Tidy 856, 2wds have alot of advantages working in tight spots. Get most places too with a good set of tyres the back.

Firm near me makes up trailer to pretty much any spec you like, I liked the idea of a multi purpose drop side dump trailer. With sockets to accept bolsters too, that way you can have a trailer for chip one day and a timber shifter the next...

 

Which co is that mate? Thanks. :thumbup1:

Agfab I think they call themselves, they run from Devon plant services in Winkleigh- if you phone them they put you through to the bloke who makes them. I phoned up wanting a Herbst multi purpose dump trailer (they used to be the dealers) but he gave me a good price on a well specced Agfab trailer with any extras I wanted adding.

A tidy solution that, and much safer than a seat.

 

we did think about a seat, stole one of my DB tattie planter to try it out but decided against it. Had a bit of steel grid lying about and bar with pins for lift arms so they worked perfect and its light enough to take off and on.

 

I'm sure once we get the hang of the controls it wont take so long to load so no need for a seat.

10 series fords are brilliant, the later x block engines are the ones to look for it was the earlier smooth blocks which were more likely to go porous and with the column change gears there were two types, the earlier "rubiks cube" ones were a pain to operate but the later version was better, but the standard floor mounted were better, if you find one with dual power that is really handy, it splits each gear down by half a ratio, very handy when towing or mowing etc.
