I am yet to see a tidy tipper for a grand - trust me i am looking Maybe not hard enough then if they are about

Get a tidy old tipper for around £1k, you don't need anything more. Save the rest or spend it on tools/chipper etc

Been looking at a few different tippers, including Transits, Cabstars and LDV's... All the insurance quotes seem to be £3000+!! I am only 19, but my Navara Aventura is with Aviva and they wouldn't quote me Who's everyone else using? Cheers

Shame I'm not still working in Stafford or I would have driven it up.

 

I'll hitch it up to one of our redundant Kwikchips (one spoken for so far) and take some pictures of it working as an outfit.

Yep, I agree... All of my friends are paying £2000+ for old cars. It's blooming ridiculous!! My girlfriend is paying £1400+ for a Ford Fiesta 03 and that's with a stupid black box!

There you go a complete business starter kit complete with apprentice demonstrating how to fall headlong into chipper hopper!

first truck is the ldv and probably the cheapest and toughest truck you can buy, has the Peugeot engine and bomb proof gearbox, top speed 45mph down a hill. got it with 21k

 

second is an iveco 35c12 bought this at auction for £1600 with only 60k on the clock, again virtually new truck and has breezed through two mots.

 

the best place to get truck is at a council auction because there is 40-50 trucks that make around £300 - £2500.
