Brill trailer

[25 pounder]

Brill and Freuhauf trailers are getting rare nowadays , after a life in the military , farmers were happy to achieve the very strong low platform, 4 wheeled trailer for a further use in civilian life. So far we found 2 trailers (with lots of work to be done) , but to valuable to go to the scrap heap. One of them is now equipped with the .50 cal Maxson , the other one is stored and awaits restoration.

Is that a J.G. Brill trailer?

Awesome looking trailer! I think that design would be a lot more use full that the high deck trailers. Why did they do away with that style? Great build.

Lot less ground clearance. Think about going through a ditch with a deuce and an M105, then think about trying to do that in a CCKW with this thing.

I had a chance to get one of these, before I was in the hobby. Wow, I hate to think of all the stuff I have passed on in my life.

one advantage , bottom (underside) is very flat , no obstacles when towed over rouigh ground , it behaves as a sled
