Pingu Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Good prices? Nope not really MF 8240 - ?17500 (way below what was expected we were expecting 20,000+ cause of low hours) MF 3125 - 6700 (was in ok condition so not bad price for considering 8000 hours) Claas 405 - 28250 (not bad but could have been better) MF 6180 - 7500 MF 4270 - 11200 (about right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGEL FORD Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Armstrong & Holmes trailer, I expect. They advertised regularly in POWER FARMING magazine back in the 70's, usually picturing their plant carrying trailer, though they made grain ones aswell. I have a feeling they could have been taken over by LARRINGTON trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Ah right, cheers mucker. Saw the name, remembered it for a short while but had never heard of them before. Wondered if they were a farmers own or something. LARRINGTON now theres a trailer!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 They don't have look a solid trailer. A contractor down this way has a Larrington trailer and a whole fleet of 12 ton Weeks silage trialers, they all look good, and he doesn't have no problems from either make.

Deere-est Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I'm sure he doesnt but have a crawl round the chassis on a Larrington and check on the size of the single tipping ram.. . .. They are a mighty trailer. We tipped them over time and time again, righted them, reloaded and just arried on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I saw a 3065 with a trailer load of fert bags on yesterday along with a TM or a 60 series with a Gem sprayer, a TM/60series being loaded up with muck by a Cat TH62 loader, a 6160 parked having feed bags loaded by the driver. Also a Manitou backhoe loader with telescopic centre boom. Don't know the model number but I have seen two before. Looks very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
