We need:
- something to use to spray and harrow fields;
- something to tow a trailer with two small ponies (large Shetland and 12hh);
- something reliable (smart motorways locally, breaking down is not an option). Could avoid motorways if we have to.
- in the future we will need to tow heavier horses (less of an issue if we get an older car for less money as that would be the next car’s problem).
Current options:
- lighter tow car (Outlander/X-trail) with lighter trailer. Can get both straight away within budget. Not sure if I would also need a separate quad for the field work.
- heavier tow car (looking at Ford Rangers) that will be more likely to stand up to field work too and would tow anything. Options locally seem to be either ancient or much newer (so would need to save up again for the trailer). Would also take water to the field easily (no mains water).
Which option would be best?
