Deutz Fahr Agrotron Tractor

Rear tow hitch featured on this tractor is a basic one, designed to tow the triple-axle chassis unit well all trailers can be fixed on top to be used around the farm, one at a time.
Triple-Axle Chassis
Interchangeable trailer set don't need wheels to tow; instead they're lifted onto this triple-axle chassis which acts as a base for all three Siku Joskin trailers in 1:87 scale.
All trailers have an elevation support unit that rolls out, before dropping down to allow each trailer unit to stand on four support legs - this triple-axle unit then manoeuvres beneath it to connect.
Joskin Vacuum Slurry Trailer

Filled up using the twisting action of a hose; its then positioned near a tank, manure pit or likewise - the Joskin Manure Spreader trailer included in this set, as a way to access slurry from the open back.
Joskin Silage Trailer
Siku Joskin trailer unit with yellow panels is in fact a transportation unit for silage. In the field tractor/trailer would ride side-by-side next to self-propelled forager for it to be poured into this trailer.
Its then driven back to the yard where the packed in silage is emptied into a silage pit via the opening rear tailgate - no tipping up action so silage has to be pushed out manually on this trailer set.
Joskin Manure Spreader
Siku Joskin Manure Spreader is a trailer unit with extra bulk in the rear tailgate. Its for the use of hauling across the prepared land before driving up and down to spread manure across the ground.
Deutz tractor would position manure spreader near to manure pit or tank; filling up the open back before arriving at the farm field to give it a good spreading of manure.
All In One Trailer Set
Well all three Joskin trailer units are not trailers in the conventional sense - refer to the triple-axle chassis unit - they're instead static cargo units which are only useful when hauled on top of chassis.
Offloading trailer unit requires they pull out support legs, well the chassis can they move away. Though, when it comes to preparing fields for crops, the whole Joskin trailer unit is used for that purpose only.
