Inferior product.

Air suspension, air brakes and a spoon hitch and you're good to go.
Stewart / Larrington similar quality in my experience- Larrington maybe slightly better actually but they are more expensive over a Stewart

both those brands in a different league to many others mentioned on this thread …….. but as always at a price !


Air/ abs/ air suspension is standard at this level - although we use ball and spoon on all our kit we don’t put them on grain trailers as we often need to use outside contractors who don’t have balls

Did u not say a new 20t stewart was 36k?

indeed it is yes - that’s for sane (20-26) spec as our exiting on michilin and equipped with rear tow, removing those things knocks a couple thousand off


would rather not have to buy new but to get the 26m3 we need it’s looking like no other choice

Same trailer cost 21k 4 years ago for comparison/ ag machine price inflation !

awaiting a Larrington quote but expect it to be more than Stewart based on past experience and quotes

I bet it won't be that cheap for similar spec - have you had a quote recently ? as I say the Stewart was just over 20 just 4 yrs ago

Inflation has been relentless this last 12 months
Just bought a small excavator for the handy jobs ,4k difference
between two firms identical machine ,spec etc so still deals to be had.

be interesting to see how the larrington quote compares to the stewart, nothing would surprise me with how things are though 😂 have you priced bailey or any others?

just seen on baileys website that their 26m3 trailer is still advertised at £21500... must be a mistake surely
