jdc Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Had a visit to the Marshall factory today and the digi-cam was playing up ( ) so only got a few pics outside. This one should appeal to a Mr Ferguson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Just raid petty cash. That's too petty at the moment John :D - I can see myself with one of those babies... so whats a marshall trailer like then mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Probably going to get the OT police on us here but they do look good and have improved over last few years. I fancy a new 10-12 tonner and its either Marshall or AS at the moment. The chassis are welded by a robot now so they are supposed to be even better.

I am pleased with mine... it's "light duty" but it holds a GOOD 8t of slurry and it does a fair bit of road work as well - Early days mind you I guess \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Can you phone for factory visits? Or is it only available to the "trade"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Baileys are excellent but expensive for the size I'm looking for. I'd guess the same applies to a Bunning's trailer, like Baileys they are very well made, especially when you stand them next to an AS one Interesting pics though John, must be over 10 years since I last went round Bunning's place here, the kit was a bit different back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 any chance they can do a run of 1:32's :D Did you ask about any models JDC? I assume any marshall badged ones have been conversions by possibly S D Frater ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Did you ask about any models JDC? I assume any marshall badged ones have been conversions by possibly S D Frater ? S D Frater has certainly done a few Marshall conversions that I can think of including rotary muck spreaders and bulk/grain trailers too mate......Don't think there has ever been a mainstream manufactured Marshall though...... \ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS135A DRIVER Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Can you phone for factory visits? Or is it only available to the "trade"? Give them a call and ask for Charles senior or Charles junior and I am sure you can get a look round the factory. I went on my own a while back and was given the full production line tour and was made very welcome by them after I told them I owned 4 of their trailers ( real ones ) Only have 2 now a QM10 and a BC 25 as I sold the other 2 last November Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
