That's a bit posh having two, when the ole boy's just a few miles away are struggling to afford one , there was a lovely one like yours at Acle the other week but after several bids ( mine included ) it didn't reach the reserve , if you ever think about putting yours in one of there quality sales , can you let me know and I will dive into the grand children's inheritance and have a little go at trying to secure it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Did you settle on putting an ibc on it? I've got a spare ibc laying about, thinking of using it for water on the bottom paddock, too lazy to dig a pipe in! Got a small trailer laying in the nettles but it's not as nice as yours!

ditchman Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 when that IBC is full it will weigh 1000kgs....(2200lbs).... is the drawbar strong enough is the quad bike man enough ............................? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was also my worry. Drawbar needed to be box section really. The quad will pull it, stopping it down a slope may be a different question. Tidy job though all the same.

I put those same questions to my grandson at the beginning Simon, build it he said so I built it. I will give a full account and pictures on launch day.

la bala Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) One small alteration. I forgot the cut out for the tap. The press came in handy for the tie down hooks. Being collected tomorrow. Edited April 21, 2019 by la bala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thats a great piece of work i am in awe of PW skills I would not want to tow it on a quad though particularly without brakes and on squidgy tyres. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thought had been nagging me a bit ditchman. Will be popping down shortly to fit the tank, will report back. Ah well its only a bit of cutting and welding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
