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!!!

there's always the option of putting it on the neck of a lowloader trailer if someone that is near to you is bringing some heavy kit down to the show. is there anyone local with a tank that you know of ?
we'll get you to the show somehow rich don't worry.

My old ford cargo with beavertail keeps going and going.
I had to put a good winch on just incase we have to recover my MKII.
Made up some good strong ramps.
Then your off.
Should not cost much more than £2500 and its yours.
Do not need Tacho or haulage license so long as you register it as private heavy goods and you only use it for your carrier.

Make sure its a cargo with wooden deck ( keeps weight down)
