Tractors...

Measured it today. 2.34 wide, 4.3 something long. Those measurements are on the side of caution though. Can remeasure to greater accuracy if you want. The digger is a proper tight fit, was brought to fit though, and as it does. The dozer blade is proper tight only 10mm each side maybe even less.

Cheers, will deffo look into one of them when the time comes.
I like the fact they are a nice low trailer so you can load with a smaller machine too, prob drive the 3ton dumper straight into the back and tip in maybe?(or is that mega dodgy )

Done it plenty myself but it's not easy to get a good load on without spilling over sides. 1 ton hi tip dumper works a treat tho

Not mine but just looks the bees knees.. yet to find anyone who has put any kind of digger in the back of a broughan yet...

Just ordered a new 14t broughan, same as above but in a darker grey.. lonnnng waiting at the moment but I’ve waited 18 years to get one so some extra weeks won’t hurt!! Viewing a tidy looking Deere this week, it looks mint in the photos, but you never know.

Also got some wheels to pull it around with!! Got some hours on it but it’s been extremely well looked after.

My guy has one of these I’ll ask him for a review

I don’t tend to run mine any more, not living at yard, awkward access at yard and being really hilly rd here takes to long to get anywhere. Can’t be arsed to muck away etc easier to load a wagon or grab.

but still got tractor and my mate runs Valtra,tm270 and fastrac and moves my stuff or brings me aggregate etc.

Saw this set up other day guy had specially made to get digger in

Apparently this setups for sale for £21k

I’ve the older herbst dump loader, holds 10 ton of mot, creaks like f**k with tb108fr on it. Is scary going up the ramps, ramps and heavy and s**t, once tried getting steel sh70 up them on side of road . But it is handy for some jobs, tail board snaps off for fun a lot, snd has To be stowed up front to move machine.

used the little low loader other day to move three ton, was much easier than putting it in dump loader

mate has the nc dump loader moves his 8 ton jcb about on he likes it but has ordered broughton one.

Did consider something like this, the next site is 4 acres big , handy to drop a bin at one end etc! But unloading on smaller sites would be a real pain due to the sheer length when it’s all rolled out..

 

[DaveDCB]

Interesting he’s swapping the NC out, looks like new still!
I very nearly ordered a NC, but broughan came in cheaper- which was abit of a shock tbh!

Doesn't look very fkin Agricultural to me

Ive used a couple of hookloader trailers.
That one looks to be on the shorter bins which are more expensive to buy second hand.
And I'm not sure if it has a rear roller. The rear drop down rollers is a must have if loading heavy bins and machines.
Makes them far more stable and stops it trying to pickup the back of the tractor.
Finally the trailers with the axles located centrally are much nicer to tow than the ones with the axles at the rear like a normal Agri trailer, they are more manouverable and ride better.
They are very heavy trailers.
