Bale trailer

[mattydraw]

What are the pros and cons of having a bake trailer on sprung axels instead of bogey

They love to lie down on springs!

 

[mo!]

Springs should be quieter and ride better on the road.

We have just bought a broughan bale trailer on springs, seems good so far

Lovely trailer. Wat length is it? A couple of foot longer might suit the top row better but maybe that length suits yous

 

[Iron150]

25' long enough for us, have been putting 4 bales on top to make it 30, a bit of weigh in it after

How do you find them flotation tyres? Easy or hard to pull?

That's some weight. Trailer must be well built to handle that

Broughan trailers are probably Ireland's best made trailer.

 

[Fergieman]

Springs that are rated for the trailer weight will be as safe and secure as bogies, alot smoother also. The problem is when a manufacturer sticks the cheap 3 leaf springs on a trailer which are no where near strong enough for the weights involved.

 

[The Badger]

One pro is bogies are hardly rated to 40k never mind 50
