FYM weight

[Ninjago]

Roughly, what kind of weight of cattle fym would i get in a 18ft 14 tonne grain trailer?

 

[DrDunc]

Depends upon the height of the trailer and how scittery wet the dung is with this straw storage

Area of floor will be near enough 13.75m². If you're loading level with 1.25m grain sides, that's 17m³ of dung

Fresh straw court dung ought to be about 0.6 tonne per m³, so you'll have about 10 tonnes.

I cart with this old girl

Need to be careful not to fill to the top of the sides, it tips fine and the flotations travel the fields no bother, but my fields are steep, and I've only 120hp on front.

When you're hanging at 1200rpm with no more gears, you say well done to the tractor if it gets up the hill

Depends what you load it with. JCB or similar will pile it in and you will get 14T if you go high enough and probably more!!!

 

[Chae1]

Get just over 12.5t in our 18t Smyth. 10t in 16t 21m3 Stewart. Piling it up a fair height.

Got a rds weighlog on new manitou. I thought there would have been more weight in trailer than that.

That's fresh dung out of court.

Thanks for the replies.

I swap some straw for muck with a neighbour , he luggs the muck to us with a 14 ton trailer and gets about 10 tons a load , I know this as I have weigh cells on my spreader

14t Bailey well loaded 11t over the bridge , I will add I have totaled up loads tipped and spreading contractor with weigher on loader usually makes it 2 thirds of fresh weight once rotted and turned

We cart muck away from a local dairy farm and have had up to 14t in a 12 as trailer, that is weighbridge checked.
Sometimes we've struggled to tip.
Depends on the muck and how you load the trailer, we Sometimes move it a fair distance do want a good load on.

had similar depends on muck, ive a 14 tonner and got a load that would barely tip! (carted from nearby farm)

was stuff thats been piled a year a wet dint really look a big load!

 

[mo!]

Our old marshall wouldn't tip with much more than its rated load, in proper muck that was level full! New one will carry more, so 14t in a 14t. Some of you lads must have lots of straw to used silage sides!

The way it's bedded will make a difference, we've mucked out for a neighbour that blows it in with heavy cattle and the weight difference is very noticeable, well heavy

16t Kane trailer with 5ft sides regularly struggled to tip loads that were 20t on weigh bridge

Cant comment on rest but oats would be a pretty poor sample quoted

 

[Muddyroads]

I had exactly 12 tonnes of composted green waste in this 14 tonne trailer on Friday a bit under level full on the sides. Wet dung would be heavier I would think.

Is dung ever consistent enough to bother weighing? Carting with a 14ton grain trailer here ,had some loads hitting a hill , down to under 10kph and other loads over 18kph. Strawy dung up back wall compared to around a feed ring or trough was the difference

I ruined my old Marshall 8 tonner moving shite tipped it up and the flappy door didn’t open fast enough and it ripped the silage door with its frame off all 3 levels of drop sides

easily 14t of wet muck in one of them heaped a little bit more mind.
I once had very wet over yeared muck in the same trailer but not mine but managed 20t of muck on weighbridge.
Yes i nearly passed out when i found out. Only did it once & i knew it was heavy but yeeesshhh, tip toed home at 10mph.
Trailer still going fine.

Noticed that not much heavier than sawdust......could be right for this year

These Marshall trailers sound cracking
