Im looking for my new arbtruck, recent thread - which arb truck would suit me ideas & tips?? -

I want to take all things into consideration,

running cost,

insurance cost,

resale value,

etc,

I based my quotes on a 52 reg veichle,3 years ncb,pass plus,10,000 miles a year, tpf&t, signage, etc i was as honest as possible to get an accurate result,

 

land rover 110 td5 - £1029.00

hilux 250 £1143.00

l200 4 life £1313.00

ranger £1313.00

We use a company called Swintons, based in newcastle, cheapest quotes for truck, chipper and forwarding trailer (and car!), around around £400(£380) fully comp for a Mitsubishi 4 work. No one else came any where near them for prices on anything we had to insure, most were over £1000. for the truck.

Obviously depends on your age and post code, but my 07 plate Ranger is with Direct Line at £577 - last year they charged £640, first time ever I have had a reduction in premium.

Josh, are you just straight out of college or have you experience in tree work?? If you've done a few years, you should know the answers to these questions pal.

 

You don't need to analyse every single thing on a truck or chipper or any machine for that matter.

 

If a Landy is the cheapest to insure, buy the best one you can afford and start putting it to work mate 😃
