What tipper truck is the best?

[Joel77]

And this is the problem with 3.5 ton tippers ( its not a dig at you Joel) , a chipper like that has an output of over six tons an hour which on some jobs could mean emptying the truck more than working

Don't worry bob, transit only tows chipper to & from jobs all chip stays on site iv got a nice little TW125 that goes out with transit

 

But seriously a tracked chipper is a lot to ask of a transit

[swinny]

Theres was a grinder in there also in fact you can just see its handles

You run a few transits though Bob?

 

Feckit I have been rumbled

 

Only because the nippers cant drive anything else, thats my excuse and I am sticking to it .

I have the same problem. Just bought a 3.0 Cabstar, 1300kg payload and tows like a train. Plus really good steering lock and flat front cab, it's just like a mini lorry.

 

Also I think there's a big difference between running a transit or similar alongside bigger trucks, and running one as your only truck. If there's a lot of stuff to shift then then it's always going to be a job for the lorry.

I have just gone back down the route of 2 3.5t vehicles easier for me than a lorry on some access jobs i get
