do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
Can you see about having them chopped ?? There isn't an awful lot to them. A straw hauler I know ordered 3 6 wheelers the longest he could get and 3 drags as long as available. After getting on vosas radar he had a chunk cut out the middle of all the drags. Didn't take them long.
why out of the middle? seems a hell of a lot of work/long way round it ??

There is plenty about but not many come up for sale.
I was thinking about chopping one up but thought it would be a ball ache

I don't know tbh. The trailer manufacturer did it. It wasn't dead middle but just in front of the axles. I would hazard a guess that the section cut out was behind where the draw bar was mounted so they only had to cut the chassis rails rather than cut the drawbar off and re mount it. Can't mess with the the drawbar itself as they are telescopic on a lot of straw trailers so that they can do back loads of machinery and can shorten the drawbar and drive tractors straight from the trailer onto the wagon.
