Lord Ferguson Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Well... I lent a mate of mine my trailer a few months ago... He called me today... I could tell by his voice he wanted to break something to me... anyway... a picture tells a thousand words... Nasty old Ford.. see.. that's the problem Evidently.. the ram let go halfway up... and it went over on someones nissen (nissan ? spelling) hut :D Last one... basically... RIP Mr Griffith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 oops ! best get a replacement now then mark , but keep the wheels & tyres back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 I won't be replacing this trailer mate... I guess I replaced it when I bought my last one (the orange McCauley dumper) ... I'm curently open to offers for 'salvage rights' :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 looks like he had her overload Mark, he made a fair mess of her anyways \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Oh that is nasty Mark but I'm sure you or your mate will be covered by insurance. I never lend out any of my 3 car trailers since well I have had them come back with broken lights, burst tyre and covered in shix...folk know not to ask me for a lend but I will certainly move stuff for folk if they ask me.

Lord Ferguson Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 looks like he had her overload Mark, he made a fair mess of her anyways \ I think that sums it up mate really \ ... hey ho... it was never my favourite piece of implement anyway... first, and last time I go second hand for a piece of kit like that. Lets face it... you don't really sell a decent trailer.. if it's still decent do you. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Oh that is nasty Mark but I'm sure you or your mate will be covered by insurance. He is Bill.. But he's a mate... so I told him not to make a claim on his insurance... it was pretty knackered anyway, so I'm not too fussed really \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPR Models Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Poor trailer Mark....I think the trailer was to used with Massey's and when a real tractor took it for a ride poor Griffith couldn't handle it ;D ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Umm.... perhaps you've got that the wrong way around Pete... I think the trailer thought that to live out the rest of its life behind a Ford was too much to take... so decided to commit suicide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Mark, theres got to be about 5 or 6 Griffith trailers up here in Caithness and not one of them is straight there all twisted maybe not as bad as whats pictured here, but yeah even the one at my work has a fair twist in her now. Not the best of trailers but they get you from A to B atleast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best of trailers but they get you from A to B atleast! It's not a well enginered trailer really.... it always seemed too long for the size of the metal used to me. I guess this event proves it. It was only hauling compost... if you heaped it up, after pressing it down with the bucket you'd be hard pushed to get 7t or so on that trailer as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
