haha, good haulage rates if you want a net of logs, pint of milk and a paper. No, i'm not mocking the smarts, good little motors. We got a little hyundai getz, brilliant little run around and has been known to come to work more than once.

[Lee Winger]

Its a 2 wheel drive Ford, can't remember the model (1986/87). Trying to remember now, but I think we thought their was about 8 tons on there. The guy made that timber trailer out of an arctic lorry trailer.

I picked up a 2001 LDV tipper with 100k, full arb conversion including roller shutter tool compartment, taxed and moted for a year and change from £1000. Not the prettist thing nor the nicest to drive but drives spot on and a bargain for the price paid. Just keep an eye on eBay

Some people seem to have this idea of working up through vehicles until they get to their ideal motor. If you can afford it get it to start with

 

100 per cent right

get a transit tipper that is within your budget - always check that the back tips up to its full potential
