Got one today. Was on a decent concrete floor and just pushed spreader onto tractor to hitch it on.

Two new bodies for grain trailers

 

[Vincent]

Did you make them or get them made. I have a 12x7 that I would like to put a similar type body on.

 

[pellow]

I am making them, got an Marston Ace 12 ton and a Warwick 12 ton with rotten bodies, going to reuse the chassis and put new running gear on, got a welder here helping me, the labour bill is probably going to exceed the price of the steel and new running gear

Not cheaper just to buy new ones ?

 

[Fendt516profi]

Put old one in a farm sale and there'll half pay for new ones

 

[pellow]

I'll put the costs up when I've finished them, looks like it will be 30% of the price of new trailers

Bit more done

 

[Zebbedee]

Yea be interesting to know what it costs you as new trailers seem a lot of money for what they are, looks good by the way ?

After continually getting pushed to one side on the to do list I finally finished my adapter frame for pin and cone to 3pt linkage.

Last picture was it in testing in the summer.

Grain pusher made last harvest
Blade is 2750x1200
Extension is 4m long
all s355 box section 80x80x5
Main blade is 5 mm StrenX 700mc

Good job.
If you are going to use it on a wooden floor put a bit of steel tube/pipe on the bottom. It stops it digging in and will slide along the floor well.

Smart.
I've start buying those brackets in 2 seperate pieces. Big saving on the proper ones

Hmmm. The chalk line down the middle would suggest you found the centre line and measured out from there? I bet you used a real tape as well?
On the bodges thread the heathens would have used string with a knot in every inch

Or buy the whole brackets marry them up to the implement and tack them on.

I've had a part made one in the corner for ages, just trying to decide whether to put a tip ram on, then working out how I would do it

I've pics saved of hydraulic top link on pc. It was made from 2 hydraulic rams side by side (but facing opposite ways). They opened out to 2.5 times their closed length.
Does anyone remember who did it?
