Bad luck or not these vans are not driven by me so perhaps have a harder life than perhaps they deserve . Towing I agree , mid size or our quad chip no problems but when you start towing tracked chippers it doesn't like it so much . good set up I think , large tool box and good size cage for grass or chip if we need and plenty of hp . My lads just don't seem to like it though .

I went down the route of a single wheel fwd citroen relay 3.0 tipper to run along side the transit . My experience is the citroen does not handle the weight so well as the transit at all, also towing does not feel so good . I don't have the knowledge to tell you why this is but it is . We burnt out a clutch and blew a gearbox and flywheel between 50 to 90 thousand but this often happens to tippers when working them hard . On the plus side it is quieter to drive with less transmission noise and works fine for our GM work lugging cut grass and towing the mower . As pete said maybe look at an O license truck which we are if weight is going to be an issue.

We're moving jobs to next year with no way of getting them done before christmas. Gray Git is spot on these things have been here for years so whats the problem now . March is funny too getting things done before bird nesting season having known about the job all winter . Much better than last year as we started the year with one job on the books .

Have to say the tr8 sits a little heavy on our 8x4 , only fits on the wrong way , truck copes with it , transit doesn't notice but I think I'll try a 9x4 if there is such a thing , or as the previous post a 10x5 would be ok .

It may involve the odd night away (usually good hotels not doss houses and generous overnight pay) The odd early start (again generous allowance) Applicant doesn't have to be Bernd Strasser however needs to be enthusiastic about work . Usual quals required however we can help with lack of these also. Message for more details . [email protected]

Thanks Gary , kind of my thoughts too , seemed overkill for odd plates and a bit of roadside testosterone perhaps on both sides . As for the breakaway I agree as we always have three or four new ones hanging on pegs in the workshop who should have been done before they left .

One of my lads this week was stopped by VOSA on a major road , it took him quite a while to pull over because he didn't have a clue who the orange lights behind him were which infuriated Mr VOSA man . The faults found were the plates didn't match (both company plates) and break away cable missing . Both of them problems could have been sorted before they left the yard which hands up for that . My lad stood his ground with mr angry VOSA man who was saying the trailer was overloaded (1 X kubota 3680 on 3.5 ton plant trailer) and was looking for fault which he did not find . This ended with no endorsements or fines but angry Mr VOSA man saying he was putting a marker on both the plate on the trailer (my old logging truck) and our transit . Can this guy do this and can I expect to be stopped every two minutes or is this harassment ?
