Personally I don't think u can beat what you have, hang on and wait for the new model?

id get a cheap or second hand small trailer for your mower and a few logs but as others have said there not great for loads of logs , i load up my 7x4 with logs but it feels a bit pushed. then do test and get bigger trailer, the small one will always be handy for the mower n light stuff.

I have grandad rights on my licence b but a front of mine did his trailer test end of last year and he said it was just like talking the car test again. It cost him about £600 but he pulls an Ifor and we fetched a Discovery from Cannock with it last week. Do the test of you needed to pull loads of logs worthwhile delivering, it will be worth it in the long run. I pull a little unbraked trailer with the Berlingo and if it has any weight in it pushes you on downhill runs.

I've got a sub 750 trailer with no brakes on it and even pulling with the pick up you can feel it pushing you down hill. The big trailer twin axle braked is much better as even when it's got 2 tonne on it you can feel it pulling you back when it's brakes kick in.

Get the licence it will be worth it. I hardly use the small trailer now.

my thoughts save all the hassle put the mower in the back of Toyota. I cant see the point pulling a trailer with an empty pickup

How does that work exactly ?

Presumably up some ramps though I would not like to try it!

Also it would have to be a small ride on as the load beds are not that big on pickups

strangly enough I just bought a trailer to use with the mog today, an ex RAF "s" type weapons trolley fitted with the long spine mod, 6mtr lengths of timber and loads up to 12 ton, all agri rules of course....lol

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it !
