FarmShop estimates that this Cashels 8T trailer paid for itself in less than 97 hours

FarmShop conducted a return-on-investment analysis, estimating that a trailer performing 7.5 times faster at $40 per hour would equal an ROI of $300 per hour, meaning a $29,000 investment was paid off in just under 97 hours.   

Known as the best value tip-trailer in New Zealand, Cashels’ multi-purpose drop-side trailers are designed for everyday haulage tasks on farm. Built with quality and strength in mind, they are perfect for transporting sand, gravel, topsoil, fertiliser, grain and more.

Based in the west of Ireland, Cashels is a leading international designer, manufacturer, and exporter of specialised agricultural and construction equipment. Established in 1985, they have more than 35 years of fine-tuning their offering.

Cashels Trailers comprise a robust lower chassis fabricated from a heavy-duty 180mm channel and incorporate a 150x150mm structural box section drawbar. The chassis is fitted with a heavy-duty bogey axle as standard. A durable tipping body with easily removable 2.5mm hinged drop sides enables the trailers to be used as flatbeds. The floors are fabricated from 5mm mild steel, which sits on heavy-duty cross-member channels.

Road legal lights are fitted inside the rear bumpers, protecting them from harsh working conditions. Attention to detail, combined with a superior build, emphasises the quality and strength of these products.

Other features and benefits include 70mm ADR 6-Stud axles, spreader chains, a hydraulic tailgate and brakes, an innovative quick hitch stand, a tapered tipping body for ease of load discharge, reinforced pivot points, and a swivel towing eye. The deck measurements of the
eight-tonne are 2.1 metres wide and 3.9 metres long. The 10-tonne deck measures 2.25 metres wide and 4.2 metres long.

An investment worth considering with a Cashels Trailer is the New Zealand-made Rata quick hitch. Customer Brad Allan has a 480-hectare operation at Pouto, Northland and uses the quick hitch with his eight-tonne Cashels Trailer for various tasks, including carting dirt, limestone, and shifting kernel. He says he finds the trailer well-balanced under heavy loads.

"The brakes are an awesome safety feature on heavy loads and the single working ram is excellent. It’s easy to take the sides off for carting bales around
as well."
