Just curious to know what size trailers people are using and for what purpose?

 

I currently use a little 750kg trailer 7x4 for delivering logs etc :thumbup1:

 

We all know 3.5t tippers dont have best.payload so what do you put behind them or the 4x4?

 

Cheers

750kg ifor with high mesh sides, hade it for 9 years, worth its weight in gold and a 3 axle old flatbed, 3.5ton gross, 14ft long bed very useful. Id like an ifor 3.5tonne tipper with a bed as similar in size to my land rovers as possible.

I run a 3.5t tipping Ifor trailer and although you're right about the payload, i prefer tipping off at the end of the day and buggering off home!! It also tows better than any other trailer i've used and is very versatile. When I eventually come to sell it, it'll still be worth good money.

10x5 tipper with high mesh sides towed with disco. mesh have removable ply wood sides so can chip into when required. disco pulls it a treat.

i have a 6x4 trailer, that built by my uncle years ago, he used to make them to order, a guy ordered it, then gave back word after it was made, so me an my dad got it. its really paid for itself. I also use a cheap halfords one, just for small quick loads. Been thinking about getting an old stock trailer, to sort of use as a tow- a -van type of thing, ( if you know what i mean, lol )

Ifor 16ft , what a mistake behind a mk4 hilux:thumbdown:

 

The 10x5 ifor tipper is the best towing trailer I have used. U just dont know its there. Tows well behind our hilux mk 4 I dont use our 16ft ifor as it just takes too much load and its too easy to squeeze 3 tonne on without even heaping.

Currently a 3.5 10x6 Ifor which is a nice size but will soon get an atlas 10x5 tipper I think so I don't have to handball stuff any more! Also the current Ifor is 6.5ft wide which can be a bit wide in these narrow Dartmoor lanes and gateways.

Got both the ifor 85 and 105 tippers, the 85 has lined high sides but once I get high aluminium sides made for the 105 ill sell the smaller trailer both tow well but the bigger trailer is of more use being a 3.5 ton capacity behind the landy and I can fit a greenmech safetrack On it.
