We sold our 7.5 Cargo and our old Transit about 6 months ago and now run this 6.3 canter. If you are on the look out for a truck that is easy to fit on tight driveways but can carry and pull a shed load of chip then i would strongly recommend a Canter but as they say 'each to their own'.

How often do you need to get that serviced/road checked?

 

I like that

that looks like a good size mate, bigger than transit but smaller than cargo.

 

what size of engine does it have:001_smile:

Notts CC had 2 of those, crew cabs with tool boxes and tippers. Very smart but they can't use them as with 4 men up and toolds the front axle is overweight ! The guy that spec'd them is for the high jump.

The service checks are every 3 months and its a 4 litre .

u1200 unimog with a tp 200 chipper.

narrower than a narrow thing, loads of gears so you can reverse up a mountain. No more snaking about with toe behind chippers. side tip, no more taking off the chipper.

if you think the chipbox is to small get a 1250.

 

Is it true what they say about unimogs: that they can be driven on a normal post 1997 license? I also heard a rumor that they can be run on red diesel, which would help as your unlikely to get above ten mpg.
