Tractorman810 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 been decided at ash tree farm that we needed a new grain trailer, so we have gone for a new mf 200 monocoque body 6.5ton trailer, has twin rams and the added grain shoot on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 very nice Sean, got any spares ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 however after a lot of though it has been decided that we are going to dip into the silage business ,mainly the haulage side as a local contractor for some of the other farms arround, so after a lot of barganining we have persuaded the mf dealer to throw a set of silage sides in, with self opening tight- on door mech to, make the trailer a lot more usable arround the area all scratch built form plasti card, andto scale from the mf brouchure although i am tempted to add a second axel and make it a 7 ton one as the bodys and chassis /lenght are identical, what do you all think?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
