Im still strugggling to find a decent trailer to haul a mini digger.


The only ones i can find wont take more than 2.5 tonnes and the digger is 4.5 or 3.5 if we use my dads wee one.


Looking in the sussex area if anyone has any bright ideas.... pond project.


alternative is a lot of diggging by hand, and given i only have one spade it might take til im 100.

What vehicle have you got to tow your "trailer with mini-digger"?

Most "small plant" trailers will only go up to 2.5T as that is the max most everyday 4wd's/pick-ups will pull, if you're lucky! Anything over this weight probably needs to go on a low-loader pulled by truck/tractor or on a low bed HGV. Any trailer designed to carry a 3.5 or 4.5T machine will probably weigh best part of a tonne as well.

Probably aswell to hire a micro digger and get it delivered
