You looking to rent in or hire out?
-
Now try to find a definition of unladen weight & a maker that follows that definition as they all use their own version. Then you will find that the regs then add on any extra fixed equipment too. Its a mess. Mass in service. unladen weight, kerb weight are all worked out differently. Most dealers cant even tell you the kerb weight (remember the speed thread ) The V5c gives you mass in service. Same as the second option of seats & load space. Virtually every case I has seen try to use that exemption has failed. Has anyone got an first hand experience of a successful case?
-
Yes thats why I said what I did. I love it when people quote the law at me that proves what i said.
-
Can you show me a 2000kg claus for that? The only 2000kg rule is for car derived vans.
-
When combined the new vehicle created is over 3500kg. But they exempt trailers under about 1000kg kerb weight that rules most out any way.
-
if its a full maintenance lease their costs go up.
-
Only if its for legitimate agricultural forestry or fishery use. Edit to add. Hauling cord & bales that you own will prob be ok. Outside of that you need a C1E or CE dep on weights to drive it. Plus white fuel, road tax, vehicle inspections etc.
-
Changed my mind.
-
Could you not get it on further? Or turn it round?
-
Thats how I ended up with one. Was going to get a tractor pto one. Then though for a few £k more I can have a trailer mounted engine one I can hire. Honestly I think too many people are doing it. Prices are too low.

North Wales No it will never pay for itself just on hire income Home owners / small businesses.
-
We hire ours with an operator.
-
You have added a lot of things that are not actually in the regulations
-
Is it on a wooded plot? If so you can have a caravan for up to a season at a time. Its been to court & a "season" is defined as a period of less than one year.
-
16" is to much for our machine. 14" max but much more productive at 8-12".
-
When, how much, what sized cord?
-
Of course its your problem. Whilst N 1 classification is sub 3500kg its registered weight is over that. Mistakes don't give you a free pass. If stopped they will look at the plate that says 3991kg and nick you if you do not have C1. They will then confirm that with the V5c data. Using the 3500kg unladen weight. If you are towing and have C1E 107 again they will nick you if its over 8250kg real weight. You would never get a trailer that weighs one tonne and can carry 10 tonnes.
-
The 3500kg should be in section F1.
-
GVWR 3991kg. As long as that plate is on the car with no amendment & the V5c says 3500kg UNLADEN it can not be driven on a cat B licence. You need C1 & C1E to tow with it. If towing on a pre 97 C1E 107 restriction you would be limited to about 3000kg of trailer weight dep on real weight of the vehicle. Get the V5c amended & get a new weight plate made up to match. However also get it on a weigh bridge empty so you can see what it actually weighs & if there would be any capacity left with it at 3500kg.
-
Well I can see it.
-
The 5th wheel on it looks bent.
-
The word UNLADEN is in the wrong place. I would want to see the VIN / Weight plate before making comment on legality.
-
IF you have a BE prior to 19-01-2013 then the trailer can be any weight.
-
Dont tow in the snow. So far this week I have lost 3.5 days driver training (mix of trailer & learners). 3 trailer tests cancelled by the DVSA (which was the right call) & a days firewood processing on Sat. Not a good week. Fully booked up for about 6 weeks so I will be pushed to get them back in asap.

I think I was confusing your posts with someone else. Sorry.
