Well after spending some more time researching a landy is looking more and more like the right vehicle, basically it seems to be the only vehicle with the exception of the Isuzu d max that can actually tow 3.5 tonnes. They all say they can, but when you get down to the total mass of vehicle and...

Thank you for your advice. I do not find you big headed at all, we work hard and have reason to be proud of what we achieved. I do believe a landy is the way forward, it is just a case of convincing a few people who don't seem to understand the nature of the business :doh:. I will be taking...

They they are really bad there, and are getting worse all the time. Yeah I'm doing my towing license soon, so I will be up to date with everything. Most people just ask to be pulled over when you see the state of the trailer and vehicle towing it though, especially when their load isn't strapped...

Yes a tachograph will be put in place, Vosa are getting more and more sharp with towing these days.

Nope as much as I want a pick up too, I can't afford to chuck money into two vehicles really. So it would be a landy, or a van. Yeah I like transit tippers, but for my job they aren't really suitable most of the time. We do encounter mud from time to time, but not all that often. Having said...

Nope not really, ratchet straps and a few tools mainly. However especially with this being a new business you never know what might come up.

We have ran both and found no difference. We don't drive fast when towing and as long as your load is set correctly, ie the trailer is balanced it doesn't tend to snake. But that is 1 for the Landy anyway :D.

So a little bit of background I believe is required for this question. I plan on setting up a ground maintenance, agricultural and plant dealer for used equipment. I have been working at one for 6 years now and as my uni course is almost over and my boss is slowing down more and more, I have...

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

Thanks. Haha ok, is he from the dark side? :eek:

Hello, I thought it best just to introduce myself before I start asking questions. So a brief introduction. I'm James obviously, 21years old, motorsport engineering student and also work with ground maintenance, plant and agricultural machinery when not at uni. I also race quads, jet skis...
