Graham Edwards livestock trailers

[Sheep]

The new hudson looks like a very nice trailer - very well finished. No clue on build quality though.

It's a bad job when the GE factory is about 50 miles from me and I go to Wales to buy a ifor and you're coming all the way from Wales to here to buy a GE

I'd buy another Gamic before I'd buy an Ifor. I know Ifors hold their value well but that deck ramp is a proper faff!

We have an 04 ifor Williams dp 120 14 ft triaxel with sheep decks, have to say its a fairly good trailer to tow but its on its 3rd set of sheep decks as the mixture of pee, wood shavings and shite seem to rot away the hinges and make holes around where the hinges were, theyre a good trailer if your NOT hauling a few thousand sheep around the county we bought a small truck 2 years ago and never looked back.
Those gamic trailers seem a good job but never seen any in this country

When I win the lottery I'm going to buy a houghton

Gamic trailers is under new management and have moved to bigger premises and I understand they're building them a lot faster these days.

Me too. I might even buy one before then....

I would if I could justify it

Going back to the electric brakes, I think there may be a legal problem over here.
Just the rules being many years out of date.
Believe some can be operated independant of the foot brake, which would be a big help at times.
Tis time there was a complete overhaul of towing regs, proper braking and swan neck trailer hitch
be a real step foreward.. Would be a good time to do it now with LR stopping production.
None of the currently available pickups have a suitable chassis for mounting a decent hitch
at the back

Why do some trailers get a judder on when running empty, even on a smooth road? I have had this with several makes I've borrowed. I tow with an L200 and you can see the pickup body flexing between the back window of the cab and the load bay.

Hmm i dont think its the trailers that are the problem...

 

[S J H]

Yes,to me they look like a Dutch barn on wheels. Not to impressed with the strength of the chassis from the wheels back either.

Just my opinion tho!

Fair dos!

I've never heard someone question the strength of them before.

I've never seen one of those in the flesh but looking at those pics they look like a shipping container on wheels

I always think they look like a mini version of a lorry smooth sided container

Looks a bit rustic to me and draw bar looks a bit femmer

Rustic is probably fair but then every farmer wants something at a lower cost

Are they cheaper than other brands?

Are they cheaper than other brands?

Ifor are usually cheaper than GE , Nugent or Hudson equivalents

The Gamic lifting tray model sits in a niche segment alongside the Houghton T35. You're not comparing apples with apples on spec but it would be 2/3 the price , I'm reckoning ......

Don't worry what they look like, they're built like brick shithouses!

What does a T35 go for?

To be fair, I think you'd have to ask them
