Hiab trailer advice for tractor

[swinny]

Has anyone made them selves a trailer with an hiab mounted? Any advice from your build etc?

 

I was thinking of a flatbed trailer or a plant trailer. Mount hiab at the front and timber bolsters down the sides....

 

Just wondering if anyone on here had done this before and any advice?

 

Had a hiab trailer before but wasn't really the right thing for the job. Now want to build something correct for the job and to make life easier!

 

Many thanks

why the sides and tailgate ,gotta be lot of extra weight to drag aroung?

You can’t carry a lot of chip/soil/roots or many rings in bolsters!
And half a tonne extra on wheels behind a tractor is neither here nor there; the additional convenience/multi-purpose factor would far outweigh it.
