Weight in a 90

[Kenny]

Would half a ton of turf in the rear of a 90 be ok ?

Definately got some traction in the snow and ice

Seriously though I'm sure someone with a defender will put you right, I would have thought so, but not really used one so I'm no expert

should be ok, just make sure you Distribute the weight well, not too much near back but as much as you can over axle. oh and driving a long distance won't be fun. see farmers around here with up to 10 bails on back of a 90 pick up (my feeling is they can't get any more bails up to top or they would have more)

must add with the series I got just under a ton of cement in the back, and that drove ok.

If you put your grass seed down now you will have a nice lawn by summer. Most people use carpet though.

I've had that much weight in a 90 and the only thing I noticed was it was a bit lighter on the steering..

I had much less than that in my old 90, and it helped me spot some terminal rust on the chassis - the weight (6 paving slabs IIRC) meant that the spring hanger folded upwards.

Ooops

The page for the specs on a TD5 land rover is here. Can't have changed that much. I don't know whether the weights quoted include the vehicle.

I had 88 slabs in the Sankey the other week.

Don't know the load weight of a 90, but the 110 can take 1.2 Tonne (or there abouts) so should be fine really.

i thought you was meant to get the turf on the outside of the truck not the inside harder to clean. much easily to clean with steamer if you plasted it on the outside.
