Just had a quote from Arbinsure (just up on the right !) for similar set up,although without tool cover,total was just over £500 - but this included employee cover,without this it was nearly half the cost. Low price seemed to hinge on low turnover,which is not a problem for me!

Thanks very much chaps- Trailer looks ideal,but i'm down in deepest Sussex - should have mentioned it last week shouldn't I ,could have dropped it off !!!

Not quite sure where to post this,but I guess it is equipment ! Does anyone know the ins and outs of using laden forwarding trailers behind a legal tractor on the road - can't think that I've ever seen one. reason being that I have the opportunity to fell and extract a sizable amount of firewood timber (80 - 100 tons at a very rough guess) at a site that is only 3 miles from my yard. It will probably need to be extracted from the felling site by forwader anyway,and I was wondering if it's possible/viable to trundle it all the way behind that tractor rather than offloading it and arranging for roadside pick up - trying to keep costs and handling to a minimum

Excellent,just what I was after - Thanks very much for that

Do any of you chaps know where I can get hold of a couple of Roller Shutter doors - as fitted for tool lockers etc. into the side of vehicles. Ideally I'm after the aluminium extrusions that can be chopped to suit the available space (400mm ish) - new or secondhand ! Cheers Steve

you are absolutley right,the butt is shorter on the 130 than the 110,fortunately this time it's deliberate as it gives the opportunity to stretch the cab and provide a secure storage area for a tool locker behind the seat,and dog storage above that - well thats the plan anyway !:001_smile

I've just bought a 130 hi-cap tub to do much the same for my 110. The chap I purchased the tub off is based near to Stanstead - he had an alloy tipper bed up for sale - also does the tipper conversion work himself,I'll pass his number on if it's of any interest
