Both excellent trailers. They are the trailers that the biggest silage contractors use
Id personally go for the rear axil passive steering not front and rear forced steering
Its a lot simpler and allows the trailer to enter a smaller gap but does increase the tail swing.

Both great trailers , I have a Smyth 24 ft on 3 axles here that I bought secondhand , it's 10 yr old but still perfect , has rear steering which is vital

Don't know where you are, I take it weight isn't an issue?
An extra axle would add quite a bit to the tare weight.

in Waterford.weight not an issue.just want to carry lots and lots of grass .also I cut grain so want to carry 27 to 30 tonne of grain at harvest time.i like the Broughan but think that the supercube might be better as I'm carrying another axle I want to take as much as I can. only rear steer don't want positive steer cos you need ball and spoon and small k50 ball etc.was wondering has anyone got one and love to see how they go with it.

Sorry they would be a lot narrower inside them so would not hold enough.

Beautiful trailer Sputnik.some wheels.are the 26.5s
Have a 24ft tri Smyth here silage and grain trailer here for a number of years. A horrible bitch on the road at 50k with a 22t load tends to sway from side to side.
Did have to weld and support the chassis where the trailer hinges at the back due to cracks.
Also had to replace the two front axils leaf springs as they don't seem up to the job.
If you are buying one try find the series which had the heavy tipping 32t Rams you will know by the half length first stage of the ram.
Based in cork too great trailer to move material but you can't put any old driver up on her can be a bit of a handful at times.

That must be tough to get into a tight gate ?

No problems but then I am located In Denmark. Steering on third axle helps a lot.

If you want that volume and don’t care about tare weight why not get a HGV bulker and a dolly? Put some wide tyres on it. More manoeuvrable than any drawbar trailer and a lot cheaper.

I was thinking the same. Or go all out and by the truck to go in front as well.

Same weight as any other trailer with that weight.no hassle to pull it.i have a lot grass maize and grain to move and need to move more with less tractors and less men.
