Grain trailer

[Dinger64]

I am looking for a second hand 14 ton grain trailer. So many makes out there, which one do you go for?

 

[michael N123]

any make will do

Seriously consider a new one

I would say the size of your budget will determine what you can buy. Some 10 year old bailey/ Stewart will be strong money compared to a less popular make. I have a 10 year old 14 ton trailer that I can probably get £1500 less for it now than what I paid for it new. But the new price will probably nearly double.

Still waiting for our 18t bailey, ordered beginning of year, promised for harvest.

Why not an 18t model? Probably the same running gear but you can actually fit 14t of barley in it and 14t of wheat without it spilling all over the road.

Look a volume

some trailer will be too low a volume to get 14 tonnes

my 16 t Bailey with rollover sheet will get 18 tonne wheat or beans less rape or barley

more than half the time a trailer is in use it is empty needing little power
adjustment and size of brake drums is the most important need
some trailer lock up when empty on some tractors
not on new Holland Bailey combination but stops quicker than most cars when fully laden ,I worry about the cars behind when in stop start Trafic on the a1

No one round here takes there silage sides off now makes filling on the move easy for anyone and get the full tonnage in

Will it not coup the trailer if a wheel sinks when you pile it that high?

You don’t fill it to the top

What do they do for door at back is it grain tight or are they hydraulic grain doors you add the bit on top for silage

Hydraulic grain doors on most new trailers round here you’d struggle to make a flappy door grain tight

on my Qm11 I I used to just take flappy door off but the grain door on and fill the middle high
