i have bought a iveco daily crew cab tipper a week ago and i thought it was a 3.5ton since getting it back i found out that its a 4.6ton truck and at only 24 and having the basic driving license i cant drive it i under stand that it can be down rated/ down grade to 3.5ton but to to do this i need at lest 750kg pay load but the truck with me as driver weighs in at 3120kg empty so some how i need to shave of 370kg some how to do this no idea what to get rid off to get me down to about 2750kg or would i be able to change the v5 logbook to change it from HGV to forestry/agriculture vehicle would that mean i would be able to use the truck for work driving it on the road and would the weight still matter if no how would i go on about changing the classification from HGV TO AGRI/FORESTRY pro and cons anyone ?
