What size horse for a 3.5t lorry!???

[xmariax]

I'm thinking of buying a lorry but do u guys think a 3.5t would be too small for a 15.1 hw cob,weight wise???!

Should be okay, it depends on the unladen weight of the truck. We have a 3.5t that can hold 1.1t (legally), assuming the tank is half full, there's only basic tack on board and the driver. I have driiven it at, what I assume is (15.2 lightweight and 14.1 light cob), max weight but it didn't feel very safe.
It would have to be a very, very heavy cob to exceed the weight for ours!

My 17.2 travels very happily in mine. It depends on the chassis used though. Mercedes Sprinters tend to be higher off the ground than Renault Masters.

You'll be fine. The payload is usually just over a tonne in them although they all vary. I carry a 16.1hh in mine (TB) quite happily and it doesn't even feel like I've got any weight at all in.
