Nope I was just assuming that since he was putting it on back of tractor the combined was going to be over 3.5tDo you know how big his ewes are?
A ifor Tri is over 1200kg think my certificate of conformity for mine said 1265 so 2300kg load is 50 at 46kg
Is that 1265 kg with it without decks?
2300kg load plus weight of 1265kg is 3565 kg so over 3500 kg

I know but I was working on straight figures so went for 1200. Mine is 14ft Tri axle wheels on outside sheep decks gates and cattle door with fold up wind deflector so assume that the weight of mine with everything in. I ordered a twin would of saved 110kg but they made a mistake so when it came I decided to take it rather than wait another 12weeks.

He’ll be fine with his 50 Shetlands then, although they might be so loose it’ll be a rattlin’ .

Why is he loading Shetlands in a trailer I thought they moved their selves round farm true easycares
I am led to believe it's the weight of the trailer on the plate decks deflector are extra so your load allowance may be 2100 kg. The only way to find out is if you get pulled by vosa with a full load on. I have been pulled twice ok tho as was aware of weight being carried and trailer weight with decks

Not difficult to get 4 & 1/2 ton up with sheared ewes in a 12' wheels outside ifor. No more legal behind a tractor than a truck so I can't see any point in a 14' personally.

Just about to take delivery of my third one
. The current one has a resin coated floor which has been very good. Used for sows rather than cows.
A dealer in Norfolk will have the trade in looking for a good home.
Perhaps I will be corrected but the unladen weight of the trailer is 1500 kg decks/gates perhaps 180 so leaves you a load allowance of 1820 kg so you can legally put 40 46kg lambs in fact lessonly weights on the plate are these

I think they're axle weights
3500 is max grossonly weights on the plate are these
1,2 and 3 are axle weights
Yes I stand to be corrected trailer seems 1265 kg unladen for the model as suggested
