fendt-man-matty Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 well here is my latest project... it's a 12 ton marston trailer, hopefully goign to be a 9/10 ton fraser trailer. ive seen this done by sean and jamie, so give them the credit but i shortened the body, took the tail gate off, then i made a better looking drawbar, no pics of it yet. oh and one thing, should i spray it the actual fraser green or should i spray it in JD green? JD green would be easier \ but you's decide \ this is where i joined the chassis together, i put a bit of metal in to support it, but i think il put another bit in \ what you's think?

fendt-man-matty Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 good job are you doing silage sides for it? no it's just going to be a grain trailer, before i did this to it, it was just the normal grain trailer with out silage sides so... \ dont have any sides to put on her and im going to make the tailgate sort of manual, and i would love to make a grain hatch on it for when im blowing the grain into the drier \ but i will probably make a right mess of it nice job! thumbs up! thanks mate, positive comments keep me going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenside MF Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 looking good so far Matty ,are you going to keep it on the super single wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 looking good so far Matty ,are you going to keep it on the super single wheels thanks, yea they're staying, they look prety much the same as the real ones, almost this here is the sort of trailer i'm basing it on, obviously wont be the same body style but hey, i think it's better than the usual marston 12tonne trailer for farmers with 3000acres of crop!! :D and heres todays work, made a drawbar out of wood, shaped it, filed it, sanded it, loved it then got hooked up with it :D i know it realy isnt great but you have to start somewhere!! still have to put a better tailgate on but what do you's think of it so far?

Jez Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Looks great, an excellent start to conversions!!! Maybe make a pipe holder for the front and it will look ace. I personally would of gone for a thinner drawbar but yours looks fine. A touch of paint and get it rolling!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDeereMan Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 looks good, how did you cut the metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
