NCC Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hi chaps, Just finished my latest convo, this time it's a Marston 22 ton trailer I think, could be 26 ton as them britains trailers are a little large . Was a pain in the arse to make but I think it looks ok. Anyway as you can see from the pics made it into a tri axle and also made it so you can remove the silage sides and tail gate for when grain carting etc, Also added a few little extras like Air brake lines and hoses, hydraulic hoses and a few more lights. The pics will explain it better than me ha ha!. Anyway what do you guys think good or bad I am thinking a little to large perhaps Cheers Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Couple more. Tipping and with silage sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I think its a little mammoth! But interesting none the less. Good luck on the hydralic rams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Bigger is better IHP . These are the best hydraulic rams I have ever had on a marston trailer. They go up and down easily without sticking and they stay up aswell. Can't ask for anymore ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Shoot, thats big!! What does 30 cubic metres of grain or potatoes weigh?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I think some Trelleborgs could be an investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 And plenty of nose weight on the tractor, half the weight will be on the tractors back end I would have thought.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 You might have to modify the farm gates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Aye some new wheels is whats really needed. Like IHP says Trelles or something like that. Could do with one of them big birds with cocker spaniel **** to stop it doing wheelies down the road. What was she like on your Ford 6700 FP. ? 30 cubic metres of grain weighs 18,600 kg and 30 cubes of tatties weigh 20,970 kg. ?

JC Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Front axle broke on the tractor! Some weight in the trailer then when it's full then, do they have them that big in the real world? its close to the length of an artic trailer @ 12 metres long, thats BIG!

NCC Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 My poor trailer ha ha! your only jealous cause mine is bigger than yours . Worked it out to be approximately 28 tons with a full load of grain or tatties so it still is life like so to speak I know Richard Wooton once did a 26 ton. Would probably be a bit large with silage sides on though about 40 ton ha ha! was never meant for that though in the first place. Used Epoxy to stick it altogether and it is fairly solid as you can see from the pics can hold it own weight. I strengthened both the trailer body and chassis though quite a bit. Yes it is Dave's tattie harvester in the background. Excellent model by the way well worth the ?55 I think. Handles my GM crop which are actually mangolds very well.

sparrow legs Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Nathen, nice looking trailer but i would have made it 1 or 2 sections shorter to make it like the Easterby Beet Heeper trailer as the body is nearly too long for the chassie as it looks like it would bend under full load in real life, but then u have made a much better job than i could have done, keep up the good work! sparrow legs.
