Trailer advice wanted
I have a little Erde trailer at the moment which holds about 3 square bales of hay. It it bouncy, has shallow sides & small wheels.

What I'm looking for is a 4 wheel trailer than I can put a motorcycle in, (more hay/big round bale!), has taller sides, bigger wheels (4 possibly) and costs £750 top.

Any suggestions? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

Id say any Ifor williams that suits your needs.

They hold their value incredibly well so you will get your money back when you sell on if kept in good nick and should so as all are galved.

I have 3 ifor's at work and they are used 5 days a week for big miles and each has clocked up 120,000miles without any issues since 2007 apart from consumables. 2011 Santorini Black USW XS.

We have two Ifor William trailers.

In the market for another trailer and we are looking at an Ifor William.

Do you notice a trend here?

Under or over 750kg? Isn;t that the limit as to wher it needs it's own brakes or not?

I've got a 750kg Kay Trailer, and it's great! Owned since 2002, and still in good condition, solid build...
