Was the floor good in that Dooley?Go way. Is that a Dooley. It was sitting in a lads yard in Cavan who used to draw waste paint from wellmans. He has another k&p trailer which he wants around the same money for it but the floor is rotten in it.
It was solid but spongy. You couldn't break it (tried with the bucket of the digger) but you'd think ya could by the looks of it. The spongyness must be a result of the 3 inches of paint on it before we cleaned it.Was the floor good in that Dooley?

Nearly had that bought for 200 let another lad buy it because he needed it more than me. Thanks, hopefully I'll be able to find one with the help of this forum.
There's a set lying in the yard that will fit it that are in good nick. They've been there for ages, think they came off an old milk wagon or bale trailer. My lucks turning around 🤣Won't have much joy getting wheels for that trailer I reckon. 750x20 or around that I'd say and not common.

Looking for a skidsteer. Ideally New Holland but other makes considered. LS160 or bigger and newer. Has to have enclosed cab and heater.
I'd consider anything of an appropriate size, even in need of repair.
Know of one that was bought in need of repair . Several mechanics and lots of parts later . It still sits in need of more repair.
was looking for a ls 160 myself, seen nothing with 12 mts
Any idea what kind of stuff went wrong with it?
If I find something we'll have an LX565 for sale. Only reason it's going is we want one with an enclosed cab and heater.
Are you sure they are Dooley trailers? I know there was a trailer manufacturer either in Kingscourt or Shercock Co.Cavan called Rowntree Trailers. We have one at home and the way I know them is that the chasis rails are at an angle and welded together at the front to make the drawbar.On the topic of dooleys here's another one in Cavan which sold only a few months ago at the ballyjamesduff auctions for if I remember correctly 700 euro. There is another one down the road identical that belongs to your man who was the first owner of my 135. Wonder what's the deal with all these old dooleys in Cavan.

I thought they were made by rowntrees too but everyone's telling me here that that first one anyway is a Dooley and the first one is identical to that one on done deal. I reckon they're rowntrees too but I've been proven wrong about a lot of things lately so I'm not in much of a position to argue.Are you sure they are Dooley trailers?

The second one has the same Chasis and body as me and me uncle that has the first went to look at it at the ballyjamesduff auctions. He reckons the 2 are rowntrees but also reckons my tractor was sold new with the cab that's on it so you can understand why I'm sceptical.The 1 st one strikes me as a Dooley. I might get a picture of a similar one in the next few days . The 2nd , I wouldnt be so sure about.
would have a interest alrightAny idea what kind of stuff went wrong with it?

I'd say they're rowntrees, either way it's a pretty well built trailer at the end of the day.Cavan is less than 3 hrs from Dooley’s by car no matter which way you go, and ye are on about trailers that are heading on for 30year old, they could have changed hands many times over the years and moved further up the country with each change. Its not uncommon to see the likes of an older kane trailer in cork and their made up north so it’s hardly that big a jump that a trailer from Kilkenny could make it to Cavan.
it’s also highly possibly that they are rowntrees, and that the build is almost identical to a Dooley. There’s not really that many different ways to build a trailer at the end of the day. A treacy and a Gillespie also look very similar too
2 local merchants bought fleets off them possibly around that time, one got a few new steel bodied ones in the early 90’s the other rebuilt a go of them. We’ve one of them here and it has the number 59 on the drawbar, I’m not sure wether that was just a random number or if they did actually number them consecutively.Dooley trailers made their way down here in their droves in the 70s
What kind of work do you use it for, would it handle a bale of silageAny idea what kind of stuff went wrong with it?

A lot of trailers like that were home made years ago and they near all looked the same.The 1 st one strikes me as a Dooley. I might get a picture of a similar one in the next few days . The 2nd , I wouldnt be so sure about.
