It's possible I have a 650 custom tank fitted but I wouldn't recommend it.

How can you fit stuff in around the bales and sheep?

I stick the poles on the roof inside some gutter downpipes and bungee them on, I use cable ties to stop the pole hose from flying off.  I'm a bit short on pictures at the moment but next time I'm working I'll take some, however here's a close up of the back. 

These trucks are really thirsty though, I got one for the same reasons as you stated but to be honest I now find running a second car for other stuff better that using the truck all the time.  It makes little difference to the truck if the tank is full or empty.

How can you fit stuff in around the bales and sheep?

The sheep sometimes run off with the poles.

well it will be purely for work at the mo, with the occasional trip out. so i do think its ideal

I have an elbow going into the side of the tank at the top on the left by the blue hoses.  It's well concealed in the picture.

I use a nissan 4x4 with a freedom trolley.It does about 30 mpg,can fit in folding ladders, 10 x 25 litre barrels,could get more in if I stacked them.
I am looking for a roof rack to carry my normal ladders,also looking for a flat water tank so I can stack the barrels on top as I have started running out of water.
Ithink the nissans have a bit more room in the back than the mitsu s

Just a few more pictures for you lwc that I took today.  First how I get the the brushes on .  On long journeys 2 poles will go on the roof and 1 inside,  my 12 ft extender ot 17 ft xtel will just about fit in by the side of the tank.  On short journeys and for speed I leave a couple of brushes hanging out the back, I bungee the door down so the brushes won't fall out.

Some pics of the back.  Before and after.  The big problem I have is that the pumps are installed on top of the tank just under the roof, so if they ever play up to get to them I have to take the roof off.

The pros to having a pick up is that you never get stuck in the mud and people really notice you.

is the cons to having one that you have no space and the poles dont fit inside ?

I love the look of the them look very smart, but pole hanging out at tail ect

Thats pretty much it.  Having to unload all your poles every night is a bind and any trad gear thats on display inside the cab.  Plus not being able to get to the system easy to maintain it.  In the long run I'm looking for a van.

FEEN uses a pickup, he has a backpack & carries loads of barrels.

tony

That'd be me then I'm not doing that backpack vs full system argument, but if I use my 10 20 litre drums in a day I've earned enough and me happy
