When can you justify a 4x4 arb truck.

[caveman]

Trucks for treework come in two convenient sizes

 

To big

 

and

 

To small

What do you mean?

If you occasionally need 4x4 and can afford it get a defender tipper, they're no different to run than any other 3.5t vehicle. I don't think there is a perfect vehicle though I run a landy tipper 18t tipper and crane ifor tipping trailer and L200 if you have a selection you can usually chip and change to suit a job. And if your making the most of each pieces strong points the days they are sat idle won't matter.

That sounds like a hell of a collection!!! You have what I would like!!! Maybe in years to come! I think the landrover tipper is looking to be the clear winner at the moment. What is the best platform for a tipper? A hi cap or 110 pick up? Can't afford to buy a new chassis can direct from LR.

[Orchard]

Sorry

Chassis cab direct from LR

Land Rover tippers don't hold diddly squat, you'll spend the whole day doing runs to your tip.

Would disagree with that get a good 2 tonne on my 130 with no bother ATTACH]168588[/ATTACH]

[Mountain man]

I put a tonne and a quarter of topsoil on mine, (weighed on a weigh bridge) it was like driving a boat, sitting right on the bottom of the springs. Genuinely dangerous, 25mph max.

The idea of another 3/4 of a tonne is unthinkable.

If that is a picture of 2 tonne of chip on your lr. Then sorry, I don't belive you. Even if it is, the idea it was "no bother" is dubious.
