Very nice as said above its worth keeping it clean while the galves fresh it stops it making a black skin on the galv did you go for the remote tip option?

Looks like a very nice trailer what size /capacity did you go for?

I’m bit disappointed with galv finish rough in places compared to my batesons plant trailer.

I thought ifor would be better, problem with led lights as well indicator sticks on with running lights even lights on.

got to take it back to dealers

it’s the biggest one 12x6 on 13” Wheels, led lights, light guards, tool box, rear legs, skid carrier, ally ramps, ladder rack, mesh sides

Remote ordered dealers don’t do them

ordered a made to measure cover for mesh sides as sell

going to get vinly stickers for panels like janes covells

It might be a problem with the 13-7 pin plug adapter if you have one, they are problematic/crap.

A T6 ford ranger is an other one that doesn't like led trailer lights.

It was wierd with my trailer, was fine on everything but his van yet his own trailer on his van was ok. He borrowed trailer one day and fog light bulbs melted trailer lights from being on all the time. That wasn't led lights mind.

They are about a tonne empty, 3.5 tonne gross, and around £5k plus vat in that spec with a bit of discount.

No discount at the moment I ordered this in November! £5400 plus vat, options added a bit on basic was 4700 I think

Didn’t manage any discount with any I’ve bought at HFB. T&A were slightly cheaper but the travel distance wasn’t worth the cost saving. If you need anything checking on the Amarok I’ve got a full version of VCDS that can do coding etc.

That's handy to know
I've had issues with the 7-13 adaptors a few times as well.
Barlow's normally keen and decent stocks. (In normal times..)

They have all been like that for a few years now - there are usually some really sharp bits to rip your clothes on somewhere too!

I’m surprised by that - HFB are renowned for being cheap.

I don’t think many/any of the Ifor dealers offer discount over the phone as so many people ring around bouncing one dealer off another. At actual point-of-sale there is usually a bit of negotiation to be had I’ve always found though.

HFB, Barlows, IWT themselves at Deeside and my personal favourites (as they are really nice people) Morris Buftons at Ludlow have all sold me new trailers with decent discounts over the years.

I can well imagine there will be minimal discount available right now though, demand is massively outstripping supply!

all that spelter and ash is going to present rust issues fairly quickly I'd say .... not the greatest of galvy jobs
