20t trailer

[Thomas Simpson]

Looking at getting a larger corn trailer just for cereals. What are peoples experiences with 20t trailers, do you need to go tri axle and what size tractor do you need on them to handle them safely?

This weight would be illegal on the road, I assume this will be off road use only........

Yes

If it's for off road use wouldn't you be better off buying an old lorry?

20t Stewart. No need for tri axle I think. We have a 20t one and it's been faultless

If it is all braked up properly then you only need 150/70 hp unless you have a lot of hills or are in a rush.

Broughan trailers are getting a good name round here. Full commercial axles as standard I believe.

Check out Braughan trailers hard to beat them .

I thought tri axle will be required for trailers of this size when the rules change again? I know you are saying it will be off road only but for resale/occasional road use you are better off checking this and future proofing. We have just had an 18t Richard Western and think we have overlooked this issue but are hoping not!
