Looking for 8ton trailor.

[Greythundercloudys]

Looking for a dropside 8ton trailor, second hand, Marshall, fraser, what ever, my old marshall is rusted rotten.

 

[startinghandle]

Is it beyond repair?

Very rotton, the body anyway.

Probably cheaper buying new than finding anything in good nick 2nd hand https://www.agri-linc.com/fleming-t...trailer-new-2021-twin-axle-8-tonne-carry.html

A hummel 8ton, year old on ebay, 6000 delivered, no vat. Big yellow one. Is that a good deal or not.

 

[Ed ardudwy]

Bought my flemming tr8 2 years ago £4000 +vat.
Good trailer, like the fact it's narrower than the competition going through old stone gateways. Plus only single ram for tipping so need less of a reservoir, even my mf 230 tips it.
Marshall is a better trailer but not £3000 better

I’ve pulled a few different trailers of various sizes in my short time of driving tractors (have a job outside of ag now, so back to 8 tonne griffiths on the weekend now - one of which is drop side funnily enough)

My neighbours 10 tonne Flemming is by far the worst trailer I have ever driven. The drawbar just isn’t right, suspension arrangement aweful and it just banged and rattled unnecessarily.

AW, Richard Weston, West, Marshall, Frazer and Reco were all leagues ahead. I know they cost more, but even a bit of refinement from a Flemming is worth it.

Flemming do some reasonable products, but twin axle trailers are not one of them in my opinion.

There must be a lot of us, me included, who have trailers like this with rotten bodies but good chassis. Is there no option to re-body them at a sensible price?

AW offer the service, don’t know what the cost is though.

Fleming 8ton are nearly 7grand. A secondhand one would do if you could find one.

Where abouts are you ? Ive fabricated a few bodys for tipping trailers. The last two were on 8ton chassis.

Second hand trailers are threw the roof,, know boys getting more for them now that did when they got them new,, new trailers clean mad price's,, surly these prices can't stick it,, there going to be another bang I'd say,,

The above 10 ton one sold at the recent online sale at lanark

If the chassis is OK I think John Kerr makes bodies for trailers, unsure if he does drop sides though.
Gardiner trailers would be another one that would possibly refurbish it also.
Marshall farm machinery in Aberdeenshire another shout, with plenty drop side trailers on their website.

Price, something like that would do.

I actually had a look at that trailer when I was waiting to get unloaded the other day. It looked quite good.
It made £3700 (I don't know if the price came up on the link I posted)

Which imho is why if looking to buy new don't look at cheaper end like fleming. Get good quality chassis and running gear and it will be worth a new body in years to come if needs be.

 

[Greythundercloudys]

I wonder if it sold.

 

[pat kcotnit]

Would this be about right?
