Just to far for me fuel and time wise or I would of had it. It has 7 months mot so gotta be a goer for someone

Me to

I think I have found my dream tipper - brilliant on fuel as well Bedford Rascal Tipper advertising Van | eBay

I am yet to see a tidy tipper for a grand - trust me i am looking Maybe not hard enough then if they are about

Yep - hard up Brummie I am afraid. I have only got a max 3K to spend. I have looked at two trannie tippers this am - both wrecks. Prefer the size of those cabstars to be honest, more of a all round gardeners van, that will double up as a chippers van Cheers for all the advice - it is appreciated.

Ok I think it is time for me to upgrade my little Belingo Van. i bought a 6 inch towable chipper a few weeks ago and towing with this small van and trying to chip into wheelie bins is very hard. The van only holds three bins so I have to come back home and pick up my trailer then hump builders bags around when all my bins are full. I am struggling to make it pay. I do mainly lawn cutting and garden stuff during the growing season and bought the chipper hoping to offer a chipping service during the winter months to one man band tree guys. I have picked up a few jobs but not having a bigger van is hindering me somewhat. So any one got something for sale that may suit me - been looking at the nissan cabstar both the dropside and tipper but all the ones I have seen are well over a 100+ miles away. Also was thinking a pickup might be better, looking at a ranger on ebay at the mo. Could use it to tow and chip into and also carry mowers, strimmers and stuff when need be. Also how do you lock up all your gear with these open vehicles, no problem for me at night as i have gates to lock the vans behind, its during the day when working. Appreciate any thoughts from you more experienced guys Cheers Paul

I used to lease all my vehicles with full maintenance in my old business. I knew then every month the cost of that vehicle whatever happened. I also then knew what I had to turn over each month to cover my all costs, wages etc.. FOR ME that was good. No hidden expenses. Need a bigger van now so may go down that route again.

57 now and I thought I would give it a go. Just do my own trees and the very occasional job for customers - SLOWLY

Got more than I need now haha So two bins available at what I paid, which is £10 a bin - good nick if anyone wants them. Cheers Paul

Send em over to me - I will chip anyone's rubbish if they pay me

Result -

Thanks anyway kav - but I got myself 6 off wrights now

I want that blue truck :001_smile:

Builders bag and a trip down the tip to get rid

Yep - but you will spend a couple of hours looking for it UNPAID and might not even get it back. But knowing me I would have to try anyway GOOD LUCK

In the good old days you could run a business off YP - Thompsons and the BT I think ran it then. I had a carpet cleaning business and it was all you needed. The good old days haha before the bleedin internet and effin mobile phones.

PM sent :biggrin:

Not that far from Stafford that's for sure at £10 a bin

Tried my local council and the bin men on their round + the guys down at the local tip site. Nothing going so far.

Any news kav with your landlord ref buying a few bins?

Thanks

I have actually thought about doing this

I am after 4 or more if the price is OK.

Yep - used is fine, does not even need a lid Best I have found pricewise is Amazon at about £39

does any one know of a cheap place to buy a few of these - or should I sneak out late at night and pinch a few
