Transport Boxes

[Forkdriver]

Looking at getting a new transport box. I think that hydraulic tipping will be the most useful as I want it to load sub base stone for filling potholes as well as using it for small fencing jobs and picking up fallen timber. Fleming seem to be the best but is there anything better? It's only going on a 50hp JD 1140, so I was thinking of 6foot wide.
Thanks for your thoughts in advance.

Got one for sale here. Not hydraulic tip, but either hydraulic top link or modify .

I had a Fleming on a 2140 JD think it was 6 or 6”6. Carried tonnes of soil into my garden. Tidied up lots of my old farmyard. Was fantastic. Only sold it because I bought a loader for my bigger tractor. For the price they are fantastic

Think a box that can convert into a cage is far more useful.

I am sure that l can make a cage for shifting ewes and lambs.

Local dealer had this made in their yard, will go on linkage or the loader so loads of uses for us

Are you actually wanting to back up to a heap of stone and fill it that way rather than having to load the stone some other way? If so the cage type isn`t for you, although as you say you could make something to fit it to carry a sheep or two...
If you are wanting it to self-load I would think a 6` one could get quite heavy!!

Got a Fleming 7’ here - serious bit of kit, built like an absolute tank - check out the videos on YouTube. You can use it like a shovel and grade with it - it’s the best £700 we’ve spent

Bought a Watson and spent the extra to have a galvanised finish rather than painted.
well built but no hydraulic tip.

I’d like a box to move calves and double up as a platform for gutter cleaning, to fit on the front of the telehandler.
Does anyone know if it’s available from somewhere?

That's the main jobs for our one pictured above but was dealer made

Has the OP gone to sleep????
( gonna make it my New Year resolution not to waste my time trying to help folk on here `cos it always seems a waste of time - do they ever really read what you put???)
A 50 hp 2wd tractor would probably struggle to self load a 6` wide `bucket` I would think....

Have one of these with pin and cone brackets. Very handy for carting calves or lambs about and fencing.

Not sleeping, just busy. Self loading from the heap, I hope. I was wondering if 6ft would be too much so thanks for your reply.

I haven't seen those before. Another one to look at.

 

[DrDunc]

Not idea how many decades old this one is, but they're still making them

(150hp just about copes)

 

[renewablejohn]

Johnboy 87 Thats similar to mine and makes a very useful platform when working in the polytunnel.

The best thing about having one on a loadall is being able to boom over a fence or gate to let stock out,I use mine for loading calves into the wagon for the mart,saves pushing them up a ramp.
