          Well I have had about 7 tons in it no bother! It's my dads trailer. The floor needs some patching but other than that is a good trailer. I have been thinking of giving it a fix up and making a back door for it that opens as it tips.

            What are you carrying?

            10x6x2=120cu ft = 3.4cu m

            crushed stone @ 2ton/cu m = 6.8 ton level................

            Clay dry @ 1.2ton/cu M = 4.8 ton level.......

                    That is handy to know Stock .. Ive often wondered about that ... we could sticky that one for info I saw ye had potatoes in there fella ye can take the man out of Ireland and all that .... but ... speaking of which (as a fan) I had a first batch of new 'uns tonight with the roast chicken and they were gorgeous ... why is it that people are soo into major technical cooking and flavours when the humble spud has such a great range of flavours of its own ?
                    Please don't PM me for plant advice.. thanks .. Post in the forum where I will gladly help, as will many of our contributors.. as the info and responses will help everyone else, which is why we exist
