In all honesty Matt, are you likely to get a tug working where you do? You’re just a farmer with a digger on the back and your local copper probably has ten towns to cover. I run a 2007 ranger, and with a remap it’s honestly the best and most practical tow vehicle I’ve ever had. The remap made all the difference.
Really like my new to me Iveco also and can’t wait to remap it too. But ranger ticks all my boxes for your kind of work even if train weight is 500kg short.
Does anyone else find that no truck has a high enough tow ball? I have to use ladder hitches on al my vehicles.
Come up here for a few days and you can try both trucks and every model in the towable bobcat range
I could really make use of a guy like you for a few days
Theres a fair cop shop close to where he runs out of.
But you don;t need to tow 3.5t? So pretty much anything will do! Crew cab tipper would give you tool space and a useful tipping body. Iveco tipper legal to tow 3.5t should you ever get a larger machine but any other tipper will tow a micro. But most of all, try sticking the micro in the tipper body! A set of ally ramps are a game changer. So much easier than towing.Range Rover but it broke.
I can't decide what to get.
Land rover = constant repair
Land cruiser = £10,000 for 20 year old car
New pickup = £30-40,000
Van = not legal
Touareg= range rover levels of shitness (so I have read)
Currently driving a CRV and can't move my micro
2.4 ton would do for me but it's still limiting. I didn't think it was legal to tow with a van without taco, operators licence, other nonsense.
It is legal providing it’s not the driver’s main role (you are taking tools etc to and from the job where you will be using them on site to undertake the work you are paid to do) and you are with a 100km (I think) radius of your base.
These ramps weren’t! my little herbst trailer I used to have, They were 6ft long, slippery and same width as tracks and basically like a ladder with rungs wide enough to allow the idler end of the tracks to drop between them- dreadful design and would rather have loaded like your video if the tracks had been long enough.
this! I’d rather have two older ones than one new tbh. The wear and tear is spread so really the additional cost is tax and MOT, so probably only an extra £1k a year in running cost which is well worth it if it means the show can keep running when one of them brakes down.
Yeah I thought all the new Hiluxs were 3.5t
Ramps are for people who like their excavators running gear...
I have two tippers, a pickup, a small van and a motorbike. And a camper van, but she won't let me use it for work....
