Hi there

But at this stage there is nothing planned for Adelaide......

Fingers crossed for Adelaide

Curious to note that the auction listings for the NT auction are now listing No5 Trailers as "No 5 1/2 Tonne Trailers"!  Hooray, no more "Cargo 1.8x1.3m" trailers. Has someone had a word in their ears, or do Australian Frontline Machinery read the REMLR forum.

And after the Bouquets, now the Brickbats. They have 5 Cook's 750kg trailers listed. Strangely, they are consecutively listed as Mobility Class 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. An MC6 trailer must be extraordinarily difficult to tow on even the best quality roads.

I would be amazed if they do not read the forums given we are precisely their market audience!

I did send them an email about No.5 trailers, so that may have helped the change in name.

I noticed there are a few Haulmark trailers for sale at the minto auction for anyone who might be interested

[FFRMAN]

I missed the end of today's auctions but I did save a couple in my watch list, surveillance 4x4 made $15k, two  FFR's both  $8k, 6x6 $15k, cooks trailer $1800

So prices are starting to settle down, maybe the traders realise it's a very small market, farmers don't really want them as their main vehicle just as a second, too rough for tour operators.....

So if they come down another couple of grand they will be good value! then I might just have to think seriously

cheers

no 5 prices have taken a tumble might be able to afford something at the next auction

The grays rep told me there would be a an Adelaide auction in August. But he is the same guy that told me about 48-001

Some of the 6x6 in Townsville went up 10k in about 2 hours

[chezzter]

Was told on the 26th, from Kevin@grays.........."There may be a sale in Adelaide but I have nothing confirmed at this point."

Just picked mine up! 1988 110...  155k on the clock. Passed road worthy first time (apart from fitting new drivers side wing indicator - cover missing and bulb blown, all good). Great wagon... now looking for a few add on bits and rear bench seats (lower part, have the backs, just need the base cushions)... If you know of any, please let me know. Also wouldn't mind a winch.
Cousins in Oxley (Qld) bought 12 in the first round in Sydney and are trying to flog them off for $18 - $27K... I paid $8k.... so they're on for a MAJOR loss!
Be good to hear from you if you know about parts... or even appropriate battalion marks ( it has a chicken stenciled on the side!).
Cheers,
Stripey

Hi there

I also bought mine from Cousins (48 005) - and they are open to offers with warrantee, and they are keen to move them on..........

PS - it wasn't worth my efforts/gambling going to auction with the money I paid for a vehicle with rego-roadworthy & warrantee - they are a good organisation to deal with.

Welcome Stripey, good to hear from you.

That marking would actually be a Rooster methinks. I'm trying to find the reference I saw.

The Mack Cement mixer also featured "Chook Rampant" (as the Heraldry experts might say). Is that the mascot for 21 Construction Battalion?
