Noone else is asking so you must of mentioned it somewhere else, but why the move away from a TM. Didn't you have the TM on bibload tyres too?

The positioning is daft where they are. Our manitou has them there but not on the top, one either side of the boom.
i don’t think there’s a farm handler out there that at some point hasn’t kissed a shed roof with the boom, I know I have. But those lights will be the first point of contact.

Nobody around here had Thompson dump trailers, I've never used one.
What's wrong with what Herron makes? I've never had an issue with any of their trailers.

The thing he puts the pipes on over the drawbar always gets bent and wrecked its badly positionedwev had plenty of both over the years, the brakes arent the same quality as kane(done plenty of herron brakes and never had to reline a kane) had a herron lowloader that didnt run straight behind the tractor from day 1. Had a silage that ate tyres as the axles was way off and he tried to say that it must of been couped which it wasnt as the trailer was immaculate. Never had a problem with kane which also has a better resale value aswel
Used the new machine to heap a bit of FYM yesterday... and its a bit powderpuff compared to the TM with a penchant for standing on its nose & the visibility to the right is mainly obscured by the boom but ideal for what we want which is basically loading mixer wagon and unloading deliveries and subsequently much cheaper to run
I used to have a 4cx, took the back after of was good but yes short reach when we changed I was concerned about not having good visability if some one came behind and you missed seeing them so I went for a articulated machine.

why have you gone away from the articulated type?

Too heavy and used a lot of fuel for what we need now as dont need TM on the clamp. Plus needed 4 tyres at minimum of £1500/corner and engine stuff so the deal was good enough to swop without tears
Good machine though with very few issues that weren't our fault.
Wonder if the sidearm will be anywhere near as robust.

Last time you'll see it without cow sh-t is it??
As soon as the land travels it will be axle deep emptying a lagoon.
They're tools. No sentiment here
