i moved house from Hereford to Thurso using our rice tri horse. Its an old un and weighs about 1.5 tonnes in itself. It didnt appreciate having a good couple o' tonne shoved in it. Tyre machine, compressors, large generators etc all went in, in one hit. It was rammed to the gills. Jesus it was heavy. (especially the steep bit just after helmsdale where I was in low range 2nd to get up the hill!)
Im getting rid of our rice though, bastid thing just makes the tow vehicle absolutely drink. Not helped by having mud terrain tyres on the thing.
Excellent trailers though, much studier than any modern crap in my opinion
Main roads are better, but not much option when you are delivering cattle and so on, you have to use the tiny lanes.
Sounds like a solid old thing, The build quality of the older trailers was better, I feel.
Right on the max, by the sounds of it, uphills can be a nightmare if you get stopped or slowed right down at the bottom
Wouldn't like the mud tyres for towing, I always have a set of wheels with standard size ATs for towing.
