Do you want to know what it is worth? Or what you need to bid to be sure to get it ?

A very clever question, it is worth what someone will bid for it

It's probably "worth" £500 but could easily make £1000 if someone really wants it

Slightly OT, but does anyone make replacement beds for weekes trailers? I could do with replacing the bed on a couple I have that are used for livery manure.

Slap some ply over or similar if it's just for a livery yard?

From memory the beds are made from many 'C' sections welded together so difficult to repair. A 10' x 5' steel sheet bolted to the remains would work for livery muck. I'd probably wax in between though else the rust would just accelerate!

Did mine out of 3 mm cheq plate and put new cross nesters in not too hard a job

Its gone beyond that
I bodged it up during haymaking to get through the summer, need a full replacement bed now, just wondered if any of the farm workshop experts fancied a winter project? Just need a flat bed built from scratch, with the slots for the posts, I would sort the sides, thats within my welding skills

I rebuilt my 5 ton trailer which was an enjoyable task. I bought an inverter welder for the job. I used 6" 'C' section RSJ's for the rear & 3" for the sides. The actual body was ok but getting the original rusty floor off the outriggers isn't a job to be recommended with many skin burns from the gas axe! I went for 5mm floor.
Yes a totally new floor would be great, you could recess the lights plus bring them up to modern spec with side markers & use LED units. Plus allow for hay bolsters & other add-ons.
