Buy or hire the Maxi 3 if...
- you want one that is rated 800kg heavier gross
The Maxi 3 is aimed at owners who regularly need to move three horses at once, using diagonal herringbone stalls and a full-size tack room rather than a simple extension of a two-horse layout. At 3500kg GVW it needs a suitably rated tow vehicle and, for newer licence holders, category B+E entitlement.

Buy or hire the GD105 if...
- you want one that is 810kg lighter empty
The same market as the GD85 with about 60cm more bed length, which is the difference between fitting a load and not. Landscapers and anyone moving long materials or a quad choose it for the length rather than the payload, which is unchanged.
