Deere-est Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 There is usually a piece of strong rubber along the bottom attached to the door, why I don't know though Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 is it to let the water run out if its wet \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 i asked the same question a while back, and i think nath said it was to do with the tipping part, stops it dragging to much grass with it or getting stuck in the pile from memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 It's there so your neighbours will know when you are cutting silage as you'll leave bits on the road and then they will start to panic and cut there's then in a big rush :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich.new holland Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 its to stop it the door hitting ground when tipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 yes thats correct.if the tailboard was that little bit longer it would get caught on the ground when the trailers is fully tipped up.then you end up with a tailboard that looks like an S.not very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstarâ„¢ Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Beat me to it chaps. I've only ever seen it on: Kane Redrock Stewart Trailers though, are there others then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Ive only ever seen Fraser, Marshall and Redrock. Only on normal top hinge doors though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 i have seen it on all sorts, marston ect ,what brian says does make sense when you think about it i guess, although thinking aint my strong point :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Ive only ever seen Fraser, Marshall and Redrock. Only on normal top hinge doors though. Makes sense as the up and over doors wouldn't come near the ground so no gap needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Exactly. . . But isnt there a convo on here of a trailer with up and over door with a gap? Didnt think it was right but didn't want to say. . . So. . . Scott said it not me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
