After the test run, first mission: pick up windfall from the road down to the river.

This is why I serviced the already overhauled tractor first - I really wanted to be sure the brakes work. Had to stop on that hill repeatedly to pick up piles of logs.

Great success, not only did everything fit in the trailer, the Iseki pulled it back up the steep and snowy path with ease.

A lot easier than by wheelbarrow! 😅

Bonus: A nice sunset.

Tractor and trailer again. Now fully laden with logs from fallen trees and some snow, they are parked in front of a barn for unloading.
A nice sunset peeking out under cloud cover. A tall tree and some snowy landscape.
The trailer, unhitched and tilted back like a dump trailer, the hitch supported by a stick, giving me ideas for improvements.

Trailer sides done. Had to saw two more boards , the short ends are recycled from the old sides minus the rotten parts.

Some green table legs got shaped to fit the slots.

The top is removable, for easier unloading/sweeping and in case I just want the flat bed trailer.

Hauled some scrap wood around the yard for a first test.

Needs some oil on the floor and paint for sides+frame, but I want to improve the frame a bit first.

A small trailer, welded from steel by a previous farmer. It has a new bed and walls made from old stored wood, scraps and parts of the previous walls. Some red and black powertools are laying on the bed. There's a little wheel with a rust rim visible. The surrounding is a messy farm covered with snow.
A nice blue Iseki mini-tractor is towing the trailer, which has a pile of snowy scraps of half rotten wood piled on it.
Same tractor pulling the trailer. The walls are removed and tipped on the side, on the ground, leaving a flatbed trailer. The pile of half rotten wood has been dumped behind. The bed is now full of snow.

New floor for the small #tractor #trailer. Found some old boards stacked in one of the barns, then made made a 3m long jig for sending them through the table saw from two pieces of door architrave and some scraps.

Cutouts where the frame had reinforcements welded in and voila, new floor. I'll add braces when I've redone the frame.

Also a wheelbarrow of scraps for the following hot shower (well, tub of warm water to pour over the head).

A tablesaw standing outside near a yellow house. A long plank is supported between the table saw and a sawhorse behind it. The plank is screwed to a long white door architrave (itself made from two pieces screwed together with a third) by three small pieces of wood, two parallel and one at a ~50° angle. One side of the workpiece is already straight from having been sent through the table saw. The other is still as it came off the tree, wavy and with some bark on it. The cutoff lays to the side in the snow.
A small steel frame trailer. Half of its floor has new planks slotted in. A plain sawn board leans against it.
The same trailer, now completly planked. The outermost planks have cutouts for a reinforcement in the steel frame. A wooden mallet rests on top. The ground is snowy.
A wheelbarrow filled with mostly slim offcuts from the trailer floor job. They've been cut or broken to length.

Well, they both held air over night, but the right tyre cracked down the centerline and will probably fall apart soonish.

On the upside, I found another spare in the garage, that one looks good. Alas, these have inner tubes and the matching tube had a huge gash in it.

Still, tubes aren't expensive, tyres are :)

Same little trailer as yesterday. The old tyres on it are holding air, but the near one has a visible long crack down the center. Two replacement tyres are stacked on wooden boards on top of the bare frame, these are covered in dirt and spiderwebs but look ok. An inner tube is next to them, with a gash so large a glove could be stuffed in for illustration puposes.

Trailer #3 is going to be the real challenge.

It's still packed full of crap, has one tyre that isn't seated on the rusty wheel and without valve and one metal wheel. At least that can't go flat.

Also, there's lots of crap underneath, including more cans of mystery fluids that I haven't even inspected/sniffed yet.

And there's a ton of stuff in front blocking it in. But it's gotta go so I can turn this barn into a workshop.

A large rubber tyre. The bead isn't seated on the wheel at all, it's about 5cm in. Not sure if it's even the right width.
The other side has a metal wheel with spokes welded to a hub. More junk is underneath the trailer.
Close-up of the rim with the rubber tyre. There is a rusty hole where the valve should be. A valve can be inserted, but won't inflate anything with the bead so far out.

Found a suitable piece of square tube in the treasure hoard.

Plan is to cut away the bent L profile, put that square tube in its place, then make diagonals from the axle and cut away the middle section of the axle to increase ground clearance, like this:

|/▔▔▔\|

Then a new bed from reclaimed wood. Should have enough long pieces laying around.

And removable sides. The old were mostly rotten, I saved what I could and cut the rest up for the sauna.

Trailer from before. A previously used piece of square tube is resting on top of the axle, looking the same size. It has some holes in one end and welded tangs from previous use. It's illustrating where approximately it should go.

Trailer #2, the little one. The wooden bed was rotten, one tyre flat, the other perished, but surprisingly, they're both holding air. Not sure if it lasts, we'll see tomorrow.

Cleaned up a bit, one bearing is worn but turns for now so it got grease.

I'd like to modify the axle for more ground clearance and make a new bed, as this size is perfect for hauling stuff from the forest - much more agile than the big flat bed.

Finally some room in the garage!

Small tractor trailer with wooden bed standing in front of a messy workshop/garage/barn. It's made from unpainted steel that is somewhat rusty and the wood is rotten and crumbling away at the ends. The wheel is old and oval.
Same trailer, now stripped of the rotten wood, which is laying on the side. The steel frame is exposed, another DIY welded thing, but strong enough for its size. The axle is a square profile steel beam that is going the width of the trailer, not ideal for farm/forest roads that tend to heap up in the middle. A piece of rope is on the tow bar for moving by hand, which is possible with this when empty. A rolled up sheet of galvanized steel is on the far side.
A castellated nut with a rusty wrench on it, nearly undone. This holds the wheel and bearing in place. Old black grease is oozing out.
The trailer, now tipped on the side for easy access to the top wheel. The bottom wheel is flat on the ground with a matching spare tyre next to it.

Cleared the stuff off the big trailer and cleaned it a little. This thing is rather large and beefy, can haul a lot with that.

Will have to see if it fits down the forest road though, it's pretty wide. The huge tyres are a boon though.

Balance is good, it's about 100kg on the drawbar when empty, which is fine for our tractor.

I'm clearing the small trailer next. That one has a flat tyre, but hopefully it's just from sitting for ages and will hold air.

A very big DIY flatbed trailer with large truck tyres. The frame is made from big steel profiles, the bed just from thin sheets that have been thrown on and welded together with some overlaps and gaps. There's pipes with wooden posts stuck in them spread around the edge.

Drove the tractor to the tractor barn and did a conscious uncoupling of the rotavator, as we don't need that just yet.

Then back to the garage and fitted the nice multi-purpose drawbar and long top-link that I got them to throw in with the purchase.

Finally, first job @davepolaschek - haul the big old trailer out, unblocking the rest of the big barn.

Trailer looks homemade, but has a very strong frame and the tyres even still had air 😲

Rear of a blue tractor. A blue accessory has been uncoupled from the three point hitch and left behind. There's some leftover metal roof items on top of some wooden planks behind. The floor is dirt and hay.
Rear of the tractor with a new black drawbar fitted to the three point hitch. A silver grey long top link has also been fitted. The draw bar has a towing pin for a ring and on the reverse side a metal ball for a regular car trailer. A rusty old trailer is hooked onto it.
Blue Iseki tractor with a large old trailer in front of open barn doors. The trailer still has some stuff on it. The tyres look a little low on air, but held admirably for their age. The trailer is a home welded flat bed with wheel arches and some wooden sticks in tubes for retaining cargo. It's larger than the tractor.
