  • ifor gd general purpose with ramp and cages you will need 12ft at least . or lm144

    i just get digger on my gd85 gd105 (10ft) was stolen 3 yrs ago -uninsured £1800 lost,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    tipper far to high //and too small for cost .........
  • Im thinking 12ft due to storage, its going to have to be kept on the drive. Its a shame having the tipper seems to be too high for plant moving, I see your point though, I am also looking to get the digger to start up digger hire too try and get some more money in, most people arround hear that do digger hire have larger machines.

    Im looking on ebay atm, I know to look ouit for nicked trailers, so it may be the case of geting a tipper and plant trailer, its cheeper for me to get a tipper and plant trailer than it is for me to get a tipper van and plant trailer once insurance comes into it! Bloody insurence companies discriminating my age!!!

    Before you buy one from ebay make sure you view it and get the serial number and phone this through to ifor williams to check its not stolen. Ideally the seller should also have the owners manual.


    Worth scrutinizing the brakes aswell, check the auto reverse engadges as it should etc.
