Tractorman810 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 well been at it again with the angle grinder today ,came up with this,not saure if i have gone to low on the sides to be honest ,as i don't see any root trailers down here i just cut 1.5 cm of the origonal height,added a mesh header board,and self opening tailgate,she's not finished yet,still needs a second coat of paint and new decals,but thought i would see what you all thought what do you all think about the height??

Gav836 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Very nice, not far out on the height side of things at all. 1cm off the top of the body may be enough though, seems to vary slightly between manufacturers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 root crop trailers down here are very rare,most farmers just use there grain ones,so i was unsure about the height,i may well just remove 1cm next time as it does look a little low but not majorly out yes shes started ben but ran out of wheels for no,awaiting news on some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have a copy of the Richard Western brochure in my tractor at work, if it would be of any help to you i could scan you a copy of the root trailers page with all of the dimensions on. As i said it doesn't look far out at all, just maybe a little short compared to the one we have at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
