Default Timber carraige

Its a bit of a long shot but here we go!

Im looking for a good timber carraige preferably a tasker. I know size wise that its the 'litle one' (4 wheel) on pneumatic tyres, im guessing 4 ton rating? It is the type that closes up on itself as opposed to having a large pole out the back. It is to go behind a steam tractor.

Im in no desperate hurry but thought i would put it out there if anyone wishes to part with theres or knows of someone else.

Thanks

James

I have a mobile number for the person concerned it is 0775 967732 I have known him for over 40 years and done deals with him but I am not interested in the reasons for your comment, if you wish me to contact him on your behalf I could do so he lives not so far away from me.

Thanks Bertie and Jimmy,

I have seen the one that you describe, and i have thought about it before. there is also a nice little wooden one on the other side of the road which im not sure if its owned by the same person? maybe jimmy may be able to confirm?

I hope we are talking about the same timber carriage the one on the side of the road is just past the little stream on a bank, it did belong to the same person as far as i know when it was put there a long time ago in fact it is fairly certain it is his I havent spoken to him for a while
now but i can ring him if you wish me to.
regards
Jimmy

Nice one on ebay, but it looks a bit big for a steam tractor. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TASKER-Pol...ingEquipment_R

I drove past the one in the new forest last weekend still sat there next to the ford, does the guy who owns it also own the tractors on the other side of the road?
