20 ton Eager Beaver Tag trailer
So now that I have a few dump trucks I figured I need a tag trailer for them. The frame is based off of a Eager Beaver 20 ton 20XPT trailer.
I've ordered some tires and rims from Ric and getting some ramps 3D printed from Brian, I hope to cut the wood this week and have it finished by the end of the week. [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]

Re: 20 ton Eager Beaver Tag trailer
Wayne, I used frame stock for the outer frame and 3/4" plywood channel for the inner frame. Both rails will be exposed when finished, the wood planks will go between the rails. I'm using duel PMD wheels and 65mm tires.
Thanks Keith.

Hi Kaf343
That look like a good start for your first tag trailer. I can't wait to see it finished. I am look at a low loader or demo semi for my first trailer. Regards from Cameron.

Re: 20 ton Eager Beaver Tag trailer
Trailer is looking great, too great for what I am used to seeing on the roads.
To get the true scale points I think it will need a bit of weathering. Once you get it painted you need to saok it down with water and warp some of the wood so the ends stick up. Then go at it with a hammer and chisel and make some holes that are just small enough that the backhoe wheel doesnt fall completely through. Then remove 2/3 of one of the diamond plate wheel covers and repace it with a couple layers of half rotten scale plywood. Finally cake a good thick layer of several different colors mud all over it. A shredded tire on a rusty rim laying on the tongue will add some extra style points.
