Chipbox weights

[benedmonds]

It's interesting what you say about the weights, I never bothered working it out when we did our transits but guessed you wouldn't save much with ali over ply. Our original transit has the same ply back on we put on as a temporary measure when we stared up 4 years ago. Its been resprayed and had a big plastic/ali sign which covers much of the ply, it looks great. It only cost a couple of hundred quid to make and we could do it ourselves so didn't lose any time with the truck out of action.

 

What ever you do is going to mean you can't carry more than a barrow full of chip on a 3.5 tonner any way.

Now there in lies the dilema

 

Find me a truck that:

 

Carries a good payload

 

has low box for reversing chipper up a steep drive and ragging stumps out

 

has 4 wheel drive

 

is narrow enough to get down domestic drives

 

is manouverable enough to get through woodland

 

as decent road speed

 

low enough to hand ball logs on
