New timber trailer advice

[briquette_seller]

I knew a Moheda with a 6m on it would be around 50k but i had no idea the Palms would be around 25k. That is Botex money. Who may i ask is selling these trailers at such a price?

 

The palms have a nice ladder chassis, a +/- 40 degree steering draw bar and the rams are very well guarded. Also has a breaking link between the extension and the rotor. The legs are quite substantial too. It was very well built. The hydraulic tank is right behind the headboard though and i think it could do with a bump plate in front of it.

 

 

KTS and Vreten also might be worth a look. Saw both at the same demo and they're very good. Again slightly less well know brands. The KTS trailers come well specd and the Vreten had some very nice little features on them.

 

I have a KTS crane, 6.7m and find it very slow.

Well enough built, but slow.

I'd say slower than Botex.

Youtube them, they are real slow.

 

I run it off a Fastrac with an oil Flow of 110 litres per minute, so plenty oil

That trailer will not last 2mins down British roads and pot holes ,the A frame looks far to lightweight and similar to my HOBBY Caravan Aframe which flex's something silly down crappy roads .

 

Stick to what you know best ,cheaper is not always better .

Have a look at the farma g2 trailers, 14ton driven for 25k when I was looking a few months ago. I've had a smaller farma for a couple of years now and it's been a cracking trailer!
