FNHIR Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 My first attempt at a scratch-built trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 That'll look well on the back of a Ford 7710 2wd. just a single axle will it be mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Yeah, single axle on this one, dimensions similar to a Britains Claas trailer, I might get brave and do a bigger double-axle if it turns out okay! Probably going to paint them red, a la Lee trailers, which SPN did so well before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 SPN's layout looks like your idea of heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNHIR Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 After much procrastination I've finally gotten around to building a fairly simple chassis for this, tonight will be spent getting the tipping action and door working properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshParkinson Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I like this, a nice small trailer that isn't as complicated as the nasa control panel, lovely job, what you going to use to make it tip? Small rams or just something like what the old britains trailers have where you turn a little metal thing job to tip it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNHIR Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Must still do the door (didn't buy enough plastruct angle today :'( ) and sort out hitch and hydraulics, but just threw on a first coat to see how she looked. Happy enough, though the set-square is still causing me a few problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 looks a tidy little trailer, i asume its going to be a lee one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNHIR Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Didn't have access to a real Lee for measurements and probably won't be able to get decals, so I'll officially describe it as 'Based on a Lee', the way that pubs have posters for U2 (in massive writing) and then tribute written tiny!
