All this talk about values has made me think about dragging my ifor 126 tipper out of the corner and giving it some love..
Used it twice in 3 years since getting a wagon - must be worth 5k€ over here.

Or not

Good Afternoon Giles,

We have a GX126 Tri in stock that we could add LED lights too but that trailer comes on 155/70R12c wheels and tyres which we cannot change.
This trailer will be £4930.00 plus vat.

Kind Regards

Asked today for price but on the 13” saravo tyres

been out today with big Bateson tight rural spot taking track dumper, switched to little ifor as can leave it with less worry about it going walk about and turn it Rd in tight yard.

funny looking dumper that

are those axles far enough apart ..... must tow like an arrow, but a bitch to manoeuvre in a tight spot

 

[Furniss]

Nah its cos the mudguard is missing maybe

@Giles Is that little Ifor a GD84?

Yes gd84 gta

My tippers similar but very nimble

must be 4 ft centres

 

[Shovelhands]

must be 4 ft centres

They are fine, tow well and no issues reversing. Hitch height needs to be spot on and tyres don’t last long….

as said James .... must tow like an arrow ... spread axles are good for speed, just kill tyres and are hard work, slow manoeuvring, when loaded

 

[LKSF]

Yea I think they are 220bhp and 6 speed Box they are really nimble in round the city and the wee streets will take it places the van and trailer won’t go serious lock on the steering. They are definitely 7.5tonners.. I didn’t believe it till I read the plate.. only problem is sometimes they struggle a wee bit getting grip, can only take 2,5 Ton on the lorry though .

When we're talking about work vehicles (plant, carrying and towing etc) BHP is a pointless figure, you need to look at the torque figure and if possible the torque curve. That's what's important.
If you want that explaining then let me know.

Power is a product of torque and speed, torque at wheels a product of correct gearing. Not a pointless figure by any means.

I sort of agree
my truck is 620hp and will happily pull a loaded trailer up windy hill
now a super car with 700+hp will struggle

so it’s all about big flat torque curves

It's the difference between BHP and HP you need to understand. HP is reality, BHP is what the salesmen says.

Correct.

Exactly. I used to have a 2 litre 500bhp car, in the same village was a huge recovery truck that dragged stricken articulated lorries off the motorway back to their yard, trailer and all. It proudly said on the side it had 500bhp.
Do you think my car would have pulled an articulated lorry with trailer?
Nope.
If you put my car engine in the truck it would hardly pull the tow truck itself around.

At a guess the truck had around 1600ft/lbs of torque, my car had about 400.

Why they advertise truck bhp figures is a bit beyond me as it's largely irrelevant. If the tow truck had said it had 1600ft/lbs of torque I would have been more impressed.

My Benford has a whole 34bhp yet it'll pull itself and a load (5.2 tons) easy enough, it'll set off on tickover in 3rd gear. That's because it produces a lot of torque right from tickover onwards.
