JPM Trailers

about £7700 not sure what the others are yet, but like the fact I can drop the tailboard to load/unload small bales without banging head on lifted door
There are 2 Jpm flat trailers at the spud farm where I help out, they were cheap and it shows. They were bought to carry ten tattie boxes at harvest but when they arrived they were 4" too short
. The drawbars were stepped down but on 1 trailer the drawbar was too short and when turning in a gateway the arms caught the drawbar even when wound right up and out. loads of welds have failed on the safety rails but the main part of the trailers are fine. Good axles on them and the brakes are too good (young lads leave rubber at every junction)Paint is good also. These trailers are 3 seasons old now and I think newer stuff is a lot better. There are a lot around here now. Not bad trailers, you get what you pay for.

That's not a very helpful comment, care to elaborate?
probably means there the biggest pile of shyte ever made,
not many in us around here, few cattle trailers but thats it as far as i can see, followed a dump trailer, weakest looking bogies i have seen, knew of a couple of twisted low loaders that had to be straighted. newer stuff looks better and they seem to shift a lot of stuff, but kane and donnoly and even mckenna would be better built, dont think mckenna sells to over there though.
jpm is only 6 mile down the road.

Anyone had any recent experience with JPM kit? Looking at quite high spec low loaders and bale trailers.

I've seen a jpm dump trailer in action looks fine but the tipping angle was bad nearly every load the operator had to jerk the tractor back and forth to empty the load sometimes not even emptying the whole load it was carting soil and clay,
They may of changed the tipping angle now!

We have a JPM 14t dropside with digger ramps underneath. I have to say it gets used for moving round bales, gravel, a 360,and is generally on the go all the time. We have had no issues and it was a very competitvely priced trailer but we also have a Herbst which is a considerably better built trailer but was priced accordingly.

Other's suffer in different ways as NC 14 tonners won't drop if looking up hill and will easily stop the Tractor pulling it away then in wet conditions .

I bought a 28ft bale trailer last year. I had been looking for good second hands but was having no luck. Then at our local show I saw a JPM, my perception was that they were poorly built but I really couldn't find anything wrong with it in fact I have to say it's better built than a lot of trailers I've seen.

just got a quote for a 14x7ft8 Kane tipping trailer, was cheaper than several other, "cheap" makes
some of the cheap makes are upping their standard and so expecting a higher price, weather they are better that hte well known makes i dont know. however are kane working on the name they have and priced a very basic trailer with little spec, lets face it most of the running gear come from one man and i can buy as cheap as any of them off him.
jpm only over the road here and yard seems to be full but then give it a week or two and they will be gone.
pf trailers doing similar trailers and seem to be selling plenty too
only two named trailer here are donnoly and they are 14x7 silage trailers, for the price they were ok, we bought them needing work, not the strongest trailer but then built to a price
