Pingu Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 That does look like some lovely black fen soil there mark and keeps getting bigger :D but nice trailer there perfect for that job but that drawbar looks as those its had plates welded around the drawbar like its cracked or shearded and plated back together Or is that way it supposed to be mark?

Lord Ferguson Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 I'm told it was a common fault on this trailer... it's been extensively repaired (very well to be fair).. judging by the springs and pins on the rear axle it's done PLENTY of hard work in it's time I think \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Nice one Marky........Frankie's keeping busy then........ The boss is looking at two 14 tonne Herron's just now to do a bit of hiring out, might make an interesting change........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 well... it's a nice day down here in sunny Cambridgeshire... so I thought I'd 'pop over' and get a load of my super, award winning sooty black topsoil.... so here we go... I've not sold this one... but at least I have it ready for when I do... probably won't sell it now for 100 years and it will rot the bottom of the trailer out :'( :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 You could always go and dump it in Barrys Garden :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 I like that idea Addy... bit to far though for me... and it would be better if it was some stinky chicken poo or something really \ :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON. Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Shouldn't really leave a trailer loaded like that marky for any length of time puts unnecessary pressure on the axles wheels etc :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 I've found a new use for Frankie in the last few days... my mate next door is clearing out his unit to sell... I've been compacting his skip with the bucket... you'd be amazed at home much it packs down with the loader :o It doesn't look like it but the fronts are off the ground there I took a look over my Bailey today and found this - new tyre coming up me thinks :'( :'( and finally... here is 'pile 1' of my topsoil... I must have had 20-25 12t loads out of this heap... it's not made much of a dent really has it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 have to agree with matty, seen a lot worse than that on a trailer tyre, and they went for years like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/32 farmer Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 iv seen a lot worse tyres as well (got worsetyres) on the telehandler at work and i still have to lift 3.5 tonnes on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I woudnt worry aboyut the tyre or using frankie to push down marky. I no its smaller but we always use the kubota witht he front wheels off the ground and push down with the bucket never had a probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 I've been looking at this today (with a view to buying one MAYBE).. It's a soil screening machine... I'm getting quite into this now... I've sold 80t for collection tomorrow (4x20t tippers),,, and It's looking like I may well be able to shift a fair chunk more... IF I get it screened I can turn it from a cheap. basic 'as dug' product into a much higher value product... I've recently purchased the hopper to load into 1t bags, so I'm looking to see if I can create a high premium product ... anyone with experience of this line of work please feel free to give me the benefit of your wisdom... FREE of charge of course :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 1 ton dump bags should sell well mate, most down here are bulk loads, but i for one only need 1 ton to re-lay my turf and fill / re do the flower beds down the sides.but how will you deliver that, ton bag will need a flat bed unless you hook them of the back of the baileys with the pallet tines??

Lord Ferguson Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 I think I may well short term hire a 7.5t with a HIAB mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 cheaper to off load with the pallet tines if your still local aint it??? or you spreading further afield now :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 cheaper to off load with the pallet tines if your still local aint it??? or you spreading further afield now :D well... I am considering the idea of national via palletways perhaps Sean... not sure what to do with it as yet... all I know is that I need it screened first of all \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
