Opinion on this trailer?

[Mortimer Firewood]

I had noted that about the VAT. Means I'm getting a 14ft x 6ft 6 inch trailer (2600kg MGW - same as the Navara can tow) for £1760.

 

Would the German trailer be delivered collection

Collection, but Ifor charge you £75 just to deliver it to one of their dealers. The dealership in question in Germany is about 20 minutes drive from my uncle.

Would it not be better to get £3500kg trailer now?? you can tow a trailer plated higher than your vehicles capacity, so long its actual loaded weight is within your vehicles capacity.

Possibly, but this one gives me the maximum load capacity for the year I'll have it, costs me less than I'm selling the old one for and I'll be able to sell it for what I paid for it in a year. I go to Germany pretty frequently, so collection is no bother and I'll get a new trailer in a years time and with the experience of having tried a different brand for comparing and contrasting.

 

I like the left field choice - I did my research with my sawmill, took a risk and it's paid off hugely. I have a mill that cost £15k less than the competition, cuts just as quickly, much more accurately and far less goes wrong. I'm hoping that not just going for an Ifor and trying something else will pay off too.

Used to be the situation, however absurb, and while I understand still applicable to non-Commercial users, I also understand VOSA are now insisting commercial users stick to the plated weights:confused1:

From local NI hearsay.

On my Mac the above letter appears to be black and white, if it appears grey on yours it may need repair

It's it a grey area, black and white according to vosa.

Alternatively, I don't believe there is any reason you cannot down rate a trailer yourself, fitting a new plate with a lower limit.
