One for sale on the ebay... And there was a timberwolf on a landrover a few years back.

Beat me to it Stevie.

 

Less capacity, but so much more useable.

 

If your Ifor trailer is any good the costs would be nowt.

Would go with above. Purely on wouldn't he chipper be at a high height for loading it, with brush?

I looked into this and there is a thread on it already. When I find it I will send the thread to you.

Could you not just put a Tow Ball in the front of the L200?Might be a bit tricky on round a bouts but at least you'd get all of it to the job?

😄😄 brilliant!

 

Or put a tow ball on the back of the trailer and tow chipper behind that.

 

In reality though, no body has asked why you didn't think of this first?!

Anyway, I'd flog the L200 and get a 3.5t tipper van and in the mean time give clients incentives to keep the chips ie: saving money. You save on labour so you still make your profit as you get to the next job sooner.

I have a Protipper (made by peter), by far the best and most useful piece of kit i have ever bought!!!!!

by the time you chop your L200 about, you'll have spent enough money to have got yourself a nice little cabstar tipper on ebay and given it a spray up...
