220hp Urban tractor units are a bit of a stunned slug, what are you going to pull with it? Got an FL220 for dragging our Arb boat about which is only about twelve tons all up inc the trailer and that I would say is on its limit.

Looking at a max towed weight of 4T from a drawbar, sort brakes etc and fab up a small flat bed body. It definitely won’t be working anywhere near its gtw.

It will breeze that , small flat bed will make that a useful wagon with a high payload. I chopped the back of mine about for towing heavy trailers, inc a nato hitch (stump grinder) and an adjustable drop plate.
