    Cheers for the reply’s. I really don’t want to put the ware and tear on my caddy as it’s only 1.6 and don’t think I’d be able to tow much with it. Also it would be great to leave them to season in the woods but literally every bit of dead or fallen wood there is riddled in wood worm, so I’m keen to get them home!

    Evening all, im Matt and I’m new to this sort of thing. I own a couple of acres with a lot of beech trees which I have a thinning license for. I’m currently taking a few down mostly 25m high and 12” at chest height. I’m keeping them all for logs but need a vehicle to transport them home as I live 29 miles from the wood. I’ve been loading up my work van , a very caddy, each time I go but there’s so much to be moved I’m going to buy a second vehicle. I was thinking an old Mitsubishi l200 single cab as the track can get a bit tricky In winter. I’ve currently been managing to get roughly 1m3 in the caddy with each trip home and wondering how much more I’d get on a L200 or if anyone has any other suggestions I’m all ears. I need my caddy for work so don’t want to spend more than a coue of grand, as I’ll only be using the second vehicle purley for moving logs 1/2 days per week at most. Any advice would be appreciated,thanks ?
