Re: what\'s your new toy?
My new toy is an early '70s F350 1-ton dually flatbed. $500, runs great, only surface rust.
What is the purpose of the seat and other controls on the trailer? This one is obviously towed, but iot looks like it has a gear shifter, foot pedal, and e-brake. Granted the lever that looks like an e-brake is probably a dump function. Over-all kinda reminds me of an old military trailer or the home-made pick-up box trailers.

Re: what\'s your new toy?
How about telling us about the features that are on this trailer. Why the lugged tires? Why the seat? with rails? Why the 'shift' lever?
On the surface, it doesn't appear to be something I'd get too excited about, other than a dump feature, but in Turkey - there may be applications and uses that are not familiar to many of us. The traditional ways of doing things are different, but form fits function. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: what\'s your new toy?
Dejavu "beenthere", seems that you've not been to here or to another place other than "there." There are a lot of different things outside USA. No, this trailer with damping is not a traditional to whole Turkey, made only in our small town here by a blacksmith workshop. It can be considered a smaller version of "tak-tak" trailer with an extra dumper unit. Here is the thread about "tak-tak" posted a few months ago.
No, these items are NOT "utilitarian" for you? Well, wondering what you are pulling behind your CUT to carry some small stffs. And, if it has a dumping unit, a brake, etc, it hurts your CUT and your budget? By the way, for you, which is more utilitarian? CUT or UT? Anyway, as I said above, this is "a toy", like all CUTs are, not an item which will help you make money. You must have somethings (old/used items) sitting there at the corner. I am sure, like here, out there too, there are many talented people with the ability to convert their salvage/used parts to such small utilitarian items.

Re: what\'s your new toy?
Nomad, beenthere simply asked you to explain the functions of the trailer. I pretty much asked the same questions. What are the apparent extra functions that we have seen, but you haven't described? By "damping" do you mean that it has a suspension?
By the way I can make pretty decent $ with my CUT. In fact some of the jobs I can make more $ with my CUT than I can with my UT.
You are right many of us create equipment from scrap and spare parts. After all, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

I like the special ground hog reduction attachment for your tak tak

Re: what\'s your new toy?
Villengineer, okay, it's my mistake. Sorry. I should have explained. It should have been "dump" instead of "damp". That is, this trailer/wagon is a "dump trailer", that is, the wagon can be lifted/tilted. It is powered by the small engine (10-15 HP) of the walk behind, what you call, motocultivator? See attachment.
Bczoom, good one. Its engine is 2-cylinder? Whats its price about?
Egon, yours is not "tak-tak" because your engine has 4 or more cylinders. Yours is "wroom-wroom". We call only 1 or 2 cylinder engine trailers as "tak tak"

Re: what\'s your new toy?
Now that makes more sense, with the power head on it (makes it go "tak-tak").
I have been to Turkey, and found it a very enjoyable experience, even though I was there for only two weeks, mostly working with the wood importing industry but visited sawmills, a paper mill, a carpet mill, and a door and window operation. Great food!

Re: what\'s your new toy?
Beenthere, where have you been to? Let me guess, the city Bolu? Wood industry is big there and their meal is indeed good.
Egon, I just bought a new toy yesterday (see attachment.)
Do you have such a toy in your New Scotland, I mean, Nova Scotia?

Re: what\'s your new toy?
We have such implements here Nomad. They are kept in proper condition and pulled by oxen or horses at country fairs. Always a competition to see who can plough the straightest furrow.
If you paid money for the pictured item you've been had. The wood frame is rotted and probably would not even make good firewood. The rusted out metal parts are not worth the cost of transporting to a scrap dealer.
The farmers here rely more on the attached type of implement for soil preparation.

I have to take a minor good hearted /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif offense to this statement.
As much as my tractor was purchased because I wanted it more then I really needed it. It is Far from a Toy !! It is a Very Valuable Tool ! and in the 1.5 years that I have owned it, it has earned, in actual billable hours, Many of its own monthly payments.
Some of it's 161 hours were put on it for the mere fun of it, but most of those hours were created out of the tractor earning it's own keep.

Re: what\'s your new toy?
Mark, why do you take an offense. I meant CUTs were not to make money, not to earn your life, not real agricultural equipments. I still don't understand why they are called C. "Utilitarian" Tractors. Are they really so, really U? If yes, then show me a NON-utilitarian tractor and I will be convinced. Anyway-.. What? It has earned its monthly payments? Are you sure you also counted cost of oil it's drunk
?
Egon, we too have those "heavy metal" cultivators. Eye disturbing. It's something like a "copy & paste" of s-tines. I mean it's a too simple technology at this time. Have a look at another fascinating technology I bought together with that plow above (see attach.) You will feel much more Carbon atoms. Btw, guess what it is. A seeder or a fertilizer/manure spreader?
