Houghton T35 - now with moving divider gate

[Happy]

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

Probably just because of the dividing gate bit being the headline point of the post I should think.
As You say it's just a common function on most trailers and has been for many years now so not really a major selling point worth shouting about.

You'd have gotten away with it if you had just said pics of best super duper trailer on the market.........ever

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

Nice trailer that

Yes very good stockman

 

[Juggler]

Yes very good stockman

Thought so, I used to breed ped Blue & Lim bulls and often thought he had the right idea crossing them instead of breeding pure.

Thanks. I have no connection with Houghton now but when I did it was a big issue that there was mo moving gate, so I think they are quite right to point it out now

When you look at a Plowman moving gate in a wagon, it is a great piece of engineering with a lot of thought going in to it.


There will always be the farmer who says "can't you just ....." or the home fabricator who makes something for himself. I look from the other side and see just how much is involved in a properly thought through design

I take your point but I think in this instance the headline is appropriate for dispelling a previous perception or objection argument

Everyone's covered it really. You put it at top of your advert so it appears like it's something new and your proud of. Why bother advertising fact it's got one. Been about for years.

I'm not advertising anything. Go back and read my previous posts as to why I chose to put that in the header. Sorry but I've seen with some of your previous sarcy comments directed towards me. Just don't bother

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

mmmm i find stock like running up a ramp, that un would be a bit flat for my liking, Dairy cows probably like it mind.

Do you have any pics of the new moving gate?

Funnily enough I was interested to see that myself. No but I'm going to ask some time

It looks like a neoprene waist high barge board on the side with slots every 2 foot or so, so I guess there is a lightweight aluminium frame with a slam gate in it, with the frame jammed in those slots at 2ft centres like the last P-line wagon container design I saw.

May be a while but I'll see if I can get a photo or three from Houghtons or at a market when I'm passing

similar to the origional sheep divider in our first ifor, small box frame with a mesh gate within

Apologies.

I realise sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. But it's all I've got.

Just add me to your ignore list.

Yes it will be 10k + for one with decks

 

[neilo]

Yes it will be 10k + for one with decks

But hey, it has got a movable partition gate.

You can buy a lorry for less than that.

Has anyone had experience with Tufmac trailers?

They seem similar to the old Hudson design.
