Have you still got the Kane? If so how does the floor height compare to the Woods? I'm told 500s add at least 3 inches compared to 400sThe 400x16 will be the best for you, we use our woods with them tyres on it as a dump trailer, been here 10 years and not much tyre bother

Yes still have the Kane. Yea it’s rather high compared to the woods as it’s on 500s. Might have a picture that shows the differenceHave you still got the Kane? If so how does the floor height compare to the Woods? I'm told 500s add at least 3 inches compared to 400s
They are night and day worse when the going gets tender.They are, but I think there won't be much difference in the field because they are a bit taller and wider, but the biggest plus would be the longevity.
You can get 500/50r17 radial but they won't be cheap!

My trailer on 400 x 15 's comes out when the 435 x 19.5 stop travelling.
The 435 x 19.5 are a stiff, high pressure and square edged road tyre that cuts straight through the surface and sinks when off road. Fantastic on road though!
It's a 9 ton trailer! Four 560/45r22.5s would be a bit over the top.They aren't that bad. If flotation is the primary concern then 560 22.5 are what's needed.
Fair enough, i understand.Want a low floor height for loading small bales of hay by hand and also because our digger doesn't lift that high without spilling everything out of the bucket.
We aren't on dry land but we stay off it when it's wet and are used to a 6ton single axle on 12.5x15.3s so 400s should be an improvement. I'll check with the manufacturer about what tyres they're fitting but I'm sure they'll be up to it as they're not known for cutting corners.
Another manufacturer offers 8 stud axles with 500/50r17s and it adds £1000 to the price.
You have to stop adding options at some point. For all the trailer is likely to do I think we'll be alright on 6 stud axles and 400s.That will look like a bargain in the long run.
You need offset bogies so the front carry less weight and climb out of the soil, wootton used to do them all like that.The xmas tree Farm we haul field pallets for has 4 trailers with tyres the same as you are getting, 2 have springs 2 boggies, same manufacturer, the sprung ones drag through the mire better as the boggies front wheels lock up dragging brash , the sprung one never.
Interesting comparison and the opposite of what most people say about bogies being better on soft groundThe xmas tree Farm we haul field pallets for has 4 trailers with tyres the same as you are getting, 2 have springs 2 boggies, same manufacturer, the sprung ones drag through the mire better as the boggies front wheels lock up dragging brash , the sprung one never.
Depends on the bogie... see aboveInteresting comparison and the opposite of what most people say about bogies being better on soft ground
