You get what you see with a trailer,no engines gearbox etc it is what it is!

Look after them and it's like money in the bank.
That’s where I’m going wrong, every single trailer we’ve ever had rusted away! No trailers here now, come on the back of someone else’s tractor! :LOL: One of which is a KTwo!

They lost a court case over patent to grasshopper mowers.
They had to stop making mowers and binned all the spares.
Left me and plenty others high and dry
Didn't worry me, I stuck with Grasshopper!
Still got one here with a nylon brush conditioner on the back that gets occasional use. There's times when it's the right tool for the job.

Terry was the designer for Caulfields then decided to steal the design and rename it, I used to see him at Agritechnica on a quiet Saturday before the show stealing Fliegels ideas alongside Larrington with a good camera.

The Jamaicans have an expression that roughly means ‘you can pissssss in the river all you want but at some point you will need to take a drink’.
They certainly pee'd on anyone who bought their mowers. Good machines but they nocked off the patent and got caught which is bad luck, but why bin all the spares?
All the spare gearboxes were sold to an Austrian company , and it wasnt easy or cheap getting one

Strange, most gearboxes are Italian and easily found. Cannot think ktwo used anything over and above the basic.

Yes, Paul is the son, his enthusiasm and knowledge for the spreaders was one of the main reasons I bought them
His ‘’enthusiasm’’ to try and fckkkkk the mother ship at any available turn May of been a contributing factor in their demise, he eloped to Heath then of to some Devon lad to make trailers then a polish lot for muckspreaders so his integrity is similar to a hyena.
