I've gone and done it :)

I went to the fabricators next door today and we came up with a cutting list and a diagram for the chipbox and when i did the maths its gonna hold about 5.5m3 to 6m3 does this sound right? It's 5ft high from the bed and will have an apex in the middle which will be 6ft from the bed. That's about the same as you can get in a tranny? I'm planning on finding a 8t trailer and mounting a hiab on the drawbar that way i can carry chip timber or even lift the chipper on the back. Well thats the plan

 

We anchored our chip box off the four balls on the original frame and made it a threeway tipper. Since then its only ever been used on side tip, better than unhooking trailers or dropping off pto gear.

Been playing around with the mog trying different trailers and see what suits.

The tandem axle was filled up heaped and it seemed like there was quite alot of weight on the back end but there would of only been 2-3 tonne of chip on. The other pics was the little trailer loaded with stumps and crap but about the same weight on as the chip. The little trailer towed miles better, didn't seem as heavy on the back end i thought the extra axle would have balanced it out abit. What trailers do you other u900 owners run?
