Richard de Florennes Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hello, having used my blue Britains Marston silage trailer together with my New Holland tractor and New Holland combine, I came to the conclusion, that a silage trailer is not a realictic tool for transporting grain or is it a multi-purpose trailer? As I am not a farmer myself, any comments on usability of Marston trailers and especially the Britains one for transporting grain or alternative vehicles are very welcome, please. Thanks in advance for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi Britains still do the Marston trailer without the silage sides. At the moment they do a green or red version. The first version they done was in blue and they also done an orange version (both now longer in production) You might be able to pick up a blue version (without silage sides)from ebay. Hope this is a help to you. By the way the green version is ref no.40609 and the red version is ref no.40520 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 you can also get convos done like these, look more arround 8 / 10 ton versions, and some come with working roll over sheets to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 i've seen grain hauled in trailers with silage side on , i've also seen the same trailer with the axles torn off, approx an hour later as it happens \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Very good mjb, true. I think the UH trailer will be best for hauling grain, it is very detailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deerepower Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 very true Jez the U.H. cargo cp120 trailer would be better if it was for a display, but if your carpet farming then a britains marston would be better. Or should we get Gav to make one??? A baileys would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 The other thing with the Britains ACE trailers is that in real life the silage variant has a mesh back door If money wasn't an object I would hold out for a good conversion or scratch build like Sean says. You get the detail much closer to the real thing then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
