This one is sized for the jobs that actually generate work: a felled tree that needs moving down to the log store, a bulk bag of aggregate that arrived on the drive rather than where you needed it, a season's fencing materials to get out to the far boundary. Rated to \u003cstrong\u003e680kg\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \u003cstrong\u003e17 cu.ft\u003c\/strong\u003e bed, the SP22102 is the heavy end of the towed-trailer range — the point where a smallholding stops making trips and starts making one trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo-thirds of a tonne, behind a ride-on\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e680kg (1500lb)\u003c\/strong\u003e rating is roughly double what a mid-size garden trailer will carry, and it is the number that changes what the machine is for. A cubic metre of dry topsoil is around 1,200kg; half of that in one go is a serious dent in a delivery. Logs, rubble, ballast, feed sacks — the sort of load where a lighter trailer flexes, sags and eventually bends its axle — are simply within this one's working range. Towing is by \u003cstrong\u003ehitchpin and hole\u003c\/strong\u003e, so it goes behind most ride-on mowers, garden tractors and compact tractors without adaptation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA long, wide bed rather than a deep box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cargo bed measures \u003cstrong\u003e155 x 94 x 38.5cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that shape is deliberate. Long and wide beats tall and narrow when the load is awkward rather than merely heavy: fence posts lie flat, timber does not need cutting down, sheet material and bagged goods sit properly instead of being wedged in at an angle. It also keeps the centre of gravity low, which is what stops a fully loaded trailer trying to steer for you on a slope. If you want depth for loose bulk, our smaller \u003cstrong\u003eSP22136\u003c\/strong\u003e has the taller sides; if you want footprint and payload, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTip it with your foot\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnloading is on a \u003cstrong\u003efoot-pedal release\u003c\/strong\u003e. Pull up where the load needs to go, step on the pedal, and the bed does the work — no shovelling out, no wrestling a tailgate with your hands full. On loose material like soil, compost, gravel and chippings that is the difference between a two-minute job and a twenty-minute one, and across a working week it is the feature you will notice most.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOff-road tyres sized for the load\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SP22102 runs on \u003cstrong\u003e16 x 5-inch (650-8) pneumatic off-road tyres\u003c\/strong\u003e — wider than the tyres on lighter trailers, because 680kg on a narrow tyre is a set of ruts waiting to happen. The extra width spreads the weight across soft turf, wet tracks and paddock ground, and the pneumatic construction absorbs the shock that would otherwise go straight into the frame and the load. Overall the trailer is \u003cstrong\u003e207.5 x 103.5 x 81.5cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, so allow for its length when manoeuvring in a tight yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmallholdings, paddocks, estates, woodland and working gardens — anywhere the volume of material moved in a year justifies doing it properly. Log extraction and firewood, muck and bedding, topsoil and compost deliveries, hardcore and aggregate, leaf clearance at scale, fencing and building materials. At \u003cstrong\u003e61.5kg\u003c\/strong\u003e empty it is heavy enough to feel planted under load and still light enough to reposition by hand in the shed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spectrum SP22102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum load capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 680kg (1500lb)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBed volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17 cu.ft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBed dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 155 x 94 x 38.5cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 207.5 x 103.5 x 81.5cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTyres:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16″ x 5″ \/ 650-8 pneumatic off-road\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e foot-pedal operated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e hitchpin and hole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNet weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61.5kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGross weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePacked dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 155 x 48 x 24cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBacked for five years\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpectrum machinery carries our \u003cstrong\u003e5-year warranty\u003c\/strong\u003e — well beyond the two years that is normal in this category, and a fair reflection of what a steel trailer with no engine and no electronics ought to last.
