Brother got a new 14ft Ifor last week with decks,dividing gates,etc sure he said £5300 without trade in.

The waiting list made me order one though @hally , I can’t see it losing money if they are restricting production, and how many firms do you know that have gone bust by growing too quick? I expect the demand might fall if people aren’t changing as often as the other trailers.

Anyone know what the unladen weight of the gamic is compared to similar Ifor?

Look at a lot of the good sprayer manufactures, Bateman/Sands have 2 year build with almost 3 year on some models/specs. Househam went from almost 2 years to 1 year and lost more customers after that due to not being made to the same standard. Says a lot ?

When you collect it you should order another then in 12-18month you have a nearly new trailer to sell no waiting can name your price and set off with your new one again having enjoyed 12-18month free trailering
,
? It’s never free though, price will have inevitably gone up but for a heavy user it might be no more than an ifor with the benefit of the lifting decks. Tbh the lead time doesn’t bother me know because my ifor is still adequate but long lead times will rule some guys out if theirs has been damaged,knicked or simply need a bigger one but all good things come to those that wait.

do you not know the price when you order?

Like you say the price will go up so anybody that goes to order when your new trailer is ready will have a price of more than what you've paid for the one you've just got so to them your old trailer at your new trailers price and available immediately will be less than what they'll be paying for there's and having to wait

Your trailer =£9000 on collection you order another =£10000 when that's ready Joe bloggs is pricing one and told £11000 +12-18month wait. You have your £9000 trailer forsale for £9500 at 12-18 month old Joe bloggs thinks he's saving £1500 and getting it immediately everyone's a winner (in theory)
I see, yes it will look to be a good buy once you have bought your first one ( bit like your fendt ) but the first one can be painful......but it’s only money?

My fendt wasn't to painful but trying to replace it was

I did think that, I think mines gone up in money, and it hasn’t been built yet.

Definitely not a ifor they are made from marshmallows theses days.Leave it where it is and get a bulk deal on 3 Ifors and make a road train
Going to look at a G Edwards power deck trailer they look not to bad.
Or a Hogg tractor drawn trailer with hydraulic decks

We have had them for years. My 12 foot hauls two loads of cattle and 2 decks of lambs to abattoir most weeks as well as much work around farm. In fact hardly ever off pick-up. Don't really have a problem with them and I'm sure they are the lightest unladen on market.
