Thoughts on this Cat 301.7+Trailer combo?

[MaxC]

Still hunting for a nice 2ton+trailer combo for a few jobs coming up, what do you guys make of these cats? I have looked at a few in person but not run one yet.

You need to operate it to sati yourself, but mechanically they’re okay.

That’s an awful looking trailer….

Still prettier than their women.

(So I've heard!)

That's pretty much the top brand trailer in my part of the country for this size, you talking about the lean on the ramps or something else?

Hey come on now we have some better looking birds then your spray tanned chavs mate.

I was expecting you to come back with some comment about some Ashes or some such, but you're not wrong there!

You've got to get down to the Home Counties for the tasty looking posh birds. Essex might as well be Mars to me.

You forgot about the tattoos, Botox and balloon lips

Ramps look wrong yeah, but also it’s not very handy for anything else.. one trick pony maybe?

Also where do you put the breaker the wackerplate, 2 bags of cement , the random length of chain, water drum and assortment of crumpled red bull cans

Yeah but it is light, certain parts of the world you could get a 5 toner on that

 

[V8Druid]

certainly not UK legal for sure with an old non damped Bradly Double lock coupling ... 'tis a weird looker for sure

BTW ... need to come to Wales for the best birds

You ever been to Rhyl?
I also went to mountain ash once. Thought it was the fallout from a nuclear incident

I was going to say something like Jonny Bairstow is the best looking pussy you lads have to offer.

Yeah they are pretty much only for Minis and skids and not much else, they are sturdy as hell and last a long bloody time so pretty much every dealer here does packaged deals with their machines and these trailers.

You just get some boxes and rings welded on for all that, or it goes in the back of the tipper and instead of the red bull its just cans of VB in the back seats.

I don't think they are Bradley double lock like we get here. Wheni was in NZ they where similar hitches but hydraulic brakes. Also the electric sockets where absolute W*NK.

yeh body does look slightly different, but deffo mechanical cables (see shadow below) and can't see any sign of damping -- solid ol' trailer though
