XD Chassis?
Has anyone ordered one? It looks like the farm truck may need some chassis work next year but given how quiet the winter is chassis swap could be in order. I was looking at the XD heavy duty chassis they make, has anyone actually used one?

I fitted on to my 90 a year ago and on the whole it was a really good fit, there were no major issues fitting anything really, few little niggles that they could/should sort out: they didn’t do the bulkhead outrigger strengtheners (as fitted to td5 onwards), the bulkhead outriggers were slightly twisted (nothing major) and the front lashing eye bolt holes weren’t sleeved like they should be.

Was definitely a hell of a lot better than the examples I’ve seen from Richards and for for the money, I don’t think I would be paying over a grand more for the marshland ones.

Would definitely recommend one 👍

That’s good, i liked the look of them but it’s always nice to hear from someone who has, where did you get yours from?

Yep fitted 2 HD ones. As above small niggles but prefer them over a Richards. The finish on the galv was also very good and not just galv spray like some are. If budget stretches I’d go marsland every time as they always fit spot on if not then I’d go XD.

I had mine from Ian at IRB, although it was before XD changed ownership
