About to buy a new 110 tipper!

[timberbear]

After deliberating for several months I'm about to buy a new landrover tipper. I've driven landrover both personal and for work for the last 20yrs. However to buy a brand new one is a big step. I've managed to get a 13plate with 10miles on the clock with a Brit Tipp tipper down from 22k to 19k plus vat put need to do conclude the deal tomorrow. I'll be using it for woodland work, occasional tree surgery but mainly delivering logs. Just need your valued opinions on the Brit Tipp tipper. Before I part with the hard earned money any thoughts?

Both of the transits I have had came with Brit tipp tippers from the factory, one of them was 18 years old and still in excellent shape. Seem to be well made.

I have seen many brit tips old and new. They are well specked and well built.

 

You wont go wrong with it on the tipper, somewhere to put your elbow, now there is another issue altogether

This is my existing machine which I'm keeping until summer then hopefully replacing it with new utility station wagon. One reason for getting a tipper is I'm sick of dragging a trailer around the lanes then having to reverse up little lanes to houses etc.

Bear, won't be a prob if you're buying new, but just in case you go "pre-loved" watch out for 110 U SW pre 2008. They are not taxed/registered as 'commercial' so road fund licence is £490ish rather than £270ish (not absolutely sure of figures but there abouts) I got caught out!

Can you not get them to put you a set cages round the body with a dividing gate in middle and then get 2 loads logs on.

My transit is Brit tip and I have same done to get 4 loads on.

Right then Gents, had an email from the dealer first thing this morning to say someone had just placed a deposit on the machine I wanted! Hope it's not any of you! Found another but it's a grand more!
