Timber truck needed

[Squaredy]

Is anyone selling their ag registered 4x4 truck? I need something with a carrying capacity of 4 tons or so, possibly one of the bedfords, but preferably something a bit more up to date and easier to drive. If it has a meaty crane fitted that is great, but if not I will get one fitted. I have maybe £4000 to £6000 to spend. I understand the Layland Daf army trucks are good, but they never seem to be ag registered.

 

I will need it to do road speeds occasionally, so tractors are out. Any offers?

I know it's not quiet the same but. We're selling our Disco in the next few weeks, It's DVLA registered as a forestry vehicle, so no mot needed, free tax & runs on cheery. 3"lift, goes anywhere, the pics flatter it, it's battered & bruised, but it runs well. If that's of any interest to you, drop me a line.

there is a bedford with crane and grab in the classifieds on this site.

Thanks for the replies, I do need a lorry rather than a Land Rover size vehicle, but good luck with selling the disco.

 

I also did spot the bedford advertised in classifieds, but that sold a few weeks ago. I will be selling my old Bedford MK when I find a replacement, but that needs quite a bit of work, and is not ag registered. Will be a great source of parts for someone though. Cab is rotten, engine not the best, but everything still works....

Hi there I have a leyland DAF 4x4 for sale. Not yet registered, so could be registered agricultural. I have all the release papers from the army. Truck located in Somerset

Our insurance is next to nothing, regular car insurance yes. Runs on cherry yeah, being the 300 it will damn near run on anything! But yes, it can legally run on cherry. PM me if you want more info, as I say, It'll be available in a couple of weeks.

 

Very best wishes,

its 16 miles i believe but is different depending on weather its an ag vehicle or tractor

also was the van registered ag or plant that would be the problem if it wasn't

Can I just add, thanks for all the interest in my Disco, it will advertised soon. Anyone interested please PM me not post here as I seem to have hijacked Squardeys thread by mentioning it, sorry mate, hope you find what you're after
