My last 7.5 tipper was a Mitsubishi Canter and we could carry 4.3 tons on that. Most 'brickies' will know the rules I would think! It depends if you can park it of course, but you would then have something, not just for W&P.........Or maybe you could just hire one? Ron
This is what my mate did for his tractors he shows.
He bought a 7.5 ton curtainsider the (lot cheaper!) and converted himself with winch and beaver tail. Also a tow hitch, two tractors and caraven to stay in! Whole lot cost just over £2,000!!!!
He pays small fee at local farm to park it in the yard!
Thats what im doing when get my new toy!!!
