New Arb Truck

[Essex arborist]

Time has come to invest in a new truck and sell my Unimog & Schiessling chipper.

 

Thinking of a Landrover 130 with fixed tool box and custom built tip body - any ideas where I can get a decent job.

 

Thinking of Foleys - Harlow & another in Cambridge but can't think of their name right now.

 

Pros & Cons of landy Arb truck?

Dont know about the tipper, but for the 130 in general

Pro's Its a landy so will go just about anywhere you will want it to go, And its a going to look bloody amazing once dirtied up, because its a Landy.

 

Con's Its a landy so will cost a fortune to buy and run, so basically its a Landy.

Why do you say it'll cost a lot to run?

The Cambridge company have quoted £34k plus vat for fully kitted landy.

generally thirstier and higher tax than compared to say a transit. but if its a straight replacement for a unimog I couldn't say as I've not got any experience with them.

No the Unimogs got to go to finance replacing our smaller isuzu truck which has been written off, sadly.

Is the mog and chipper on the open market for sale? (out of interest)

[felixthelogchopper]

Have you tried Lovett's near Wendens Ambo, just outside Saffron Walden. The guy you bought the Mog from has one of their tipper conversions, I believe.
