JoshParkinson Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 a local farm has one of these and i think they look smart as and i had 2 britains trailers, an orange one and a blue one, so i swapped the tailboards and hey presto ! just going to swap the wheels for some flotations and put some wootton decals on it, does anybody know what colour the rims are on these trailers though ? never had a good look \ but here are some pictures of it so far on the back of a JD 6820, just like real life, will update it when it has the new wheels and decals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masseyjack590 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 that looks good with some new wheels it'll look good i scratch built an older one last year but it wasn't that great as it was my first scratch build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshParkinson Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 yep, the pictures are off my phone so they aren't the best either ! needs some new decals as well i think as marston decals on a wootton trailer don't exactly look right, and the road wheels really do look silly, don't know why britains use them, a pair of flotations like the siku branter power tube look much better ! they are the wheels im going to use i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Looks good mate Wootons are now made by marston anyway so the design isnt that much different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshParkinson Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Looks good mate Wootons are now made by marston anyway so the design isnt that much different yepp, the basic bodywork is exactly the same, just a different paint job on the tailboard along with a different name on the side !

JoshParkinson Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 haha ino what you mean about the wheels in the end i 1 side under a board stood on the board then just twisted the wheel yep, well i just tried some siku branter power tube tyres on it, and they seem to fit quite well its just a bit fiddly to get them sitting right, so i can just paint the rims and fit the new tyres, you wouldnt have any power tube tyres to spare or know where i can get some would you ?
