Which is a good thing really. I find if you get an early morning or just after dinner slot you'll be in/out fairly quickly.

I aint arguing about it, never see vosa round these parts, and yes obviously i am massively over weight with the kx71-3 but that wasnt what i was getting at....

@DDD Brian James do a specialist light weight trailer that fits the BAV-025 bringing in the total weight of crusher and trailer in at smack on 3.5 tonnes, i have a pdf brochure for it somewhere.....

Come to think about it was it you that pointed me towards this trailer ? :rock:

Settled on an 07 t350 crew cab transit tipper. All kitted with tool box on the back, back cabs all sectioned out with ply, and a kettle and hand wash. We have towels, hand scrub and hand cream , for fecks sake. Paid £5,200 all in, which was a steal. It's a lovely shade of lime green, I'll post up somevpics once I've signed her up.:cool:

A kettle? How does that work in a van? Sounds interesting!
