KTwo gone bust?

I heard he has passed. Was it more his thing & thats why Newrock seemed to disappear? My neighbour has been selling Redrock since some time in the 90’s I think it must be. Unloaded lots for him over the years & always heard lots about Sammy & my neighbours trips over to the factory.
He’s shifting quite a lot of Redrock kit lately, over a fairly big area. Especially for a one man band. So Redrock must be doing quite well.
Good luck to them.
It's good, well made stuff, we have a Redrock tanker (2yo) and an agitator (3mo) . People know it's good stuff as well so its a chain reaction. There's only really one Redrock dealer in Scotland currently and that's Jenkies, but they seem to be shifting mountains of red kit.

Redrock it would seem certainly have their eyes on expansion anyway, they've just built a second factory and they are always coming out with new products and updating old ones. Now they've bought Ktwo it will be incredibly interesting to see what comes out of it.

I would like to know what’s wrong with the ktwo silage trailer?
Draw bar design is shocking and the skid/shoe is ridiculously to low/near to the ground,to the point you have to take it off to move it between fields as it catches the floor continuously

Not sure if they are all the same but I know of a fairly new ktwo silage trailer where the tailgate extension is held on by 2 pieces of rather thin 100x50 box spigoted into the tailgate held in with m16 bolts Both pieces failed at the bolt hole and the extension fell off.

16t k2 rodeo was so unstable on banks with a level load of maize it was actually scary,the angle of the draw bar running from the chassis to the ring hitch is completely to blame in my opinion
When you look at other main brands,the draw bar is dead straight in line with the chassis.
I’m sure there are owners of these trailers that think they are the bees knees,and obviously hearing negative comments will upset them 🧚‍♀️

Ktwo probably the best silage trailer Iv towed out of R western, Stewart, smyth, kane, Marshall, Bailey 🤷🏻‍♂️ but Iv always been told too take the f**king shoe off as soon as you couple any silage trailer on 😂

Chopper driver does tend to get a tad upset if you leave on the shoe, then drag a big lump out the row taking a short cut across it 🙈

Drove a forager for 7 years for a contractor so I do try not too be a monkey if I can avoid it 😅 but I do take great pleasure when I back into the clamp as straight as possible and take my sweet time about tipping in the middle of the yard as badly as possible for the buckrake man 😅😭

Gets a bit repetitive on maize when your doing small fields all day 👍
We don’t cross the swaths on grass silage so not a big thing to leave the shoe on 👍
