Idea for a trailer?

[YoGi_93]

I thought of this idea for a tipping trailer and chipper combination.

I cracked out good old Paint and drew it up, ignore the square wheels and the fact that none of it is symmetrical

What do you think would it work? Obviously the front object is a chipper and the rear a chip box which is kind of backwards.

The idea would be that it you would be able to use an every day pickup truck with no alterations but still be able to use a chipper and have somewhere big enough to store the load, that also tips.

Let us know what you think

think you would have to much nose weight for most trucks , its 100kg downforce max for most truck tow bars

nice idea but when empty theres going to be a lot of weight on the front draw bar.

Oh yeah good point! So if anything the chipper would have to be over the axle and it cant be in the middle. At the back would be too much weight at the back aswell. Any ways around it?

well could be fixed in middle with two bins front and back bit the front bin would need to have side tip.

Check on the Bandit website as they've got a model of this idea already in production .

chipper +2 tipping bins +trailer prob going to be quite heavy so the carry weight of the trailer would not make it worth while , a trailer like this would suit being towed behind a tractor if you can mount the chipper low enough to feed the brash in

Bandit Industries, Inc.

the weight of these are 7000 pounds which is about 3 ton ish making them only just towable with a landy thats before any chip is put on board
