Key Features
-
🏋️♂️ Payload Capacity: Approx. 3 – 4 tons, suitable for soil, compost, gravel and silage.

-
🔗 Heavy‑Duty Chassis: Built with reinforced steel beams and robust axle assembly to navigate rough farm terrain.
-

Condition & Repairs Needed
This trailer is in working order but requires new side panels—ideal for farmers who prefer customizing trailer walls (e.g. wooden slats or higher steel sideboards). The structural floor, chassis and tipping cylinder remain sound. Fresh coat of paint would restore full appearance and corrosion resistance.
Why It’s Worthwhile
Purchasing a pre‑owned farm tipper trailer at this price avoids the premium markup of new trailers. When properly refurbished, it’s fully functional with many years of service ahead—plus it helps stretch farm capital.
Recommended Upgrades
-
Fit new side panels (steel or timber) at local fabricator
-
Replace trailer tyres or upgrade to flotation types (400/60 sizing recommended)
-
Apply primer and paint to restored steel to prevent corrosion
