    Hi Geoff, everyone has to work out whats best 4 their situation & try & refine that as much as poss. Sometimes that can be overlooked (due to the geographics of this forum) but 4 the odd time that I need a greater capacity, (tools or greenwaste) I can always hook up the trailer again.
    Much of our work is in the inner/middle subs & being without a trailer has soooo many advantages.
    Over my lifetime Ive proly reversed more with a trailer than without.
    Sometimes now without the trailer I even go the wrong way.
    Cheers Dean.

    Can any of you guys post up some pics of your ute-only set-ups? I'm keen to see how you've got it all arranged and what sort of space you have for your green waste and tree branches/prunings etc.
