towing ability
I have been lucky to get 4 tonnes of ash wood from a tree surgeon I know this w`end (tree pollarding).
Reason for post is the incredible towing ability of my td5 90 which handled 2 tonne per load with aplomb plus trailer weight which is the most I have towed with the td5 so well happy....engine loved it Very Happy

I tow virtually every day for my landscaping business, regularly up to and occasionally over 3.5t🤭.
The td5 130 was great for towing, but I’ve had a tdci 130 with a BAS chip for the last four years and there is no comparison, it just pulls and pulls😊

I think towing / working engine hard helps to clear it of build up of crap. Mine needed the blow out and today reached 75mph which previously was always a struggle Surprised
