Well recently I looked at all pick-ups mark as was looking at replacing mine and nearly did till chewed its gearbox up (only thing it hadn't eaten) and Isuzu was nice truck and value for money. L200 i felt was very over rated and with reliability of mine I'm sick of Mitsu! Navara was very very impressed for the money came with every toy you can want and ride and power was superb. But the best is Hilux but that goes with the price just everything spot on felt more range rover then a pick-up BUT there is a lot of horror stories with them ones bought in last few years -

Having to truck shop... what a chore not!! this is due to my L200 breaking down again so decided to get shot and looking at a late Land Rover Discovery 2 or having just seen insurances Discovery 3 are now in the pile so off to try some more tomo, with the D3 looking favorite ;D As tried new shape L200 and Navara's there good but bit disappointed compared to a landy -
Used to work with it and was an animal can understand why it stayed so long played with that 11 furrow let alone the stx 530

Part of the reason were running a Vaddy for the fact there designed for that speed and we never have any troubles with seed placement or emergence. I'm looking forward to chaser as well, if it happens as be hell of a thing to have flying around would keep me awake when on the hills -

Well it's primary use is our 8m Vaderstad Rapid need the power to drill at 20k. But I'll be using it on a 7 leg Keeble subsoiler, 6m PH, 6m Vaderstad Topdown and currently looking at 30 ton chaser bin for harvest. And anything to start taking some workload off the Cat -

Haha yup really that's what am but been trying to work it out for last few months since hiring a new lad last few months. As spraying will always be number 1 role so been working out around it which holds me up 1000hrs a year what will be my work. So having it sorted what is mine and what my jobs will be has pleased me. As was going to be main combine man but cant when start spraying mid August :'( So ploughing and spraying is my job title
