Just to add to this, we checked the new Ktwo trailers at Lamma and the standard suspension they fit now are the smaller springs. We raised our concerns with them and the reason they changed was to fit a spring set up that uses a tie bar as the previous suspension was causing the first axle to skip under heavy braking when empty. They say the new springs are rated for the same weight but as we have seen they give a lot more than the older setup on banks, it's still possible to spec a new trailer with the old springs so take note if your ordering a new one or buying a second hand trailer.

If there only for grain do you even need a hydraulic back door ?

Yes. Not only does it save time anything that means you have to get out the cab less can only add to operator safety.

If you ever sell it second hand it adds a lot of value too. I would also spec no flat surfaces on the back of the chassis, so grain doesn’t sit on it after you tip.

AW,we have bought four,3 grain and 1 bale trailer in recent years.Pleased with them plus the fact we are only 5 miles from the factory makes life easy if you need something done.

Nice to see someone supporting their local economy too.
We got a Ktwo with
load sensing on air & hydraulic circuits, & a roll tarp (natty system using one crank handle at the front which takes about 10 seconds at ground level). Hydraulic tailgate locks into tabs, & added security of a sprung valve which shuts off the oil unless the bed is raised. A pleasant trailer to use

What’s a GX 16-21 Stewart worth new? Was at a auction yesterday where with commission must’ve been 19k

It was at least sensible money. The other Bailey was strong money too for condition

We really rate our DRT trailer which we got in 2018. 16t on LS Air and LS Hydraulics on commercial axles with 420x180 brakes, 18 ton suspension set up, 21m3 capacity, 560/60 tires with all Led lights, high levels and pulser. We also run a 32ft straw trailer with similar specs to this. The rear door is hydraulic with thickened lugs and solid round bar to lock it in place (Seen others which just use plates which could bend) as well as having an inline hydraulic valve which locks the rear door hydraulics when the body is down. This means that unless there's operator error that door isn't open. Unladen the trailer weighs 5.4t which is comparable to all other reputable manufacturers building high end trailers. I understand one of the comments about paintwork running and there are a couple of spots like that on ours, but the most important thing is that the paint work quality is excellent and both of our DRT trailers have no flaking, are very durable and the straw trailer that stands outside all year hasn't faded (3 years old) (Think the paint is made for Californian UV levels but not 100%). I also understand some of the points that have been made about them being a more old school design, but from what I've seen, they've taken the best bits of the reliable old triffitt design and added improvements such as one piece floors to prevent material build-up, pulsers built into reliefs in the main frame so they can't get knocked easily etc. All of these little improvements are fairly simple, but they require a lot of work and labour to implement them which costs money, and for the cost of a DRT (prefer not to say the exact price but well under £20k brand new and was less than many 2 year old second hand big name brands at the time in 2018) we felt you couldn't go wrong. There also just down the road from us so we have great backup and they'll try to make a trailer for any unique requirement (Take a look at their FB page and their flat potato box trailer with hydraulic gangways/clamps, it’s just a fair thing!). In general we find it a simple, strong design with lots of useful ‘farmer proof’ ideas that’s also build for modern high speed, large load agricultural haulage.
that’s about new money I would say but price is very special dependant on a Stewart
this is one reason we bought Stewart - low depreciation so maybe expensive to buy but probably the cheapest to own !

it was 2 yrs old and had either had 2 or 4 loads of grain in it. Paint still on floor etc
