Entec Trukloder thoughts...

Hi chaps. I was looking at my chipper today and have decided it's about time it had a refurb. The paint is starting to peel in a few places and it has some light rust in a couple of areas. I'm thinking as it's generally quite a tidy machine I should get on top of these issues now to keep it looking good. My main question is how does the main chipper body fit to the trailer base? I can only find mounting bolts on the front end which hold the yellow body to the main drawbar. Surely there must be some sort of attachment at the back too even though I can't see anything? As it's going to be in bits to do this I also have another idea...

 

Whilst I've got it apart I'm thinking of fitting some rails to the trailer and some steel rollers to the body so I could slide the chipper body off of the trailer and onto a cart which will fit through a 3' gateway. I don't think it would be that hard to do from what I can see of the mounting points? Have any of you done this?

 

I hope you know what I mean by this? I want to create something that is like a large TW13/75 that can then slide mount and fit to either a narrow trolley or to the trailer to be towed. Possible do you think?

 

I'd be very grateful for your advice or opinions.
