Anyone got any experience of their trailers? Their dropside trailer looks good spec and value.

@Grassman has one. Handy for shifting the digger but not really the tool for shifting it daily. Also needs a horizontal opening back door rather than having to lift it off

 

[Grassman]

Its a good tool. Paintwork isn't the best. Nice big floatation tyres but these do lift the bed height a bit. Also ramp storage underfloor lifts it a bit as well.
Top hung back door is ok for loose material but a pain for anything else.
@Dave W is going to use his skills to convert it to barn door.
Good solid sides with box section under the top lip. I'm happy with mine.

It says they have got a 6mm floor do you think they would stick moving some stone occasionally?

Ah i see. It seems as durable as any other but heavy rocks dropped in any trailer will dint steel. Just common sense to load carefully.

 

[Benr]

That’s right if loaded carefully and treated with respect will it be suitable. Or will the sides bow and floor dent etc.
Thanks
The other trailer we are looking at is the M4 but it more expensive and has a 5 mm floor instead of 6mm

I looked at both and bought locally. Cant see much wrong with either.

Yes they are

Johnston trailers have a wide chassis so if you fit 500s the tyre will be the widest part of the trailer and they won't make a bale extension longer than 3ft. If neither of these things are an issue for you there are much worse trailers about with higher price tags.
