Ello people, I'm about to set up a company, just looking for a truck, I'm assuming a tipper is the most practical vehicle judging by other arborists I've worked with, any advice, recommendations greatly appreciated, cheers
 
alright mate. whats your budget?
if you want value for money i'd definetly go with an ldv. make sure its 98 onwards as that has the transit engine and gearbox. thats what i currently have. im no transit fan, mostly because i think you can get far more for your money with other trucks. the vw lt35 is well worth considering if you're looking for something a little more upmarket, i think thats going to be my next move anyhow
 
Don't you mean lorry? Ha ha ha left me saw in the boot, best look under the bonnet and check the oil.

Get yourself a good secondhand jap truck, the best secondhand jap truck is without doubt a nissan cabstar..do '''not''' buy an LDV ,Transit,or Iveco

Kind of funny for a proud racist, white supremacist chav such as yourself to be extolling the virtues of a truck built by Japs, eh? Remember WW2, Rolla? Wanker.

Another brilliant thread by the :monkey: ....:clap:
 
thanks

I've decided to go for the cabstar, I was considering a canter or an iveco, thanks for advice
 
i know off someone with a iveco with roller shutter tool box behind the cab and a made for the job, metal tipping chip box, no power steering but a good tidy arb lorry all the same...he closed his business down but still has the truck. might take an offer...its a nice thing....
 
mitsubishi make fine trucks,there not the biggest corporation on earth by accident.
