[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 5971428, member: 166"] A local contractor was picking layer litter up with silage sides on his 12t grain trailer. There was a lot more than 12 tonnes in it! As above, the water content will determine the density. I think you ought to find this out before buying a trailer unless you assume low density and buy the biggest capacity you can then not overload it. A quick online search suggests anything from 330 - 500 kg/m3 so for a 15t load you'd need a trailer with 30-45m3 capacity. I hope you've got access to a good spreader with fast spinning discs to get it 18m. IMO you'd struggle with vertical beaters even with extensions. Of course you'll be sheeting down the heaps! :whistle: [/QUOTE]
