    Trailer towing speed

    Iv been told many times you can’t travel at 50k with a normal oil braked low loader/livestock box as you need air brakes to travel above 40k, yet I see that nearly everyone does and doesn’t seem to bother the trailer?

    Kuhn or mchale straw chopper chopping silage/hay

    Will one of these machines chop baled silage/hay to a length that sheep won’t pull massive chunks under them? Sheep in our shed with passage down middle are pulling to much silage/hay under them, put it out by hand for years but the waste is beyond.
