Depends on the manufacturer. Some will build to your specifications, others only do standard builds.

I always put it down to EU help and support, I thought in Ireland they used the EU money to try to get businesses going (knowing some would make it, others fail, but overall it would help the rural economy), here in the UK we used EU money to get consultants to do reports, so the only people who benefited from the structural funding were the consultants, or if a scheme was implemented it was so full of rules people did not bother. I remember at work, we did some things for an EU scheme, and just had to put so many hours a week towards this scheme (and a diary entry to tie in with the hours), but actually did no different, so the money really was no help at all ~ I think that basically is the British bureaucrats reason structural funding did no help here at all.
I wouldn't think too many of the engineering shops started on the back of an EU grant. They may have availed of some when they got going but id say a lot of these firms started off very small and grew through their own effort.

To me a dumper type trailer with removable silage sides would be like a haybob, can do two jobs but not necessarily that well.

Haybobs do both jobs well, just not quivkly
How would a dump trailer with high sides removed not be a good dump trailer?
Ditto with grain sides on?

Old set of silage sides works well here, holds more than the 14 ton trailer sat next to it and it's handy for tipping in low sheds because its a shorter trailer.

No , to qualify for grants you have to be creating a new product or at least a product that’s not being made already in the country, they don’t give grants to start making products in competition to similar already being made in the country. It also has to have export potential to qualify.

Surely a trailer strong enough to be used successfully as a dump will be unnessecarily heavy to be used to haul silage. And a trailer that is built to compromise between the two is going to be under great stress when hauling stone or into the axles in clay with full loads on.
Still be better than nothing I suppose but not ideal.

Some silage trailers I have seen about used to wobble plenty enough with just grass or wet maize in them!

Everything is s compromise, unless you won the lotto
A load of silage aint that heavy actually.
And i have seen many grain trailers destroyed by overloading with soil
Local contractor bought one recently , very well built.
Dealer had them up for €32k (Ireland) plus vat on Facebook.
