Spend some money for me !

And then expect a dealer to do warranty work and keep spares on the shelf for them?

Warranty claims on a trailer!?

Don't think we have ever ordered any spare parts from a trailer manufacturer/dealer.

With commercial running gear all spares available from a commercial motor factor.

Surely that one's ideal then? About 27m3 iirc

Bailey not my preferred brand (quality not as good Stewart or Larrington imo) and don’t really want a tri axle (weight and tyre scrub). does look value however so have made enquiries

the black Stewart linked looks good spec but not quite ideal cube capacity but again is value, unless we go new i think we may have to compromise somewhere however

Horsch titan 34 linked looked ideal but maybe sold !

bag lifter sorted now thanks

keep any suitable suggestions coming, all very helpful thank-you

We use lorries here because of the distances to haul back to the farm and also to deliver in winter to buyers. In a dry year the lorry makes sense but once the field gets soft or entrance get rutted you’ll find them a poor alternative to a tractor and trailer. Then add in the safety inspections and crap resale value and the trailer get cheap real quick.

we use artics on long hauls, only way to keep up with large combines, no use moving compost onto land through winter however or when carting corn closer to home

(1) 4 x Ford 7600's with 5 ton trailers.
(2) Another Ford 76 with a 5 ton trailer......
(3) Wet kit ? Oohhh matron.........
(4) Just use pallet forks.
(5) High tip 5 ton trailer with grain shute....

If you send the amount you wish to spend to my bank account I'll make sure and spend it wisely

That’s very short sighted

You won’t be able to buy “one trailer “ direct from a manufacture who has a dealer network . Why would they? Buy 100 and they may think differently

Depends on the manufacturer,I’ve just bought one direct,far cheaper than the dealer,I didn’t need finance or a trade in,so no need for a dealer.

Here’s a wee beauty that would solve your wet gear problem.. with the added advantage that you could get a bulker for her too,
A well priced lorry that would suit any farmer

we don’t run trucks (been their got the t shirt x13 ! ). have access to people far better at it but need a store tipping solution as most trucks we have access to don’t have wet kits


bulkers are also very cheap to hire and let someone else have the hassle of keeping them legal

not gonna dispute the quality claim, but a bailey will carry the same weight for the same amount of loads as a stewart for less money (assuming spec for spec, and excepting a couple extra rattle cans of paint for the bailey), so where does the extra value of a stewart or larrington come in? if it was hundreds £ then yeah id buy the best, but when its thousands to do the exact same thing i find myself thinking... exactly the same with "premium" tractors, yes they are better, but they arent worth the extra 25% cost

i would argue resale value but in the case of trailers thats less relevant for us as we tend to keel them a long time

as you say all will do the job, biggest difference is paint quality in my experience and Stewart do paint VERY well

We bought rear discharge direct saved alot of wad,cant remember how much as it was 10/11 year ago,not needed warranty/spares so all good.

There are 3 20t Larringtons in a brown&co sale at welney next week . None of them are that old .

Thought Larringtons "fell over" your way on??

Do you want to put a bet on it??

For the chaser bin I would call Richard firby as he has quite a few out on hire so he could have some to sell.
Bag lifter I would look at Agriweld very well made stuff. They may make bag fillers aswell.
trailer I would buy a new one then you can spec it completely how you want it and it will last 10-15 years easily.

Also by the time you throw 4 new tyres on to a used one you add a big lump on to the cost.

DRT will build to whatever spec you want, shotblasted before two pack paint
and use a proper sprung draw bar
seen 18 tonners get 20 of barley in them
