FW Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 They are actually siku silage blocks, sprayed black. I'm looking to buy an agrium silage grab to move them about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see that the Britains trailer holds something without any left over space...even if they didn't make them :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 looks great,did it i take long to make the ladders,/fit them? i want that merlo! role on spalding. ive just built a trailer to go behind my jd3200 (added a draw bar), ive used a bergman spreader chassie with the front axle cut off and added yellow tim toy flotation trailer tyres, single axle, then made my own bodie out of wood (kindly supplied by 4c) and sprayed it green to look like a bailey/green triffit with a 5ton aprox carrying capacity (10 britains bags) may fit my hiab on it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I havn't fixed the hoses down yet, no. Any suggestions??? ??? Take a look at Seans (TM810's) trailer conversions - he makes a pipe stand that is really good.... if not just a piece of small soild plastrut box with a 1mm hole in it for the hose would look good fitted to the headboard in my opinion... what am I talking about - mine looks crap compared to yours anyway - well done that man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redchrishardy Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 THe metallic green looks very nice, what type / make of paint did you use?? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi, the paint is Tamiya TS-20 and found in most model shops, just watch you don't get the one for those remote control car kits, because that eats into the plastic. Why do you ask, are you going to attempt the conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMurF Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 nice convo just a shame about the hitch did you glue the damn thing so it won't turn anymore hitch is one of the worst things britains/ertl did to cross comply with the different styles of tractor hitches \ still you did a grand lob farmer will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 No, I have left the hitch as it was. I am thinking of changing it into a more realistic, pick-up hitch style, any ideas? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redchrishardy Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 hi thank you for the paint code, i dont think im going to attempt the trailer but was thinking of using the colour on some older implements that need touching up. I dont know much about the trailer hitch but maybe you could put one of those swing trailer supports under the drawbar instead of the box section, would add to the trailer! only a thought, i dont know how difficult it is to come across these? but would make the pickup hitch look more of the part! any trailer drawbar tips, hitchs and swing supports??
