I've been using an old Weekes two wheel tipping trailer for many years
to collect horsemuck and have it taken away by a local farmer. It's
been patched up and kept going a few times but the tipping deck has
finally given up the ghost. The chassis, wheels and ram are still
decent but I have put another old trailer into service and the Weekes
is surplus to requirements.
It might make an interesting project for someone to restore it and
take to shows with restored tractors. Anybody interested?

Don't know about showing but, for highway use, agricultural trailers are
required to have brakes in working order. Particularly a functional
handbrake.


The David Brown 25D that I learned to 'drive' on, didn't have
any functioning brakes at all (full of mud, cow-**** and
seized up).
