Looks really nice, have you put it over a weight bridge yet to see how much chip you can put in the back?

 

I'm currently purchasing a transit and a chip box to the rear, its all main dealer so unfortunately it wont ever be ideal!!!

Ill work out how much it weighs when I've finished it, but it could take a 3ton load with the previous back then I removed 300kg and I reckon I will have added 600-700kg so looking at around 2.6 - 2.7 ton that it will be able to carry

That'll be a good amount of woodchip or logs in the back then!

 

I remember overloading a 7.5 in the past then having a local police car follow me for about 1/2 mile! was very happy to see them turn off on to another road

You never really know how loaded you are... Unless you get scales fitted

Its an arbtruck, the default load is overload

Looks like a cattle wagon to me

All joking aside, I wonder what percentage of arb trucks are overloaded when they leave the yard in a morning?? Gear and lads can easily add up and the pay load of many trucks is pathetic.
