    Sorry to burst your bubble but it will carry nothing legally. I ran one a few years back a crew cab like that and it weighed 3t empty. Before tools, fuel workers and lunchbox. If i had taken more biscuits to work with me i could have been overweight enpty lol. They are a great motor just heavy. Crew cabs make it worse

    No the 5 tonners are damn near same as the 35 the 6-6.5t have a bigger chassis, suspension and wheels etc the 6.5t is the one to go for

    Your right John. Its a load of bollox! Everyobe could run legit etc up all there outgoings and charge more.... then loose out o all the others that dont want to. Away with the faries springs to mind. Plenty of folk on here running tractors and mogs on red on domestic work. There never will be a level playing field. Go to work. Be safe and earn your money

    Does anyone know the belt numbers? Wonder if mines had wrong belts put on at some point or they have stretched
  24. swinny
    Only 1200 hrs? Thought it may have had more on. Have you had from new? I cant see the tr6 puttig in high hours like the older a530 jensen. Might infeed better but if it goes kaput a lot sooner then whats the point. My old jensen has well over 2500 hours on it and only age related things need doing / maintenance
  25. swinny
    Wow a company that says they will cover you if you accidently fell a tpo tree wont cover you for an apprentice
