I’d highly recommend Ifor Williams, build quality is still 1st class. Resale value is always great. If buying 2nd hand, check brakes, cables.

Update lads, long story short I bought a brand new Nugent 7x4’4 from CM Plant Sales in Moy. Colm was great to deal with, and by far the best prices I could find. It’ll surprise you how well priced these are.
Great Piece of kit, mesh sides and a big ramp tail. Tows so well. Overall, very happy!

Can the van tow that loaded legally?
Never mind, seen you answered that. Do you have to down plate it or just ensure it’s not over the weight to be legal?

Yeah, am I right in thinking with the Range Rover with a normal licence I can ton 1.1 ton as the RR is 2.4 ton with a max train weigh of 6.8 ton?

Ah back when they were both new.
The tipper is great for stones etc but the P8E is great for bulky lighter items and your allowed in the dump with it.

I believe it should be down plated to be fully legal. But I've just bought a Ford Ranger so it'll not be on the Caddy again, except in emergencies.

That 6.8t will be RR+trailer
Yes and no. There is an allowance for heavier tow vehicles in there:
“A category B vehicle may be coupled with a trailer over 750kgs MAM, provided the combination does not exceed 3,500kgs MAM. Or it could be coupled with a trailer up to 750kgs MAM, provided the combination does not exceed 4,250kgs MAM”
If you hold B+E, the MAM of car+trailer can be up to 7000kgs, with 3500kg of that being trailer, and assuming the car plating supports towing such a weight.

Even more confused lol
So with normal licence with the RR can I tow more than 750kg up to a maximum total weight if 3500kg? IE the RR is 2400kg, can I tow 1100kg?

Towing weights based on MAM so I guess you’ll not be able to even tow 1100kg, which seems a bit mental because you could probably do more than that with a mondeo, legally.

The MAM I think is 6800kg
Should get a tow bar on the Mondeo
that would be good fun with that tipper on the backCoog

It’s more than likely 3300kg MAM assuming it has a 3500kg towing capacity. 6800kg might be GTW or something? Either way without a B&E it seems like you’re legally limited to 750kg.
