@milton-95 is that a 16 tonne one? Looks a good trailer, how steep does it tip? Is it commercial axles on springs? cheers

Well it custom built so im not sure but it holds 16 ton comfortably. It tippes quite steep aswell,not sure on angel but it steep enough. Yes 10 stud commercial axles on single leaf springs which are very stable.

Another option. A bit cheaper, doesnt look that big for 14t

No just heard the story about how it comes to be so clean as the salesman was trying to see would I buy
All I know about him was he bought it used it twice and didn't again all it carried was fertiliser

Is that the one in the link u put up on
page2?
, no I wouldn't say it's normal
. The worst part of it is it I'll make it a right pig to pull in a wet greasy field
and it won't be nice on the road
either no weight on the back wheels. Remember I pulled a bale trailer for a
while and the axles were set right in the middle of the trailer and it was
horibble it would bounce in the hitch and push the tractor all over the
place and it was dangerously unstable too.

No unfortunately not. Just a normal dumper style body .
Oh dear. All that advice and nobody mentioned JPM
Remember asking about dump trailers a couple of years ago on the Irish forum that had a linked from the old BFF.
JPM was not spoken of very highly on there at the time but I'm sure it will be perfectly capable for normal farmers use. I think they use them more like we would 6 and 8 wheel tipper lorries so a lot more expected of them.

Yes, pretty normal. They want to be like that to prevent tractor hitch overloading when full.

Quite like the look of these Richard Western heavy duty trailers, could be used for grain or muck or as a dump trailer http://richard-western.co.uk/stone-rubble-trailers.htm

Now then, We have run a herbst for 4 months a couple of years ago truly cheap and nasty. Even when new no grease could be got in the nipples many had too shorter drillings or rusted pins on assembly. That's my knowledge in a nut shell we use either a powered dumper or we put a 20 yd body on the hooklifts.
