Houghton T35 - now with moving divider gate

[multi power]

That has got to be the best ever trailer for ease of loading

 

[Downtrodden Dad]

Mr Hall will be visible in that outfit

A moving divider gate. Very clever. What will they think of next!

 

[Wolds Beef]

I thought @JP1 was going to raffle one off! It would look nice with a Lincoln Red and a Lincoln Longwool on the side of It!!
Don't you think @yellowbelly .

Very smart trailers. I unloaded next to one the other week.

I was quite envious, really

As smart as these trailers look,are the as spacious as others inside? Where do you tie halters to?

Sheep decks? It would be a revelation!

Of course

They are also smooth sided and a lot of the single deck models are sold to show teams

Plenty have proper tie rings along the sides and on the bulkhead

Why the sarcy comment?

It was a collapsible gate at a fixed point to work on the two deck models and now they have a design that will perform a function that is common in many conventional stock trailers. The engineering and design is on a different level

I don't think it was a sarcy JP. The spin these companies sometimes put on something that's been about for decades from other manufacturers does make us all smile sometimes.

If it came from you I wouldn't take it as sarcy , I promise. The other chap has form I'm afraid

I have no connection with Houghton now but I would imagine that Steve posted that bit on the Houghton site because it was something many (obviously) regarded as an almost essential feature on stock trailers and had been told on many occasions beforehand, as opposed to saying it was anything new as a feature. It was recognised but not an easy design to achieve well and cost effectively in the T35 design.

If you look at Houghton and Plowman designs, they are still streets ahead of farmer 3500kg trailers. IMHO only Gamic are in that market, listening to customers and working hard to move the game forward. It's still tough when you have to save weight and come in at such low budgets.

I stand by my original remarks

Is the trailer pictured a twin deck???
If so where are the vents for the lower deck?

Wouldn't of said so doesn't look like enough room for there to be twin floors in the 3rd pic.

I'd of said so like you, but the m
comments suggest otherwise???

 

[Hilly]

I have had a few bulls of Mr Hall, must have paid to much lol, very smart!

No that one is a single deck

 

[General-Lee]

Must have fancy show sheep as most sheep farmers wouldn't buy a box without decks.

 

[Juggler]

Is this the chap that always advertised the Blue x Lim bulls in the FG?

Nice trailer that

 

[Sheep92]

Is that a 14ft trailer? Would they have the same space internally as the ifor dp120? Ours is nearing retirement
