Because we’re weird, we like obscure niche pieces of machinery here at The Lego Car Blog. And they don’t come much more obscurely niche than a trailer specifically built to carry hay bales. It’s an Oehler DDK 240 BL apparently, and it’s the work of TLCB Master MOCer Eric Trax, who has teamed it with previously-blogged remote controlled JCB Fastrac and Claas Scorpion 756 telehandler.
Like his JCB and Claas, Eric’s Oehler is also motorised, with a single L Motor paired to a gearbox and winch system to allow each sidewall to raise and lower independently, granting access to the 36 brick-built straw bales held within. It’s rather mesmerising to watch in action and you can do just that at Eric’s ‘Oehler DDK 240 BL’ album and at the YouTube video here.
*Today’s title reference. Because we don’t think we’ve linked to a 1970s 317kg British wrestler yet.
