And the rest. It’s 2.5x the size of of the 12’ nugent so I’m hoping 100-130 ewes depending on breed and size. I’ve got 400 55-60kg welsh to move Monday so I’ll know then. I can get 44 texelX/Mule ewes in the nugent.
2.5x12 is 30ft is that right, I thought it was 24?? Have I read or not read something right

I’m guessing it’s a bit wider too
Ahh me being a bit dull, sounds about right, didn’t think about the gain on being wider

Twice the length but half as wide again
I didn’t think I have particularly big ewes but I can only get 35 in my 12’ nugent.

With or without wool?
I put up a load of 50 ewes the other day sheared end of August. Very little wool. Could do same with shedders.
Then I realised if they averaged close to 70 kg, that's 3.5 ton before the trailer

25x 60kg welsh per section, not full, probably get a few more in…
I sh!t you not by far the nicest trailer I’ve ever towed on the road, no swaying, no rocking and just towed lovely on quite a windy but relatively flat road, cambers all over the place but it was nice and comfortable at 25mph

@Stw88 neighbours is a Bateson, bought from Ricks. He seems to rate it. Be parked at Hex mart most Fridays if you wanted a look

Saw a Graham edwards one at Penrith mart on Wednesday, feller had it since 2010 and it still looked good as new. He really likes it, mainly because of the narrow width so he can get into places easier. His was on tri axels with the same tyres on as a trailer for a pick-up. Only 6 ton max gross weight but the tyres won’t heat up, downside they will be useless off road due as they’re narrow. On the whole it looked spot on and I think there will be one getting ordered but with tandem ag tyres on. Will try and get some better quality tyres fitted.

Is your trailer fitted with the smaller wheels (triaxle) or the larger wheels?Mine has eaten maybe 4 sets of tyres in the time I have had it. Never, ever go anywhere without a spare. I priced a new Stewart at the time which was 50% more to buy. Stewart agent said regardless of what I buy, make sure its galvanised and has decent tyres. I didn't listen about the tyres
