The biggest drawback I see with the tipper bodies (besides cost) is that they tend not to look great.

I'm in a similiar situation and was half thinking of single cab 4wd and small crane.

Being as you are (i guess) a farmer......I would think that you have a choice of vauxhall or land rover...what with buying british and all that.....

 

Nowt wrong with the brava, as long as its the isuzu engine pmsl and you can weld.

nowt wrong with the brava, just remember when the ladder rack starts tapping the cab when you have a load in its ebay time. i would have kept mine forever if i could have found a galvy chassis for it, there was more repairs than original chassis, got years of hard use out of it and still sold it for more than i paid. cabstar is a good choice if you put 4x4 tyres on to help with the one wet leaf that will show its weakness.

fine if you want to be stuck just after a speedbump with a broken chassis:lol:, i passed mine on to the next guy and hopefully he was a bit gentler on the old girl, the isuzu engine and running gear is pretty bombproof just let down by a weak rotten chassis. vauxhall were very clever when they took the front end of the brava, added a rear body and called it a FRONTera, i was also running one of them at the same time and it was nice as everything was the same under the front.
