This is one of our latest truck set ups, euro 6 engine on the truck, 2019 stage v ready engine in the chipper. Investing in reducing our environmental impact. Our first automatic truck too, very nice in traffic.

Nice set. Are you urban based, M25/congestion charge etc? Like the forward thinking for emissions [emoji1303]

It is, 180hp, thanks FS :)

nice truck - got an older 3.0 Daily myself, 35c14 - I thought 140hp would be enough, but even that struggles on the steepest hills when loaded - arb trucks do benefit from a big lump. You could get it chipped if 180 isnt enough

Tbh with the 8 speed auto it flys with a full load and 3.5t trailer, up the steepest hills in benfleet. Has around 430 of torque. I think the bigger engine ivecos have bigger brakes too, all helps when carting chip about ;).

I should have it for 3-5 years (min), then I'll advertise it. Comes with an enormous extras list. I like to pay up front for my kit, no stress when or if work slows down. Tho interest free is nice when its available.

What are the rear springs like?  Used to have one years ago and it was a great truck, only issue was it always looked like it was on its knees when you had over a ton on it 

Hard to see, we have a factory upgrade. Second row of springs which only engauge when loaded. Carries a legal load with no problem Steve. We use trailers when we need more capacity as I have my BE.

Upgrading the springs is pretty inexpensive...We have however found you had to be careful with Iveco daily's, apparently some have heavy duty clutches and are fine, others don't and are pants if towing and heavily loaded....

These are my springs, far superior to my older Iveco Steve.
