the showman 4,074 #27 Posted July 27, 2016 This is what I'm going to be pulling it with, so if you can pull it on the flat I'm not going to have a problem 3 Stormin, slf-uk and pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the showman 4,074 #35 Posted August 30, 2016 The Roller arrived this afternoon here on the South Coast and would like to thank lian Paul and Wendy for all their help in making it happen. Its so nice to be involved in this hobby and have friends willing to help when needed. . . We had some fun getting it of Pauls trailer with the Trachorse as its mega heavy she reared up but pulled it off. ive just undone 4 nuts and a couple of pins and stripped it down before Pam sees it and it easier to move. im sure the lads will have some photos to add but here's a couple of mine 3 slf-uk, Alan and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #36 Posted August 30, 2016 OK! It's in bits. But what are you going to say to Pam when you assemble it again on the lawn? 4 Alan, the showman, slf-uk and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #37 Posted August 30, 2016 I'm really pleased the journey down south went well, I always worry when I load someone else's trailer. I am sure Pam will love it It sounds like it gave the Trachorse a bit of a workout. What's the plan now? Iain 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suppose he could say "Forgot I had this Pam. I had to dig it out from the back of your wood store so I could get the latest load in. I'd better assemble it now before you moan about bits left all over the place". Might work, but if not. 4 the showman, Stormin, slf-uk and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmackellow 2,738 #42 Posted September 9, 2016 And just to confuse the "experts" the trailer survived in one piece. Here's the photos Chris wanted on here 6 slf-uk, Alan, HeadExam and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #43 Posted September 9, 2016 Great pictures. I would love to know what Chris is thinking in the first pictures, you can almost see the cogs turning . I can now see why he was pleased Pam was out for the day. The trachorse did a great job. The bit I cut off the back of the roller makes it look a bit rude Iain 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #45 Posted September 9, 2016 I did wonder how Chris was going to get it up into his yard. And I'd like to know, if when the Trachorse front end came down, did the house escape unscathed? 1 the showman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #46 Posted September 9, 2016 I was lucky Norm, it missed the house only just tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #47 Posted September 9, 2016 I think this implement is called a Cultipacker in the States. It seemed very large in the initial pictures, but even behind the tube frame Bolens it isn't overly large. While it is heavy, its supposed to be heavy to work correctly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the showman 4,074 #48 Posted September 18, 2016 Although this is on a back burner at the moment i came across a couple of bearings at Johns that just happened to be the right size for the axle. ive already got a stock of box section so just need to make some time to cut and weld up a new frame 1 Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
