[QUOTE="devonbeef, post: 7669964, member: 105642"] I have a vehicle which is not really suitable for pulling our 12 ft cattle box with finished bullocks in when selling them, as does not have enough pulling power (a large panel van). I am presuming something like a toyota Hilux would be a far better bet? I have a 10 year old one in mind. It is a 2.5 litre model, i notice you can get a 3 litre one .Is this( the 2.5 litre) big enough to pull the 12 ft ivor with 2 finished cattle in.That weight seems to take them up to their payload .I know people put more in , but most of mine go on hauliers lorry but a couple a month finish out of time with others and we like to take them when they are ready) It is quite hilly round are way and pretty power draining on hills, with van i get down to 15/ 20 mph.Which is a bit stressful with pee'd of cars behind.With that i can barely get up some hills on route.So been thinking we would like something more suited for job, Any thoughts appreciated from other farmers using hilux s especially whether a 2.5 litre is big enough? Thank you [/QUOTE]
