Van broken into eastern green Coventry
dumper replied to Dawsons Groundcare's topic in Stolen Equipment
They really wanted what’s inside given the sign writing and all the locks on the doors were you telling them how valuable the contents of the van are/were? i wonder how much business is generated by sign writing the vans as opposed to losses from theft is sign writing really worth it? -
I run a transit a ford ranger and a defender 130 all reliable if you follow the service schedule if like some you just let it develop you will get trouble there is more to go wrong with a Landy do you really need a tipper the extra weight of the gear isa down side my Landy has air helpers in the back a must have if you want a reasonable ride I do 100 miles a night with a fully laden gritter with no problems just don’t think you are driving formula one!

Grass cutting with a front loader is not cost effective to much horsepower doing nothing decks are too small and the speed of cut is slow, 25hp loader cutting 1.5m or 40 up tractor cutting 3.6 faster

Most trucks will tow 3.5 tonne some do it legally, Not many will stop with that weight behind most pickup sacrifice load weight for train weight. With overun brakes a recipe for disaster. Your tow truck needs to weigh a similar amount to the trailer if not more this is basic physics This leads you to Landrover 130(maybe)or iveco, transit and Toyota What others have I missed
