west 1150 dual spreader

[sgoti]

Have seen a west 1150 advertised about 80miles away, would it be to heavy to put on a 14ft ifor flatbed? By the way i will be avoiding the motorway. Coming back via A roads and back roads to avoid any vosa checkpoints

A modern 1300 is 3t so an old 1150 might just be under the 2.5t legal threshold.
But it doesn’t make it more or less legal by using A roads

Take your brave pills and hook the ring over the ball hitch on the farm Defender...

You don't give your location, but if in or near the SW, I can recommend Bob Davies transport of Taunton.
They brought a west spreader into Cornwall, from Staffs a couple of years ago, for us.

I wouldn't risk weight etc. or pulling the guts out of your towing vehicle for a couple of ££s.

i would also recommend Bob Davis, hauled a tractor down from midlands for me, very good chap and fair price i felt

Dull for multiple reasons. Nonetheless I am impressed it made it up that slope and also stopped on what looked like a gentle slop down, what with just the weight of the trailer behind, let alone the grass.

I was impressed it didn't twist it's crankshaft in half but yes, dull. Next I want to see a non-taxed, non-insured Subaru forester pull a triaxle Ifor with a 7.5 tonne midi digger on the top of it. Shall we add some slalom poles to make it more exciting?
