IAINH1973 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Bought this Deutz Fahr Britains trailer in a scrap heap on EBAY . New back door and silage sides added. I have never seen this trailer with grey wheels . The limited pictures I have seen are all yellow like the forage harvester. Was this a variation? I have no reason to believe they have been changed.

simon 2.05 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Here is one in a set. It's a set from Evert Nijssen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think the late MF red silage tipping trailer had a black chassis, silver/plain tipper handle and silver/grey wide tyre wheels, to me the green looks too dark to be authentic Britains Deutz although the forager is right, perhaps the trailer was painted to match it unless both the trailer and forager were a set, which I've never seen, possibly made for outside the UK market? I would like to see David Pullen or someone put together and publish a book on Britains sets, we've yet to see any books on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 looks ok to me, the green looks dark down to the spotless white top on it. maybe try a source a older one of someone?? I have the yellow wheeled one, plus a spare body / chassis, but the lift rams missing, if I can find one I will rebuild it as the grey wheeler, as its missing the wheels anyway, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silage sides are middling in white colour compared with my other unboxed trailers.

BC Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I have set No 9643 and it has the yellow wheel rims on the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 You kept that one quiet Bill! A nice find/set. I bought a loose set a few years ago, kept the trailer and forage harvester but sold on the tractor as surplus. My trailer also has yellow wheels. This colour variation, below, came with grey wheels and apparently, as told me by a dealer, also came in the Deutz set but I have never seen one. A member on here has an individually boxed one, can't remember if it is with silage top though A Shepton Mallet purchase last year, I had to buy a red MF200 trailer for the tailgate and lift mechanism as both were long gone, decals, not added here yet, came form Dave Towse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 You kept that one quiet Bill! A nice find/set. Quiet Bill...never been called that before Paul....but there is a first time for everything On a more serious note I acquired this set a couple of years ago and is my most expensive boxed set in my collection. In my article in Issue 24 of MODEL Farmer on Britains Gift Sets Part 4 Andy Ebbage said "An excellent example of this set typically sells between £ 130 and £ 240"....I hope I achieve the higher valuation when I come to sell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I have that one to, more a lime/aw trailers green ,yes there is a boxed one on here to, but its not mine, like you I had to source a new tailgate via a scrap lot on ebay, but it did come with the original decals, I also have a manure spreader that's a very similar green to this trailer, deffinataly not the usual green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 here you go paul, its definitely a lot lighter than normal, more like the mf 200 trailers we have, it came in a scrap lot I bid on for another part, didn't really take any notice in the auction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
