Towing With The Grenadier

[rovie]

That was my opinion and have owned numerous IWT over many decades. Now I'm not so sure and my next trailers will be "Nugent" trailers, seem better built. They make other farm equipment as well. Made in Northern Ireland not sure if they are available in the EU.

I haven't heard of Nugent yet.
However, I haven't looked into it recently.

I also thought the Rice trailers at the time were great. I once saw an old one in the Cotswolds and I'm still annoyed that I didn't ask if I could buy it back then.

A lot of UK based trailers end up on the Emerald Island eventually! Full circle.

Is that the stolen ones

Is that the stolen ones

Yes, in the same HGVs as the rollers, excavators and every other type of construction plant.

Picking up from dealer

Is it better to tie from the hooks as you’ve done or the wheels down? I’m no expert on this just curious !

Ours get stolen from N. Ireland on a Friday night and are located working in London by Sunday morning, two way traffic.

Definitely securing by wheels/axles is preferred method to allow vehicle suspension to work like normal going down the road. Because the Ineos has axles, I only brought axles straps to the dealer, but did not forsee the lack of clean access to wrap around the axle. Seemed like there was interference of some kind no matter what I tried. So, I just went with the hooks. Not far to go and all highway. I didnt want to get a temp plate in NH to drive it off the lot in Mass, so towed it home and picked up a permanent plate the next day.

That makes sense. Thanks!

I was going to lasso the wheels but my 8’ straps were not long enough so I ended up having to go through the wheels to strap down.

Yes they don't all go to Ireland. A firm round here had a 13 tonner stolen, months later one of the staff was on holiday in Dubai, and there it was on a building site, still had the sign writing on it.... There's some crooked dealers and exporters for sure..
