What’s it worth?

[Jerry]

I hope you've taken the advice on this thread and confidently put £2k reserve on it.

Hahaha. Yes there’s a decent reserve on it.

There’s currently 5 live bidders in it and stags have craftily times the auction to end at 7:15pm Sunday so hopefully the interested bidders might have had a drink or two by then and have an itchy bidding finger!

Too late now but if you can sell it in a collective sale without VAT it will make considerably more than if it is to have vat added.
A lot of smaller farmers aren't vat registered apparently.

 

[Jerry]

Sold the old one for £1.5k.

Collected new one today.

very pleased with how it rides and tows. Just got to get it muddy now by filling it with sheep.

Did it make 1.5k in the auction?

No. But auctioneer rang this morning with underbidder wanting it still. Agreed at £1.5k

Good result

Just one fault I can see with it is the full length deck. Do you lose a foot or so on top deck like it appears?

 

[Six Dogs]

The run up ramp looks quite shallow on it but what keeps the sheep on the top deck,from the picture the last bit of the deck folds down onto the ramp but doesn’t look long enough to be the “gate” on the top deck @Jerry please?

This is my only slight concern. There is a gap above the ramp when raised but I don’t think it’s big enough to be a real major concern.

Once the main gates/rear door is raised there’s only a small gap.

Can you remember what it cost new? Bet it doesn't owe you much.

No idea. It was 24 years ago I think.

I dint think new ifors will last that long!

You have bought a good trailer there. I have one much the same for the last seven years or so, still really tidy. Has moved a few cattle and sheep with no real problems, that one has led lights by the look of it? Shame to get it dirty! Will outlast a new Ifor many times over.

I’ve moved thousands of welsh ewes and lambs and exlana lambs and ewes and never had 1 jump out of the top bit or even look at doing it.
I‘ve had the same trailer since Aug 17 and really like it! Only issue/thing I’d change is an easier way of locking and unlocking the lifting tail gate when your inside and made a Fort Knox of gates to guide flighty sheep in you’ve got to climb over to flick the catch

Edit,
Scrap that I can see they’ve made a much better handle system - hopefully you can turn it from standing on the inside.

Wonder where I've seen that design of lock before

 

[Al R]

Wonder where I've seen that design of lock before

what make is doing that? I’d like to modify my one so it opens easier from inside than the very small balls you’ve got to kick with your feet as leverage is too small doing it by hand

 

[Fendt516profi]

Same design as Ifor just bigger lever

 

[hill farmer]

Same design as Ifor just bigger lever

Ivor design is slightly better tbf, as it locks itself when you raise the ramp up, you have to reach around and lock the lever in place with the Nugent
Nugent ramp is stronger and doesn't rattle and bounce like our old Ivor did though

 

[neilo]

Of course, none of that’s an issue with no ramps and a push button.....

I was waiting for that, cheaper to employ someone to stand the other side and kick the levers each way mind

What trailers that on
