Radials ?
Flotation trailer tyres
- Thread starter solo
- Start date
For its 21st birthday, I replaced the super singles with 560/45 r22.5 flotations on my M16 Fraser dung trailer.
It's like a new trailer, far easier for 120hp to pull uphill through winters mud.
They are (ahem!) Ling longs. We'll just need to wait and see how long they last!

Them farm super singles are a total waste of money. They last no time
Aye, and as you can see from the picture, doing it freehand didn't give very good results
After the second attempt, the front arch now matches the rear radius

Just for interest I added these floats to this old converted lorry body this summer pre harvest. Made the trailer 100x better up the road and ruts just dissapeared. Had to move the front axle forward a bit because they're not the same rr as a super single but that actually balanced the drawbar weight out a bit.
After putting the sprung drawbar on it last year which I got out of cheffins, Brilliant grain trailer now.
Accidentally had 18.5tonnes of beans on it once. View attachment 927008

Looking at floatations for bale trailer. Would more soil stick to the hockey stick type tred tyres or would the more open tred tyres like the ceat ones mentioned on here be better?

Hi what size are you after .
the hockey stick ones tend to hold more muck in them and they are crossply tyres and a lot of people tend to go for radials now ?

Ceat flotations I bought off Terry Elsey Tyres carry a lot less mud out of the field than the 445/65/22.5 commercial tyres I was previously using if that helps. It certainly hasn’t got any drier since fitting them, but I have managed two frosty mornings so far.
