towing/carrying weight dilema

[armchairarborist]

sounds like you need a landy tipper and keep the trailer chip box as well for them jobs where you get loads of chip coming away, best of both worlds. economy for the small jobs and good carrying capacity for the bigger ones.

someone said before your better mounting the chipper on the landy and towing a trailer for chip cos you can tow more than you can carry

I've thought about it to, though to be honest it needs to be done better than the one that was at the apf last time.

simplest option - get rid of the 90 buy a 110 or 130 as a tipper or convert it yourself (get someone to do it)

retain the offroad capability.

 

this is what i would do in your situation - or if ihad a second chance at it

 

you wouldnt regret it.

 

when i started the biz i had a 90, so bought a 3.5ton ivor tipper.

then added a chipper as we grew but got fed up of taking and fetching or using other vehicles

 

so took the plunge for the 110 tipper we still have (at the time couldnt bring myself to sell the 90 as i was attached to it as a car)

 

used the 90 and trailer on jobs where the additional capacity was handy

 

then ended up buying a 130 for even more capacity (and seats)

 

the 130 is barge like and overloaded if full so i still prefer the 110.

Theres a gyy done the road from me whos got a 110 tipper with a really nice ally chip box on back which has literly been sitting there for months so much so that the cab is covered in moss might go and have a word with him about a deal!!!

thanks for the advice!!
