Does anyone know of all 14ft tipping trailers come with tapered bodies - i.e. wider at back than front?

Some do but youd nearly want to ask for them to be built that way

Reggie. · 25-08-2020 11:10AM

That's an artic

Just seen this while looking for something else. Wouldn't be much use on the roads here. Must be some big finisher using it to take loads to the processors

I looked at a smaller trailer by them when I was looking for a cattle trailer, they were a bit pricey. But incredibly well spec'd.

The remote control ramp is an excellent idea for a safety feature

I like the safety zone for the dividing gate. I don't like the gap in the automatic stock gates but I do like the idea. Auto steering axles is just something to go wrong.

Not bad value that for a triaxle.

Anyone know why when I go onto eBay uk. I can only see listings that have Irish postage included on them? I've turned off location etc on my phone but no joy.

You probably registered with an Irish address, and have an Irish address set as your primary address.....If you have a Parcel Motel account, go into settings on eBay and set your Parcel Motel address as your primary address. You can change your primary address in settings as often as you like...

The dividing gate mod is a great idea and all cattle bodies should be designed like that imo. As for the gap in the auto gates I'd say it's to prevent legs getting caught if the gates closed flush. I'm not sure if it's that practical of an idea due to the length of time it took for them to close in the video. It would reduce the risk of a kick when closing the loading gates but wild cattle are inclined to turn and run off the trailer if the gates aren't closed quickly. The lifting ram on the ramp is a nice feature although modern ramps aren't overly heavy and it's another thing to go wrong in years to come.

Drove a 4512 weidemann the other day, found ot a bit cramped and not that quick, I have a skidsteer which is very nimble. Anyone have any experience with a jcb 520-40

K.G. · 31-08-2020 08:11AM

Can anyone explain why there are so few buckrake s for sale in the south compared to the north.put "buckrake" into donedeal and you get 1 ad in munster and 67 ads in ulster

I would say there are very few outfits pushing up silage with a buckrake now in the South - maybe some old school lads and they are getting fewer and fewer, and probably not changing the buckrake that often. JCB and Volvo rule the pits in Ireland - whereas up north and in UK i would say it is still mostly tractor and buckrake pushing up

Gillespy · 31-08-2020 12:27PM

Silage pike or silage fork more common name for them than buckrake down here.

Nekarsulm · 31-08-2020 01:46PM

Even if you hadn't used the buck rake on silage for years ( and people do put them on front linkages) for all you'd get, it's hardly worth selling.
And it'll always come in useful for some jobs.

A pipe burst on the 50b a couple of weeks ago during the rain/storm. Our seldom used push off buck rake was hauled out of the back of a shed, on the back of the tractor within minutes and drawing bales of hay into a shed.
A power transport box would be another "must have" implement on our farm.

But does that explain why you have loads up north and none down south.my own take on it is the hardworking nirthern folk have only recently given up cutting their own silage whereas the more lazy southerners have given upwith a long time.(im deep south).

Might be more a case of the lads up north investing in new machinery and lads in the south picking up the good second hand stuff when it become available up north?
Most lads who might cut their own silage here down south would be shopping on the second hand market (myself included)

JF1050 trailed harvester. We have a decent sized loader with a non-push-off rake/fork/pike on the front

We hire wagon in as the drivers havent license yet and tractor would struggle with it.we kinda have good back up now if something goes down as we have 2 mowers and 3 options for buckraking so we hopefully can always finish the job.if you keep an eye out you can pick nice gear for small money enough if you spot the diamonds

There's something in the water in the 6 counties. They've a nose for everything.

Debating getting a gator...

Anyone have one?

What are they like on hilly ground? I suppose especially coming down hilly ground as the path down out of one place is fairly steep...

good / bad feedback welcome

Lads any idea where I'd get a workshop manual for a f 130 series fiat tractor , lab man

I was looking into them a few months back. The steepest thing is the price of them

They Have to be safer than a quad. Talking to a fella who is laid up for a month now after coming off the quad. Safety should be the primary concern.

Have heard of loads of quad incidents. Have a quad here and the ground is very flat and no overdoing on speed etc.
Gators are safer but the price puts a lot off them. They can be €25k new. At that price many prefer a good jeep

It would be a second hand one I’d be getting - a long off from 25k I can tell you...

What’s considered high hours for a gater could anyone tell me?

Anyone ever take the starter off a 4235 Massey or similar? I tried to take if off for a relative of mine and no way could we swing the spanners in there. A socket won't go in as not enough room. The only way I can think of, is to use a Crowfoot type spanner.

If that could fit surely the long sockets would fit?
