cheers man, took me enough time haha, put a tailgate door on the back to so now i can tip ever quicker.. built like a grain trailer

[Acg128]

After one myself for on the navara for bigger jobs and I want it exactly like yours haha

[prolinep]

haha, appreciate the good vibes .

manange to take down 4 40ft leylandii last week and fitted them all in this haa, had to use low range to get it moving but still saved me trips, I used on this 2 mm galv sheet to so it was a little more durable than ally and 5 mm rivets with self tap screws in each corner. this on the back of a tipper van youd be moving something like 14 cubic meters of chip but then not sure the transit would pull it .

[Acg128]

I wouldn't pull it with the tranny just the navara. Got to beat buying another tipper as the trailer won't need tax mot and insurance...

Thanks all for your input/advise. One last question, size wise what do you think is firstly a workable option (2 man team), secondly forward planning wise a desirable size and is it worth going bigger investment & trailer wise straightaway?

 

Thanks

Go for the bigger size then you have all eventualities covered. The price difference is negligible.

and weve also built a divider wall for the mild so we can have logs, and chip or clean wood chip and mulch.. can fit 9 cubic meters of loose chip in it

 

On a TT105 your sides would need to be 2 metres high to get 9 cubic metres in. Standard Ifor high sides are about 1.5 metres with the drop sides so that gives you 7 cubic metres at the most.

 

My TT126 with high sides on holds 9 cubic metres comfortably.

Nice trailer Peter. Do you know what it weighs when fully loaded with chip? What pickup is that your using to tow it with? Oh, and if you don't mind me asking, what did the chip box cost?

[Peter]

It would be slightly over 3.5 tonnes if you brimmed it, but I allowed a bit of extra volume so you don't need to fill it right to the top.

 

The truck in the pic is a navara, but I only tow it fully loaded with the lorry.

 

I did all the fabrication myself, but there is about £1k in materials there.
