Woods Trailers

Reggie.

Anyone have one if these. Only had a quick look at one one time but it impressed me. Thinking of upgrading to one in the near future.

Don't know about the make but a mate of mine has one similar to that and they are way more practical for a farmer than a dump trailer . Heavy enough to move a few loads of dung /fill /grain and you can take the sides off if you need to get a few pallets of fertilisier /bales or what ever as a flat bed

We have a woods like that,good heavy well made trailer,you can buy a extension on the back of it like this.Good fast ram on it,just a single ram but I'm sure you could buy one with double Rams if you need it




But I'm sure you could conjure something similar up Reggie,neighbour also has one,he does his own pit silage with a single chop he has the sides like a silage trailer made,they are like the sides of s proper woods silage trailer on her,which you can hook it on or of,also usefull for turf.

Woods 13x7 trailer here hooked on at least once a week for the winter i can draw 8 bales with it will hold 7.6 tonne of stone easy pulled very stable with the tandom axel cant recommend them enough tbh. It has been coped once by my uncle trying to shake rubble out of it on a side bray. It was strong enough that all we had to do was pull it back on its wheels and draw away

lads what would the main difference be between a twin axle and a double wheel axle?? Have an old 10 by 6 double wheel axle that needs replacing

Have a tuff mac trailer here about 5 years now and very pleased with it. Have silage sides for it as well. Was way cheaper than a woods at the time. Would definitely add a second ram if I was buying again cos they can be under pressure if tipping on a bit of a side

Priced them at the ploughing. A 14x8 double axle came in at €8800+vat with no extras

Looking like I'm leaning towards a woods trailer. Have a fella looking at mine tomorrow and if that sells I'll have to go shopping.

I would think a lynch trailer would take some beating but i have not seen any woods

Had a 13x7 heavy duty woods with ramps for a digger. Very happy with it. suitable for so many things and never missed a beat.

I have never seen a Woods either. Good few S&M trailers near here , as they are ade locally. Don't know if he is making them at the moment , as he has started re barreling slurry tankers.
A son was in a yard yesterday a couple of miles away , and there was a new Beresford trailer after landing a week ago. He was quite impressed with it. Gleason Steel in Gortnahoe Co Tipperary make a decent trailer . But most of them , bar the S&M which is tandem axle , would be single axle super singles.

have used a woods for a good few years with local contractor, although it has barley sides with silage extensions, have done a lot of miles with it and would recommend going for springs over the boggy axle if they offer it, especially if you are going to be using it a lot, or at more than 30kph (its not as bad on the 398 at home, don't notice the bouncing as much).

apart from that is been not too bad, has done all that has been asked off it, well put together, although paint went badly orange peal on it after a few years and made it look older than it was (now 15yrs old) and the tyres were a bit prone to damage (could have improved since) and were expensive to replace, so it got booted on them mini super singles few years back.

surprised at the price for the donnellys cos the last few trailers have been from them, two barley trailers and two silage trailers as they where the best on price

Might have to eat my words on this one. Just looked at tuffmac and very very impressed. Well put together, 5mm floor with 3mm sides. Cross members 10 inches apart. The 400 tyres seem more than enough with 4 wheel braking on the 14ft. Said I can make any modifications I want within reason. Plus has brackets for ramps on the back as standard

nugent would be another one you could price, neighbour has one with bale ext etc, looks a good trailer

Donnelly are much stronger than Woods from my experience. Have one here. Was looking at buying a Woods first but when I saw the Donnelly it was by far the more superior trailer. It did cost a good bit more than the Woods but it was worth it imo.

Woods have a standard and heavy duty version. Which one did you look at or did ya notice?

Reggie.

Well the old trailer is gone now. She served me well and I hope she gives the new owner as good service as I got.

Have to go shopping for a new one now.

Did ya get the 3k for it?

Sneak peek.
These are her wheels. The tyres will be crossply rather than radial like these ones.

Muckit

That's the only way l could afford a trailer like that.....buying it in bits and pieces!!

Well wear!

Best of luck with it Reggie. I'm sure it will last you a life-time if you look after it as well as the other machinery you put up pics of.
What do you plan to do with it, general farm work?

She will be 14ft x 7.5ft. Used mainly for turf and light material. Bale extension will bring her to 18ft so will carry 11 silage bales or 16 hay/straw bales. Well that's the theory anyways. I think I'm looking at an early Jan delivery

Hi Reggie

Was looking ourselves for a similar trailer with a bale extension. Was wondering if the bale extension was included in the price (€7500 + vat if im correct)? Also what part of the country are you buying it in? Would definitely like to check them out more.

I haven't seen a woods trailer up close but looked at two lynch trailers lately, one with a 10 stud axle and another with an 8 stud and with a bale extension. Both were very sturdy and heavy trailers. And both farmers couldn't recommend them enough.

Hope yours goes well for you also.

Reggie.

Hoping to take delivery of her tomorrow.
