[Wolfie]

indeed, but only for the big ones. I hire a 13hp when I have enough smaller ones for a day's grinding.

where do u hire that from i can only get my hands on a little 9 hp to hire and it winds me rite up

[Wolfie]

I've found three places. prices range from £50 to £120 +vat per day. I hire mine from Ridgehire (about £90+vat) as they always send them out with sharp teeth.

In fact that's my green transit on their website - 10th one down.

 

Would it be rude of me to ask for an approximate costing of that? Looks Very Smart.

It wasn't cheap, but it is quality. Without digging out the invoice, it was approx £3100 for body (incl. ram, powerpack, fitting), £400 for the paint job. Plus the VAT it took the total just over £4k. It was fitted to an ex BT truck that I bought as a chassis with only 25K miles on the clock.

In total the whole truck after claiming vat back was £10K but I was sick of buying 7/8 year old vehicles and then spending thousands each year repairing them.

I think transit changed to new generation in 2001/2002 so it should be the last model of the smiley face ones.
