MODELFARMER Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Ok I'm looking to but a new trailer this summer, grain use, might get silage wings if they cheap but unlikely, I'm lookin a 10 or 12 tonner Ideally it would be a drop wing as it makes the trailer twice as usefull but not really necessary, had a look around an 18ft redrock yesterday, I think i'll stick to a 16ft model, easier in tight lanes and gates etc . .. . Whats anyones opinion between the two trailers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERRY Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 KANE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! far more practical for the average farmer kane are light and durable trailers and look good redrock are heavy bulky trailers that get stuck easily ;) ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margerisons Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I agree with Berry here.Kanes are durable and light weight redrocks are very heavy and can get stuck easily.I would go for a kane aswell maybe you should put up a poll for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MODELFARMER Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Weight not really a problem, i'll only be in dry fields when cutting wheat or barley plus they'll only be pulled with nothin under 140horse power and i'm only looking a 10 or maybe 12 tonner I think i'll put on the wide terra tyres depending on the price Our 10t fraser is a 15ft model with 4ft high sides, nice trailer, somethin similar size i think, I like this roll on cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noel Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 may be stupid but whats wrong with maston \ I don't think they are common on this side of the pond. The three most common trailers are 1. Kane 2. Herron 3. Redrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fendt-man-matty Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 redrock, kane and herron are all great trailers \ but ide go for a kane, they might even spray it in JD colours if you like(or have a big wallet) a diggerman up the road from me got kane to paint his 18T dump trailer in fendt colours well it's wrecked now but herron are prety much the same as kane, but kane would be my first chioce but then again i would buy a fraser trailer, but the factory is flattened :'( may be stupid but whats wrong with maston \ he's looking a more local trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
