To be honest Mike, I must have had them 30 years or so now, when I was younger I used to collect leaflets from everywhere, writing to manufacturers, sending off the cards in 'what's new in farming', (I wish that was still on the go!), local shows and best of all when the local tractor salesmen used to call in, so in all honesty I have no idea where they came from!

I actually wrote to Henton trailers and got a brochure back. My dad has allot, he had a account with the local John Deere dealer when he was contracting he got allot from them in the post he said. And then the others come from shows as you were saying. Most brochures are accessible online now via the manufacturers website. However it’s only the newer stuff, handy if you need anything though.

IH885XLMAN Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Im still after the trailer thats real low Wooden flat bed (i say flatbed loosely as it was so low the rear had square wooden arches set in so flush with overall trailer width ) i think it was desighed for orcherds vineyards and arable farms for potatoes bags and boxes the bed was only two foot off the ground so it was easy to pick spud bags off the field and onto the trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what these smaller ones are like and wether there worth it I like them Sam, in fact I hardly ever use an electric drill now. I find that I have much more control and accuracy using these and you can hold small bits of plastic in your hand and drill them without putting a hole in your fingers!

Tractorman810 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 i tend to use a small 10.8 v Bosch drill building stuff, its a lot smaller than the normal 18 v i used to use, i only use the hand drills on really fine parts, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we had a mouse(past tense) that had found its way into the house under the sink, looking at its droppings I think maybe I should have kept him captive until he'd done enough to fill the trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
