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
