If you’re concerned about staying legal you should probably steer clear of a crew cab as you’ll be fighting a losing battle. By the time you’ve put an arb body on you’ll be lucky to get a cube of wood chip on legally

Just to add, payload isn’t really the biggest issue, weight distribution is what will catch you out

Out of the 3 do u know the best payload 

[Steve Bullman]

I don’t sorry

It doesn’t matter. It’ll be the difference between 150kg of chip and 225kg of chip.

Used to have a sprinter 316 and that was superb but the wheels didn't look great when fully loaded so was thinking double rear wheels could be better

If you’re concerned about staying legal you should steer clear of any 3.5 tonner.

You are right, but the 3.5t is the most popular truck to use for tree work for little domestic jobs. 

There's a lot of people how just can't go down the HGV route, like myself I get around it by running a couple of ifor williams trailer to take the weight off truck.

I know Paul, that’s why I have one.

 

I’m not bothered about the legality though.

Stupid law outdated by several decades.
