Bailey vs broughan

[Onemanband]

Looking into 27ft bale trailer , mini super singles , air brakes lsv, sprung drawbar led lights etc. Both very similar money . What's everyone's thoughts ?

Broughan are ahead of the rest on all around quality.

Why not go full super singles and commercial brakes?

Guessing because it will bring the height of the trailer up and the little ones are wider

Bailey look better, hold money better, ride lovely, great website with all options and prices listed. Broughan look like a children’s drawing

Have a Broughan and a Stewart. Both good strong trailers but the Stewart is better finished. Both use a proper two stage paint system which is important if it's going to stand outside a long time. No sure about Bailey paint, I think it's better now than it was a few years back.

If you go for the Broughan make sure you tell them to put the side rave with the flat side facing out so you can hook ratchet straps onto the C channel not the rope hooks. a big NO NO with VOSA

Not looked at broughan but we've a 27ft6 Herron and it's a far better traithan a bailey that our neighbour's have

We have just bought a bailey bale trailer purely on price, couldn't justify £2-3k extra for brougham/herron when it won't be getting a huge amount of use

I think I would buy uk built if the price was similar but I appreciate it’s not always possible.

Any pics of the side rave ? I was going to ask my dealer about it . Dont want rope hooks at all

 

[Mark C]

This is the side rave of one facing out. It’s channel. Mine is the other way round so the flat Face is on the outside .

Yes I understand now , makes sense. Any extra cost or just an either or option in the build sheet? Looks pretty heavy duty

 

[Mark C]

I think it’s either or, I looked at a friend‘s one and it was flat face out which I assumed was standard but you need to specify it at order

Holes to put the strap hooks in are best then they don't fall of when you go round the other side.......
