That's good to know. I deliver a lot of firewood and often wondered how close to the limit I am. I'll pop in next time I have a load on. Cheers.

We have a 110 landy tipper with Ally box and a full load + chipper is too much even with 130 springs and helper springs.

Have decided to keep landy- get shot of Nivara, although never let me down and buy a tipper trailer with mesh sides.

Little van can tow chipper and then landy with or without trailer to be flexible.

Avoids some excessive 4x4 tax, and maybe gets around the weight problem.

Have been head scratching about it for ages now.

The police must know the predicament we all are in and surely don't pull on minor overloads.

Getting really hacked off with regs on everything in this country tho.

Surely the model/ perfect/ by the book arb company is an arb company carrying massive costs, not to mention administration.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. I think it would depend on what performance target they need to hit when they pull you, plus the personality of the officers involved.
