Transit or trailer

[Lyn Ed]

Just had my 50th birthday and between age and old rugby injuries i'm starting to think about slowing down a bit and maybe go more into firewood, don't get me wrong I still enjoy the job but in my head i'm 30 but my body tells me otherwise, I know firewood would be seasonal but ive got plenty of contacts for other work if things went a bit slack, anyway the question I want to ask you guys is what do you think would be the best set up for firewood, transit tipper or 4x4 and trailer, i'll be changing my 4x4 shortly anyway, so the choice I would have to make is do I sell my van and chipper or just sell the chipper and keep the van for firewood, what set up do you guys use for firewood delivery.

Appart from getting older how's tricks mate.

Unless you need a 4x4 I'd chop and get a tipper, easier to unload, get about etc also cheaper to run

[Johny Walker]

what about a 4x4 tipper ,as yr in a hilly parts

[Daniel Jiggins]

I use this for delivering logs and a tt85 for double drops.

I have a double cab 4x4 and a tipper trailer that holds twice as much as the truck. I can sell single, double and treble loads and get in and out the woods. Works well for me.
