Show me your cages?

Can you slip it off when full to use the 3 way tipper?

I find the 3 way handy on mine when tipping in tight driveways and gateways.

 

And where can you get allie boards like that from? I know what you mean about ply, i'm sure mines going to crack one day and spill chip all over the carriageway.

 

One way tipper here, so no, but you could undo three bolts and slide it out (would be difficult with 2 of them when full of chip).

 

Any decent fabricator would have the ali in stock. Only 3mm.

 

Regarding the HSE and fumes issue - I don't care. I don't like water in my fuel, and I much prefer the smell of 2-stroke to my groundies farts!

Seriously it weighs around 2700 with all gear in and 2-up in the cab. It's frightening how it all adds up!

if it weighs 2700,that give you apayload of 800,

[Mark Bolam]

Yup.

 

I was joking about the 50kg!

 

On bigger jobs it's over a tonne though, because a fair bit of the gear will be on site and only one in the cab.

 

Still a poor payload, TBH.
