New grain trailer. What is your choice

[curlietailz]

Looking at a 14 tonne grain trailer
Must have a roll over sheet and air brakes
Local dealers sell
Bailey and
Richard Weston
And I’ve found a decent seconhand Broughan

What make would you choose??

 

[db9go]

We have Baileys, Kane, And K2wo and K2wo is the best

If all its doing is a bit of seasonal grain, you just need a box on wheels, so whichever one is cheapest and grain tight.
If it's going on the road a light tare weight should be important so you don't go overweight. That part doesn't seem to apply to Ag though, so go for the cheapest.
Don't forget to buy British

I priced a new Bailey then looked at a few used ones then found a used Richard western was not impressed by the Bailey build or paint quality

I bought a couple of Smyth trailers, love them, decent price and exceptionally well built, commercial axles, air, leds the lot, they do roll over sheets too. Well worth a look.

A Ktwo will last a lifetime as a grain trailer.

Out of your options it would be the Richard Western. However if you want the best it has to be between Ktwo, Stewart, Larrington or HM. Second hand trailers are rarley worth buying when you consider the price of them for the age, stick a new one on 0% finance and it will last you 20 years easily if it's looked after.

Larrington or HM, both innovative ,well built and low depreciation.

All of them can do it,but it will have to be paid for somewhere along the line. Best to source the best trailer for you not just a cheap finance deal.

how do they compare on price? Against a Ktwo or Stewart.

how do they compare on price? Against a Ktwo or Stewart.

I had 14t FieldMasters on floatations (BKT), manual rear door/hatch. Air over oil, load sensing brakes, sprung drawbar leds etc and they were £11200 each + Vat but this is going back 8 years, had them sprayed in red and can say the paint is still as good as new.
At the end of the day I couldnt see much difference between a Smyth and a Bailey when I looked over one at a show not long after I bought mine

 

[MrNoo]

Why not one of the many British makes?

Because they provided the best value for money for the spec I wanted

Have had a look at a few trailers recently and came accross PK Trailers. Looks identical to an older Ktwo trailer, however cannot find out much about them but probably worth a look.

 

[Optimus]

Mate just bought 2 16t AS Marston trailers.its very well built.think they are made by someone in Cumbria. Certainly not much difference to our Stewart.

 

[snarling bee]

I have had Bailey and Western. I now have 3 Westerns. If grow barley, oats or OSR I would go for a 16t of any make.
