On the other hand, have you ever been to the dealers and seen one in the workshop? I can't think that I ever have so perhaps they're quite reliable?

Just don't get a John deere box, or you'll be forever doing the head gasket!

Given the OP is in less favoured Cornwall, he would probably qualify for 50% funding under the small grant scheme as well!

Have you noticed how many times ?A certain person ?
re trspt box , a135 or dexta is the preferred go to power unit here , and has to have the black and white Animal herding operatives fitted too ,
sadly not (they don‘t even advertise onTFF).
but just to be clear I am totally open to any bribes anyone wants to offer ! ???
So the correct answer to the OP’s question is therefore which ever transport box or gator someone is prepared to pay me to run is clearly the best !

Good humour guys ????
You lot think I’m joking, @Banana Bar even accused me of taking the P but you can see from this photo of my current transport box why I am considering major capital expenditure. Perhaps I had best run it by the accountant first ?
As we are cautious and make do and mend farmers we had already replaced the first floor with a piece of checker plate but now that’s gone a s well ??

A half eaten chocolate digestive that the dog’s licked on the floor to promote all of these:
Whats the worst tractor of all time?
Whats the one tractor that never should have finished on the production line? The type of tractor that turned the owner into an angry man.

As the best power unit for a transport box ?

Can't believe no ones suggested the obvious. self propelled. Tipper. 3 wheeler for ultimate weight dispersal. Ultra reliable.
job done
sorry if @Cab-over Pete has come over all unnecessary

Unless I've missed a post somewhere, nobody has asked the OP what they use the box for. Maybe a sheet of ply held on with some second or third hand baler twine would be an acceptable refurbishment of the old one?

In recent memory, an old bachelor farmer of this parish, would drive his IH tractor into town on Fridays with his house keeper seated in the link box. He was eventually advised by local Plod to make other [safer] arrangements for the transportation of his house keeper....... 
And I thought I was the only person in the world who still used a transport box that wasn't on a vintage tractor in a show
Plenty of life left in that one it's barely even rusted
Btw I bought mine in a machinery sale having been fixed up and the frame for the floor and the floor replaced, by someone. I think I paid £200 for it because no one wants them anymore. Turns out I know the person who fixed it up and his bill for fixing it came to £250 ???
looks fine
How much?

You can save money by forgetting the transport box and using an old gate, a piece of blue rope (or big bale string) and an optional sheet of ply, depending on the load. This has the advantage of being able to move dead horses, etc, about on it as well from difficult-to-access places. ps don't use it behind a Discovery as this will make it go into "Limp Mode" faster than Bald Rick at a Pride march.
I was going to try for a px deal. But your welcome to bid me for it ....... ? apologies that’s nearly as bad as POA ??
On second thoughts it’s yours for a bottle of 25 year old Macallan ???

If its good enough for @Henarar it begs the question if you really should be changing it at all?
