Hi Vikki is it for forest use or a large one for the road with brakes. I have a friend who was talking about building a new one his old one was unbraked but carried about 7 tonnes. I have just had a trailer built out of a brick trailer. Carries about 10 tonnes. 10 tonne crane, air brakes, oil brakes, air suspension cost about £6500 in total. I saw one this week on ebay for 3-4k

Chris impressed by your photo what size trailer and how many tonnes?

My tractor would struggle with that load on.

It's only a 4 tonne trailer but it can fit a fair load on it. Haven't weighed a load off it yet but reckon those pines in the photo would have made between 3 and 3.5 tonne. We're pullign it with that old 50hp international at the mo and it handles it no probs when it's dry.

 

That's not the same one that we've got up for sale though.

Ford 4610 no back window, door etc, the wife never let them in the woods! You can't beat the old tractors like landrovers always go somehow!

Might be selling ours soon. I weighed a load of mixed green hardwood on a weighbridge recently and it came in a just under 4 tonne. We run it off the tractor hydraulics on our Valmet Skidder and it works a treat. The skidder has an Igland twin drum on the back, so I converted the lever/valve block to a cable system so I could use the trailer on the back of the skidder. It takes no longer than five minutes to fit the trailer on and off by yourself, with no heavy valve block and pipes to lift, (which would be almost impossible to do with the winches on the back).

All the best
