Just thinking, that truck should weigh around 2300 as a standard tipper with no kit or gready boards.

 

Cant figure where another ton has come from:confused1:

 

thats what i thought,but the tipper is very heavy duty tho,about 500kg !

Most tree trucks I see are overloaded, and a lot of them are doing veg clearance stuff for highways!

 

I can overload my Transit in less than half an hour with my diddy little TW125.

 

Might get a bigger chipper so I can get pulled earlier!

 

Mind you, the dids round here seem to be able to run around with an 8' high stack of scrap on their vehicles with no worries....:sneaky2:

3340kg,no saws,no staff !!!:thumbdown:

 

How on earth does it weigh that much!?:confused1:

 

I know a transit/ldv crewcab weighs around 2600kg, I woulda guessed yours as a chassis cab wouldnt be any heavier than 2100kg.

 

Legally your truck is useless:laugh1::001_tongue:

We use a crewcab transit. With saws climbing kit and the general day to day stuff it weighs in at 2750. That's without the chubby driver (me!!). I probably tip it over the 3.5 tonne limit just getting in it:lol::lol:
