What have I bought?

Is that £950 they will give to take it away? will it even hold horse muck?

These are some photos of our Wheatley trailer.

Taskers?

Looks like a bitsa

Is the most correct answer I feel, a proper farm trailer, get several make one good.

Taskers?

Think my grandfather had one of those, the tipping was done by handle though, not hydraulics

Well, it’s a 3 ton tipping trailer, originally with a wooden floor and sides, but what’s the make and model???View attachment 1025730

If it originally had wooden floor and frames, then it could possibly be a “Harvard” trailer, the chassis and wheels look similar.

I can see the similarities there, and as they were designed with fordson, the colours may be correct View attachment 1025760

that reminds me of a girling strap line

I think it is Weeks and may well have been all steel from manufacture. The drawbar is identical to one we had where the name was pressed into the head board. We rebiult it in the 80’s and stretched the axle to 80 inch

Never seen a weeks trailer like that even if the colour is similar. Hitch is completely different and no weeks name pressed into front cross member. We had 3 of different ages and all were the same. Still have one as meal trailer but completely new floor and body chassis as the original design was prone to rot.

That hole in the drawbar is reminiscent of Weeks - the hole for the jack.

I think it's a mackle up, the rear corner posts are almost certainly Weeks, but on a Weeks body they dropped into a socket. Someone has welded them on the outside of what looks to be another frame.
The pressed construction of the front and sides look like prototype Weeks, but the top latching details are wrong, they had anti luce pins or bolts, as shown, but these passed through a single thickness leaf, protruding beyond the pressed stiffeners and not through the body of the stiffener as shown in your picture.
Weeks for reference:
