Twinaxle with ATs and load over the axle will probably win, but it's going to be a lot less tare.. max 1500 kg on grafter legally with upto 2700kg on tipper. My movano is very grippy off road with weight on, but it's not very good at changing direction in poor ground compared to Dmax
We got away with tipping multiple loads on a field last January with tipper. Amazing dry week and very coastal so drained soil.
It’s still here
but I’m also selling this beast 
but if you get this stuck……….then your stuck

Rory has first refusal but if he doesn’t want it £3.5k collected from my yard
But you are. I quoted partially a well known saying for you to pick up on, but maybe it went over your head. Here is the abridged version with explanation:
re @V8Druid its because he bought a 15 ton duck to move some smallish rocks to build his shed and instead of building the shed he's been building stuff for the duck instead lol and painting stuff brownBut you are. I quoted partially a well known saying for you to pick up on, but maybe it went over your head. Here is the abridged version with explanation:
"The admonition to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes means before judging someone, you must understand his experiences, challenges, thought processes, etc. The full idiom is: Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. In effect, it is a reminder to practice empathy."
I did that because I don't have the time to explain to you chapter and verse why things are done the way they are, but there are good reasons and with respect, I wasn't asking for advice on it. I was simply posting up a snapshot of one moment of a day when Winter rainfall fell in July, so judge ye not on that.
I studied Building site Management to HNC level as it then was and one thing we were taught is when materials come in you offload and store them correctly in the place where they will be used, you do it twice you're wasting time and money. You can't argue with that.
If you want to come up and spend a few months here helping and then advise after what you've learned about living on the Pennines on a tight budget you're welcome, i'm sure we can get you a bed somewhere.
Fellow respected member V8Druid builds things in an open yard in the rain whilst everyone else uses a workshop, I once enquired/advised why and didn't get much of a detailed response. That's because I never walked a mile in his shoes and really it's none of my business why he does things the way he does. It is what it is and I respect that.
As must you
I'd be interested to hear how you'd excavate and stack these with the 3CX the 'Drema replaced Giles ??
then look at the pix and see what is in use doing that

Exactly. If you're doing something that looks dumb, but has method in the madness, then say why. Especially if the thread title asks for advice.Woah...title of thread "looking for advice"....

Id use a donkey.
I remember when I first got a 016. Had to get a load of fencing stakes on an ifor accross a soft bit of moorland, it sank and the Defender sat there uselessly spinning away in the peat. Hooked the trailer up to the 016 and off it wentExactly. If you're doing something that looks dumb, but has method in the madness, then say why. Especially if the thread title asks for advice.
So go on. Why is a highly qualified construction manager (nice appeal to authority by the way
And yes, you do move materials twice if the alternative is making more mess than the time saved.
One thing I do know about you 'off gridders' is that you have more time than money. Trailer is brand new though...
Advice you probably don't want- replace that 4wd with am old tractor. Always useful on a smallholding and will pull that trailer. Drawbar on the linkage and you can lift it up to get the trailer on the back wheels- more weight on the tractor wheels and much less rolling resistance. The front wheels of the trailer digging in and barely any drawbar weight (possible even negative with coil springs and a low hitch) are why you can't get anywhere as you are.
Even cheaper- a towball on the digger blade. Got me out of the s**t a lot of times.

They didn’t have Hydremas when they built the pyramids, just plenty of migrant labour. Now there’s a thought.15+ft in the air ?
what about getting them in the dump trailers they left in ??
Dare I mention we are still wheelbarrowing and not using engine propelled barrows.

You had it easy. We didn’t get wheels or handles.
