jdc Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 They used to say they would spray any colour you wished, but AS Blue and MF red seemed to be most popular up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 mf red john,is it that close to mf red is it?,was seriously thinking of getting the britains kane grain trailers john for my layout,but it is a trailer i have never seen working in the uk,i know very very popular in ireland,hence for realism going for marstons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ploughmaster Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Marston Agricultural Services will paint a trailer in any colour according to customer wishes (as most trailer manufacturers will), and red is most probably a special order colour to match someones tractor fleet (probably for a farm running MF or Case-IH tractors) - MAS have certainly painted some trailers in John Deere green with yellow wheels by special request of customers with JD tractors. Of course, back in the 1980's, Massey Ferguson sourced most of their 200 series trailers from AS Trailers as they were then known, and of course these left the factory in red with silver wheels. Most of the main colours they use nowadays relate to the trailer brands that MAS own and market trailers under:- AS Trailers/Marston, Collins and Salop - Blue Gull Trailers - Yellow Griffiths - Orange Wootton - Blue and Orange ECE - Green However, it is not unusual to see a brand decal on the 'wrong' colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Trac Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The Kane trailers aren't so popular down here. Mostly see Broughan, Smyth, Dooley and Thorpe trailers. Will Britains sell many as it is a targeted market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Trac Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I have never seen one down here at all. There are so many trailer manufacturers here, Thorpe, Smyth, Deery, Broughan, Dooley. Also see the odd Larrington but I must admit I have not seen a Kane. There are a few Redrocks knocking about. This is mainly a tillage, silage area.

Claaspower Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Redrocks Kanes and Herrons most popular here in the west,I never seen a Dooley until I was in the Meath Kildare area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue man Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Redrocks Kanes and Herrons most popular here in the west,I never seen a Dooley until I was in the Meath Kildare area. You`d see absolutely everthing down here,Herrons,Kanes,Redrocks,Thorpes,Dooleys,Smyths ,Broughans I even seen a couple of english trailers like a few Baileys and Marston Grain Trailers.I`d say the Kanes will sell well as they are probably the most popular contractors trailer Edited February 11, 2012 by Blue man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If it's realism you want Paul, I wouldn't go for the Britains Marston trailers, they're a let down. I'd recommend Dan (three oaks) for Richard Western and Marston or Andy (Big A) for his Stewarts. Either are worth the money. On a separate note, saw a Kane in Bucks last week being pulled by a Fendt 718. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
