Gav836 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Another of our contract farms new purchases, they don't like old stuff in their yard so they've bought 2 top of the line 18 ton grain trailers with roll over sheets, floatation tyres, hydraulic tail doors, and one with ABS and air brakes for the new JD6920 auto power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Impressive kit you're getting delivered Gav...... Is that a Ben Burgess sticker on the trailer? I know, more to follow as well. It sure is, Bunnings are actually closer to us than Ben Burgess but we can't buy direct from them \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 That is a good idea with the hydraulic pipes there on the front - better than trailing along the ground :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 That is a good idea with the hydraulic pipes there on the front - better than trailing along the ground :D i thought most modern trailers had pipe holders on them ? nice trailer gav , but it's strange to see a small winding jack handle fitted instead of the drawbar shoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue is still their main colour but you can now have just about any colour you want now to match your tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a website but can't remember their address at the minute \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Looks a well built solid trailer, what does the warning sticker say on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I've yet to see another make of trailer with the same amount of steel and build quality that these ones have Richard Larrington. They are without doubt the best on the market, they kill a 515 going up an average hill empty!!! Nice pics though and they do look pretty robust it has to be said. Richard Western do a new 18t trailer now too, my mate had it on an 8360 and with the wieght on the drawbar it lifted the unballasted front end!!! Bit too much for a tractor in my opinion though, they are treading on turf heavily scrutinised by VOSA with LGV's but we have had this debate before so I'll leave it there. What's the tipping gear like on them Gav mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
