Does anyone have any information on the Wickham-Poole trailer system. I have got a bot of info off google and Flickr, but I believe brochures were published on the system and various trailers available. Would anyone have such information?
Thanks

Re: Wickham-Poole system
The County Tractors dvd has clips of tippers and bolster pipe trailers - I couldn't say which were Shawnee or Wickham. There used to be two of the bolster trailers in a field near Godalming. Probably gone now though.
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

I'm very good thanks Fred.
That pic of the Ford D was the only Wickham-Poole thing I could find on net

Re: Wickham-Poole system
Put Wickham-Poole into Google and select images, a good few come up. Also search Wickham-Poole in Flickr.
I did hear/read somewhere that Shawnee-Poole dumpers were more or less permanently connected to the tractor, whereas Wickham-Poole was a quick hitch system, but then there looks to be Shawnee-Poole dumpers in use with the Wickham-Poole system.
Any idea of the location of those Bolster trailers, trying to get some dimensions of them?

Re: Wickham-Poole system
Sorry, it's got to be at least 15 years ago. There was a farm sale and they were in the long grass, not part of the auction. Farncome springs to mind.
