Nugent or ifor? Or....

[paul&mandy]

Looking about for a decent sh trailer. 12 or 14ft. Wheels on outside. Got to have good sheep decks.
What's the better trailer?
Anything for sale that's not in Scotland...

Nugent is Definatly the better trailer.. but the decks/ loading ramp on an ifor is better than the nugent .. everything else about a nugent is miles ahead

 

[M-J-G]

Nugent without hesitation.

I wouldn’t touch a Nugent with the decks they have an know a few that have gone back to ifor because of them.

What's the reason for that.

I'll be looking soon I think for a 12ft with decks second hand.

For me it Nugent Vs Graham Edwards.

Do these other trailers use Knott brakes like an Ifor? The most problems I get with our Ifor are brakes related I’m in the market to get a new trailer and ease of using decks would be a priority

We have an Ifor and will buy another simply because the deck ramp is so.much lighter to install and lift than other makes I have seen. As wife and I get older this is important.

Whilst there are much stronger trailers the strength comes frim more weight which reduces the legal load capacity of the trailer.

Same thoughts here

MCM? Deck arrangement looks very similar to IW.

M-Tec looks a decent trailer and also the new Bateman

M-Tec are a very good strong trailer but the weight of the deck ramp put me off. Wife who does most of our haulage could hardly lift it.

Graham Edward's trailers???

What was wrong with them? We won't use it that much. It's for places we can't get the 30ft box into. Currently have an old dp120 that I refuse to use after getting stuck under the deck ramp along with the wooden decks and the stupidly steep ramp. It's pre easy load decks obviously.

Nugent is a very well made trailer but the decks are heavy and the top ramp can fall under the bottom ramp if on a hill. Mines 4 years old and apart from the rust on the wheels is a good a new, the ifor I had before was scrape by that time.

 

[neilo]

Through ram sales, I see a good few different trailers here every year. I know when an Ifor is on its way as they have a distinctive rattle coming up the drive.
From what I’ve seen, and heard from owners, the Nugent is head and shoulders in front of an IW. There are getting plenty of dealers around now too, including a local one that has jacked in selling Ifors in favour of Nugent and is selling a lot.

However, if you can wait, the extra investment in a Gamic with hydraulic decks will put a smile on your face every time you use it, the fabled ‘Gamic grin’.

Are some outsourced made in China these days???

 

[lloyd]

Just bought another ifor can always sell the sh ones easily.

 

[Pistonbroke]

Just bought an ifor 12ft 510 for £2500, cattle divider,two sheep dividers. Bought a kit to do the brakes for£120 ( shoes,cables, adjusters etc) which it turns out it didn't need done,just some adjustment.It will go for years for us.

The rear door ramp doesn’t lock out spring loaded so you have too flick a handle over which is always stiff as hell…
The backdoor for the deck ramp doesn’t go all the way up too 90degrees it’s more like 60-70degrees and 80% of the time when I move sheep I’ll get too my destination and there’s sheep down on the back of the top deck because they walk up the door and then fall over.. hard too explain when youv not seen it…
Also for some reason instead of splitting the sections in 1/2 the deck gates decide it up too 3/4 and 1/4 of the trailer which is weird and no option too move the deck gates anywhere else
