Fenside MF Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I started this about 2 weeks ago as I wanted as small grain trailer and was thinking of painting it in griffiths colours with silver tims wheels. Any questions please fire away Quote
Deere-est Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Nicely done, will you keep super singles on it or change for the smaller agri tyres? Quote
alpinefocus Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Made a very good start, how about a 8 ton west? Quote
Richard de Florennes Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 very nice, exactly my taste of trailer! Quote
HenryMC Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 very nice little trailer and alpine focus a good idea of an 8 ton west Quote
Murray Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 i like it make it a griffith though bremner metalica made one on this forum it looks well Quote
Fenside MF Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 Deerest- I'll hopefully get some tim floatation tyres and rims for her Alpinefocus- Good idea,didnt think of that TM810-Your shortened marston grain and silage are what gave me the idea Quote

fendt-man-matty Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 looks great there, i think i would mind making a smaller one myself, so how or where abouts did you shorten it?? Quote
Fenside MF Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 looks great there, i think i would mind making a smaller one myself, so how or where abouts did you shorten it?? Thanks Matty,I shortened the front of the trailer body by cutting off the headboard part with an angle grinder and sanding and filing the body (and headboard off cut) to make sure that it was square when I stuck the headboard off cut back on as I wanted to keep the hydraulic door. And then shortened the rear of the chassis to the size of the body and repostioned the axles. Hope that helps a bit Quote
fendt-man-matty Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 ah right yep i can picture it in my head hard work that would be Quote
Tractorman810 Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 ah right yep i can picture it in my head hard work that would be no its pretty easy, just remember to cut all the bits straight and when you rejoin the rear end to the chassis strenthen it with plasitc inside the chassis rails, even a few bits of brass rods drilled and glues in there to, otherwise the tipper can force the end of Quote
farmernick06 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Thats a lovely little trailer well done mate Quote
Fenside MF Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Thats a lovely little trailer well done mate Thanks Nick I'm just waiting for the top coat of spray paint to dry now for reassembly by the end of the week Quote
Fenside MF Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 This trailer is now only going to be a protoype as they are a few things I think I could do better on a second build and I think I'll paint the trelleborgs white or silver Anyway I'd thought I'd put up some pics of it withe trelles and super singles on Quote
Fenside MF Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 thanks to Paul for the decals Quote

fendt-man-matty Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 fraser paint cost ?106 every 5 lites looks good 5 litres for a model Quote
Deerepower Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 5 litres for a model 5 litres for a lot of models :D Quote
Massey Boy Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 5 litres for a lot of models :D i just no how much it would cost for 5 litres because my boss just bought 5l for a real fraser trailer so just divide 106 by 5 to get 1 litre Quote
Deere-est Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 So what would you do again/differently then Jamie, I can't see anything obvious myself. Looks like a nice little trailer for the smaller acre carpet farm Quote
fendt-man-matty Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 i just no how much it would cost for 5 litres because my boss just bought 5l for a real fraser trailer so just divide 106 by 5 to get 1 litre i only needed 200ml Quote
