havent done a final calc of costs yet, but to make up the tandem axle units it has cost approx £500 which includes the 4 wheels and stub axles/hubs at £280 plus the material to make them. I reckon total cost is approx £800-£900, which is well worth it as it is far better than the TCF engineering version and alot cheaper than a LOGIC one that retails around £2500!!!

]had this up in the "show us your tractor" thread, but thought i'd stick it here as a few people reckoned it deserved its own thread! Thought I'd stick up a few photos of my new ATV tandem axle four wheeler trailer for hauling timber All welded up with my 190Amp mig and galvanised afterwards. The tandem axles are pivoted on 1 1/4 round steel pins through brass bushes with stainless washers either side of the pin and secured with a split pin. I also fitted a 360* swivel hitch for added safety on rough ground and slopes. The top half of the stakes are removable as I'm planning on making up a removable flatbed deck at a later date to make it more useful when not needing to haul timber. The headboard at the front is also adjustable forward and rear to allow for different lengths of timber.

Not a tractor, but its ideal for the areas we go into! Can shift a fair amount of logs in one go! built the trailer myself and used it for a good 6 months before selling it on. Currently building the MK2 version that will be galvanised and have larger tyres on it. Quad is a Honda Foreman 400
