Insurance and theft
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2021 6:47 pm
For what it is worth, I recently had an IFor Williams livestock trailer stolen. From the poor cctv footage (it was at the limit of range and at night) it took 5 minutes to remove wheel clamp and hitch lock and take enough wall down to lift the gate chain over the post, hitch up and drive off. Anyone gets offered a DP120 10ft, please let me know and we can compare serial numbers
Anyway, on investigation of my insurance, it transpired that I wasn't if it wasn't hitched up.
My tractor insurance was KGM via Rowett of St Austell £136 for full agri use, myself, plus wife and daughter to drive
I checked with NFU to insure my replacement trailer and found out that they would only insure on the back of a tractor policy
Cut a long story short, the Dexta is now costing me £100.95, including all trailers and implements hitched or unhitched, anywhere in UK.
Lesson learned. Thought I would share
