Lord Ferguson Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I was totally disappointed with the Britains flatbed trailer I got from Andy the other day, so upon discussion with my farm toys adviser we decided to approach my first convo... No sniggering up the back of the class either you big boys or I'll throw the towel in and never convo again - perhaps we could put Kentmans Weeble sprayer on here? :D - Quite a few pics to post Lycos permitting... Anyway here it is... dar de de der der der dar....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 Underneath... had to lengthen the drawbar so the bed now fits 4 of my spud boxes longways on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 That looks great Marky......Have you extended it too, to allow another set of boxes to go on the end? Like all of the Britains Flat-Beds it just has to be painted into the Blue and White colours of my local trailer company Ron Gardiner now...... ;) You just answered my question now......Got there before I asked...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Trailer looks good Marky, infact for your first convo it looks brilliant!! The only thing I would have added to that is a couple of small sections of vertical box section on the back end so you can slot a rack in for when you use it for bales. ?
