interesting, i was told the articulated ones are far heavier built and much more reliable, was just curious as on the lookout for a 2nd hand forklift and want something durable

Would any1 be so kind as to run a tape across a 320 and tell me what width it is and would there be any way to make them narrower with setting wheels in
It should be .But putting on its nose .Your bucket must be to big or your well over loading it .Have the same with a 1.7 cu and never hardly fails to lift or set off warnings

There's no excuse for the lowloader or silage trailer, if they were built wrong they should be put right.
I'd say trailer brakes wearing is a good thing. If they don't their not doing there job. From experience Kane fit smaller brakes and half the number of brake rams unless you spec them up. I'd rather replace trailer brakes than tractor brakes.

The brakes work perfectly well on a kane, the shoes are just better qualityand its not since the center chassis design that only has 2 brake rams

If you say so, I've always found them inadequate. I'm sure they're still fitting 2 brake rams on some of their tandem axle trailers, unless they've changed recently, they're small rams too.

Its only half pipes wev bought for a good while now so i cant comment on smaller silage trailers
This is the full photo ?
I'll measure our 310 later . The wheels have a different offset to the rigid so they're set wider. We were gonna swap ours between machines at one point till I measured the rims but I can't remember how much difference there is

Different wheels may give different measurements too.
A 310/20 pivot are generally on the same wheels and tyres as a 536.60/70 machine but with a different offset a 420 was on bigger rims and tyres

Is it possible to put different offset rims on it to reduce width or woukd the not work at full lock and be hitting off stuff
Yeah you could put them on. It would reduce the width but not by much tho they would hit anything but might be tight behind them on the rear chassis

I've not felt genuine instability in a side boom machine in years and I've spent good hours in the seat of various makes and models. Are you running a bucket outside the recommended size or something?
The engine is also going to be tight until it's run in nicely.
You'll never sit in a Kramer and complain the engine, hydraulics or transmission are not potent enough. They jump to it like a Paratrooper in a parade.

Is that for your 6 furrow plough to go on?
A tm 310 will run rings round a 538.60 stacking muck so it should feel a lot different from a 420I've not felt genuine instability in a side boom machine in years and I've spent good hours in the seat of various makes and models. Are you running a bucket outside the recommended size or something?
