Not quite.

 

You could have a trailer & car combo that has a total gross train weight of less than 3500kg as long as the trailer loaded weighs less than 50% of the tow car unloaded.

 

So a car that has a kerb weight of 2000kg (and a gross plated weight of under 2500kg) can tow a trailer with a plated weight of 1000kg all on a post 97 non trailer car licence.

 

 

 

Then I will re phrase

 

When you pass you will be able to drive a vehicle of 3500kg and WITH IT tow a maximum of 750kg

 

The vehicle combination you cite is not commonly available and in tree work at least not what you would call practical.

The commonly available vehicles and chippers mean a transit or similar and a sub 750kg chipper, otherwise known as the pencil sharpener club.

So once I get driving liscense what would you recommend I get for tree work?

What’s your budget?

 

Are you going to be employed or self employed?

 

The standard combo for tree surgeons seems to be a 3500kg tipper and a towed chipper. You can get chippers that are under the 750kg that will be your trailer allowance.

The B+E would be the best option at least that will allow you to tow a trailer of any weight behind a van
