 and I was a little unsure how it would compare to the 3.0 cabstar but turns out nothing to worry about. I honestly think it pulls better.

 

I only run a sub 750 chipper, personally I don't think it's up to the allowed 3.5 tonne towing so if you have a big chipper over 1.5 - 2 tonne go for the bigger engine.

 

Cabstar for sale at the end of Jan. Pm for details.

If you want it to pull heavier, a re map may be in order
