I’d always try back it into pile or bank or lower machine off with arm
Yea, not a great price but this is the best way I found.. the garden the same height as the trailer😄

Who cares! Seriously- if it's easier to just crack on with a tractor and trailer to get the job done then so be it- from an economic sense I'm not sure it would add up running a tractor and trailer solely in place of a lorry- round here I can barely think of a single set up not moving excavators with a tractor. Off the moor is a bit different though!

As my machines live at yard at parents farm which is 1 hour from my house and limit of our western working limit I don’t use tractor anymore to much hastle and time wasted, Mate moves them job to job with his fastrac setup or can sit in his yard for few weeks between jobs working well. I just meet him at the job have all my tools and stuff in my pickup and can go home at end of day without taking tractor back to yard etc. Don’t do 1 day jobs that offen and if do have the 1.6 ton mini at home for them. Mrs loves the view out the current kitchen window haha 😆

Thought this might interest some just to look at carrying capacity

Even if a tipper body came in at 1.5t that's a pretty impressive load you can carry.

Although I’d never buy anything new the scale of that is impressive . It doesn’t look any bigger than a 7.5 tonner and the ramps wouldn’t be that high up either . It would take all my small plant with ease

By the time you've fitted a body that complies to the latest regulations you will of eaten a good bit of payload. You'd also be increasing the load height as any body fitted will be on a subframe.

You will still be looking at 3x that of a 7.5t daf for example

I just posted it as an example of what is available when going bigger than 7.5tgvw but staying the same physical size

They are wider than an n75 tho.

In height yes but I don't think an lf45 is much wider than an n75. Which is Almost certainly wider than an isuzu f135

They fit the same bodies to the lf45's and n75's but the drive axle sits out level with body on the dafs but the n75's sit well back in side. The cabs on the daf are also wider as well as taller.
It's not a direct comparison but the lf45 I drive which is a tipper stands the same size as the 11t plant lorry of the local hire firm albeit with a shorter bed.
Never been able to compare turning circle though.
And a n75 will carry considerably more than a full fat 7.5 tonner such as an lf45 or iveco eurocargo
