Hey there any other issues with the Kane? Looking at the Herron 9ton but prefer the wider wheels on Kane 10ton!Had to drill a hole in my kane dropside earlier in the year

Herron will put wider wheels on if you want, although they say it takes a bit of weight off the drawbar.Hey there any other issues with the Kane? Looking at the Herron 9ton but prefer the wider wheels on Kane 10ton!
How does a wider wheel affect drawbar weight?Herron will put wider wheels on if you want, although they say it takes a bit of weight off the drawbar.

Wider wheels have a bigger diameter so the axles need to be further apart.How does a wider wheel affect drawbar weight?
Ah, so they must extend the bogie and have to move it forward. You wouldn't have thought there would be that much in it. I changed a dumper from 385's to 600's but was able to keep the diameter the same.Wider wheels have a bigger diameter so the axles need to be further apart.
Yes they extend the bogie forward. Mine is on 400s but there isn't room for 500s.Ah, so they must extend the bogie and have to move it forward. You wouldn't have thought there would be that much in it. I changed a dumper from 385's to 600's but was able to keep the diameter the same.
Thanks for the replies. I take it you are happy with the Herron? Seen one and is well finished alright. Wondering in time will the sand/shot blasting make a big improvement on the paintwork compared to others! The 500/15 x 17 (14ply) on the Kane are rated a good bit higher for loading than the 400/60 x 15.5 (16ply) (3800kg i think) on the Herron (3020kg). decisions decisions!!Yes they extend the bogie forward.

Haven't done that much with it, only 3 loads of bales so far. The floor height could be a bit lower but apart from that I can't fault it. It's surprisingly easy to tow, even with 65hp in front of it and the brakes are more than capable. There'll be more steel in the Herron and I'd say the finish is better but the price tag is higher. I wouldn't worry about overloading the 400 tyres. 3000kg per tyre plus 3000kg on the hitch would give a total of 15000kg. I doubt you would get that sort of weight in a 14ft trailer.Thanks for the replies. I take it you are happy with the Herron? Seen one and is well finished alright.

Looking at upgrading grain trailers for 2020 harvest. Planning on 14 ton on floatation, Keen to stay withing the legal trailer weight limit. They are only for grain and will be driven by students so a good budget trailer is what I'm thinking. What are the options? Proforge from Agrilinc look appealling.
They have found us, and so it begins.Just wanted to ask do you need any funding to purchase the trailers ? more than happy to assist in funding a funding solution for you, Regards, Angela
What spec have you gone for?Just ordered a new one for under £19k.
This was quite interesting in my opinion.
