Well assuming it's 4ft bales you'll need at least a 16ft trailer and I'd go with a tandem purely for the suspension benefits. My single axle 21ft trailer is very bouncy not ideal for light bales....Am looking into getting a bale trailer, what is the ideal length for both 4 bales along the bottom and 5 bales along the bottom, am I right to be wanting a tandem axle or are single axle still very stable on the road. Is there much difference turning
Thanks
Does the 21ft take 5 bales ?Well assuming it's 4ft bales you'll need at least a 16ft trailer and I'd go with a tandem purely for the suspension benefits. My single axle 21ft trailer is very bouncy not ideal for light bales....
Yup we just do 5 on the bottom and 4 on top as we're not going far.
21ft is a good size for mobility unless your really tight for space.
Just see what is available secondhand I wouldn't buy new at the moment....
New is out of the question, as an aside I rang about a new one yesterday and they wouldn't even quote, said they wouldn't be making any until September because there is so many tankers needed for a grant. I replied and who will want a bale trailer in September, he said oh, I hadn't thought of that
Your not suppose to put your reply in the quote box . I don't know what I'm doing either Hopefully the above works .Ridger
????? Don`t get the joke..get one with the wheels underneath , a lot seem to have the wheels on the side
Couped trailers I think.????? Don`t get the joke..
They tip over on the road I was jesting about????? Don`t get the joke..
All bales are fusion bales and draws between 8km and 15km so I think tandem axle is a must for road
Twin axle every time and I prefer springs to bogey axles - in fields or on roads. Smoother ride and you've a better chance to save a rim when you get a puncture.
This(Mchale 5500 bales)I've used a 28ft. 6 along the floor. Might have a foot or 2 to spare if bales are all touching and good shape. Wet wrapped bales that have widened a bit are a tight squeeze. Trailer has vertical racks. So I'd suggest 24ft for 5 bales
