Dunno about the TW but we drag GM 1928 safetraks (approx 2 tonne) around on those GH trailers. 

They are great trailers (assuming the chipper fits, which it should in theory).

Get double leaf springs, even though they are designed to carry the weight on the standard single leaves. If a bump stop wears/breaks off (which you won’t know about) the single leaves can snap (which you definitely will know about!). We broke several before upgrading, then no issues.

Ifor Williams now make a version of this trailer for GAP hire and I’d try and buy one of those if you can - they come on heavier duty wheels/tyres, have the double leaf springs (and a few other upgrades). So far ours have been faultless. You will need to specify it with a 50mm ball hitch and a spacer to lift the tow hitch if you go down this route and don’t tow on a ring hitch though.
