Tractorman810 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 something small ricky belive it or not most farms use a 8/10 ton trailer not the monsters everyones producing,twin axel self opening doors not hydro same with the grain versions,would be so nice to see something normal for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Mono everytime, far stronger and it spreads the force of load over a larger area rather than all on chassis. Not Heavy, but not light, In the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Ricky, although the price of steel has come back slightly it is still high. It would be worth looking at how the amount of steel can be reduced without compromising strength. At the end of the day a trailer is a trailer and there is very little you can do to change the appeal of it. . . Or is there? Think NEW, what can be incorprated into the design which sets it apart from the Redrocks, the Richard Westerns, the Bailey's yet offers a saving either over initial cost or lifespan/useage. What features can simplify it's use, make it kinder on the operation it is doing without being loaded with gimicky extra's and fancey options.

MODELFARMER Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I think the market that would best sell is for an everyday trailer for yer average farmer? so multipurpose is whats in my mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 yeah multi purpose sounds great ricky ,removable silage sides ect, even drop sides, i did my weeks one that way, but not big, you will sell loads on a 8 or 10 ton sizing ,as no one else really does them, even maybe smaller single axel 6 tonners with same extras, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The AS group do plenty, Sean as do AW but these days there isn't the call for the smaller trailers. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty12 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 What about this Ricky? Certainly not small but definately impressive!! The size of this is massive though and a lot of people wouldn't get it through gates so a smaller one might be better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 I bet if that was full of wet wheat the ford pictured would struggle to tip it Thats crazy, and most certainly not road legal behind a tractor if it was full???

The ford struggled to tip it empty!! Well i guess then maybe kane are making it for the fun and to see what they can do maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 steady now Scott aye that kane took every last drop of oil out the ford to tip that trailer i agree with ricky surly i tractor can haul that on the road full hmm i would say a nice redrock would do ricky \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrium Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 If it is something your company is looking to get into, I would go with the ever popular 10 / 12 tonne model, just to get morte chance of orders in the order book. You need trailers out there to get a reputation. whether you opt for purpose built silage trailer or a hybrid, I dont think it matters, but dont do it on the cheap, as it wont take long for the bad comments to stick, with not many trailers out there to start, people would be put off without even using one. Try and think of a way of making a trailer feel heavy and robust, but not using too much steel. Might sound daft and I know the big trailer guys will devote a lot of time to this, but it will keep your costs down. whatever you choose, you know you need a sketch of one !!!
