Muck trailers

[Mari]

I’m thinking of getting a small (?) muck trailer & having it emptied regularly rather than a large muck heap in the back yard. I have 3 ponies out all day & in at night. I know nothing about muck trailers or getting them emptied. Please tell me your experiences / what you know about them. Yay or nay?

we acquired one this year, it is the one that the guy used to use to pick it up and take it down the allotments but he lost barn space and didn't use it enough himself to warrant building one.
The big thing about trailers is access, most ramp set ups are terrible and get very slippy very easily. Our DIY yard one was quite good as had sleepers keeping an earth bank topped with stone around two sides so you could load into the back.

My mum put a very good ramp in via my dad's carpenter best mate but they still had to make grip alterations.

It also fills up quicker than we'd probably like and it's quite a big trailer.
