Graham Edwards 20ft tractor drawn box.

[Stw88]

Has anyone got one of these? Been to see a Lagan box today but seams dear for its age although it’s in good condition. For 5k more I can have a brand new one of these that should last a long time. Also like the 7ft width as we have some tight spots to get into.

Fella near here runs one. Does a sh.t load of miles with it. His 2 places are 18 miles apart. Still looks fairly fresh after 7/8 years .
Not aware of any issues build wise

Neighbour just got something similar. Have to check what make it is & what he thinks of it.

I have one with sheep decks. Good trailer for the money, 7ft wide handy to reverse and narrow gate ways. Also not too heavy so no need for a big tractor to tow

How much is one of those if you don’t mind?

 

[Stw88]

Will mainly just be for shifting cattle but for 2k extra might as well get the decks as well, often lead ewes back out to the fell up a rough track and it will be better than rattling the pick-up and trailer up the track. Have a 22” bale trailer with heavy axels in that was bought in mind with putting a container on but think it will be too difficult to get into certain spots especially without having some one to guide you which most of the time I haven’t got.

Know of someone who got a TuffMac trailer made in 7' width. Not sure of the additional cost.
Do you want fully Galv?

Done much pricing around?

Do they do the lift out decks in a trailer that size

I’ve no idea tbh, hydraulic ones would be the best

My lagan was rotten by 10 years old, galv always the best option

The 'power deck' is still a wind away setup

I wouldn’t entertain the wind up ones….seen too many not working

We have an old graham edwards for the pickup and as much as i hate the steepness of the ramp the wind-away decks have been fine. Easiest if theres 2 of you tho. It wont be often there pulled out i dont think.

Off topic slightly but I have just priced up a GE tri axle livestock trailer. Looks a good deal, are they any good. Always ran Ifor here. Thanks

Demount? If so yes great, they never snake around. Put as many as you like in they never look overloaded, I change the trailer about every 4-5 years but get two trailers out of a container. That alone saves a fair bit, the flat bodies hold their value well

Just get a Stewart……you know you want to

I have an 18 ft one about 20 years old. Decks concertina up to the front with the help of the iron bar it's supplied with.
