Corgi Toys 62; Farm Tipper Trailer

This tipper trailer replaced the old Massey Ferguson 30cwt tipper trailer which had been in the range since 1959. It was released in February 1965 and remained in the range until 1972. It occurs to me that this trailer has a lot in common with the Dodge Kew Fargo truck. The tipper version of the Kew Fargo shares its tipper back with this trailer and if you take the cattle truck back from the other Kew Fargo and put it on the chassis for this trailer you get the Beast Carrier trailer.

OK if you are still with me, there are no listed variations on this trailer and values tend to be modest. It should have 'raves' which are vertical extensions to the front and tail boards used when carrying hay bales to make a tall load more secure.

This Corgi Toy was sourced in May 2013 from Lacy Scott & Knight auctioneers
