New grain trailer. What is your choice

[Bossfarmer]

Thanks for pointing out the mistake should read root crops

are these root crop trailers any different from grain trailers?

Which trailers are the lightest? Find the Bailey 14t root crops we have rather over engineered which means we are towing 6.5t of dead weight around.

It’s a very fine line between over engineered and not standing up to the job
a lot of Ag stuff is over engineered to allow for those who push stuff to its limits and beyond

Fudge it, buy a Krampe bandit on a ball and spoon and let the neighbours get pished off.

You would think that with today’s cad that could make them as strong but lighter, may be alloy would be worth it like the grain bulkers.

I think that todays trailers are designed far better than their predecessors, tow far better, stop better, and are genuinely stronger and lighter. You wouldn’t have 16t trailers in the 90’s as nothing would pull them! Don’t get your fascination with a light trailer, you’d be to first one with his toys all over the carpet on phone to dealer if your new trailer broke in half fully loaded as the wheel attendant was flying down road at 50km/h...

Bailey here , some faults but generally pleased with what we have from them . Cost effective comparably to any.

Surprised no one has mentioned AW Trailers. Have a look at the Ultima range

Very happy with the 16t Larrington I’ve got. Brought though Writtle farm machinery.

Is Brian King still with WFM? I bought my first ever tractor from him in 1988. He was with Cowies Eastern Tractors then.

I'm not a fan of the 16t Ultima I've got but the older 10t has been a good trailer.

 

[Serup]

Agreed but who actually gets finance on a grain trailer or two??? £100k tractor yes but a grain trailer?!

As long as i lend money from a bank, i will get finance on everything that makes sense. I pay 5% on everything i spend from the bank, and can get finance for less than half.
I always use the cheapest money i can get.

Root trailer has lower sides and a longer body generally. Lower sides needed to get the elevator into the bottom of the trailer.
We also have a rubber mat in the front third of the trailer. Just an extra precaution to be delicate with potatoes.

I had 3 monocoque AWs in Dorset. Excellent trailers. The Ultimas are even better built.

2 x 18t Stewart & 3 x 14t Marstons up here. The Marstons are too softly sprung but ride better as a result. I wouldn't want to be hauling silage with them.
