My home-built ATV/UTV
spray/flatbed trailer, for use while being towed by my ATV.
I needed a sturdy, rugged, high-clearance trailer to tow
my spray equipment behind my ATV with, in order to keep
the weeds down around my Grandfather's farm where I couldn't
reach with tractors and plows. It needed to be able to spray
from a nozzle array behind the trailer, as well as allowing
for spray wand use for hard-to-reach areas.
This trailer has a removable spray tank & assemblies,
so I can use it as a flatbed trailer or to carry other equipment
as needed. The majority of the undercarriage pieces and
bits came from items I had on hand already, while the tires
& wheels came from a couple of old non-functioning riding
lawnmowers I found on my Grandfather's property (the rest
of the mowers were scrapped; they were in sorry shape).
I made a protective cover for this end of the spray wand
assembly, as some of the plastic connectors were pretty
brittle and I didn't want some of the heavy brush and trees
to break anything while I was spraying. I used a piece of
2x4-inch steel rectangular tubing for the guard. And if
you look carefully, you can also see that this end is adjustable,
and telescopes into the larger tubing of the old spray wand
assembly. |

Silver State Specialties was created in 1999 to offer quality resin
accessories, replacement parts and conversion kits, suitable for
many 1/25-scale plastic model kits. SSS specializes in accessories
and parts for plastic model pickup, SUV, 4x4, and heavy truck &
trailer kits. 1/32-scale and 1/35-scale parts and accessories
will be available in the future for model truck kits, such as the
1/32 Monogram Snap-Tite and ERTL snap-together kits, as well as
1/35-scale Revell, Italeri, AFV Club, Trumpeter, Airfix, Heller,
Tamiya, and other military model truck kits.
Some of these smaller scale model kits are quite well detailed,
and a wide variety of photo-etched, resin, and other accessories
are widely available for most of these military truck model kits.
What's even more exciting is the line of 1/24th & 1/25th-scale
military model kits and conversions we are in the early stages of
developing, to nicely compliment your ERTL, AMT, Italeri, Revell,
and other brands of truck models.
Silver State Specialties is working on resin accessories and complete
kits for G- gauge outdoor garden railway trains ("Large Scale")
in 1/24th-scale. Some patterns have been completed, and many more
are under construction. These kits and accessories will include
complete Beyer-Garratt style of locomotives and Narrow Gauge ore
hopper cars, as well as 24-inch & 30-inch gauge industrial equipment
in this same scale.
SSS also has master patterns partially completed for many 1/16-scale
model truck accessories and conversion kits, mainly for the Monogram-Revell
1/16-scale model truck kits. Some projected accessories for
these 1/16-scale kits are front drive axles, different wheels and
tires, air cleaner accessories, pusher and tag axles, oil filters
and engine accessories, and possibly different engines. Cab
& hood conversion kits remain a possibility for these monsters
as well, but are still years away from being offered as there are
more pressing projects to push forward with first. But someday
they should be available!
Thank you for your continued support!
