basically, all that hassle over the fact that kuhn didnt make the rear shaft as heavy as the front?think its a newer design gearbox on the kuhn the older 1 might have been in line . the kuhn was recommended as 1 of the toughest on the market , is rabe not out the game now ? the only 1 we saw advertised to go on the front was a lightweight amazon , we had no idea we were going to run into these problems , it makes sense that you might want to put a ph on the front you would think they would make the the gearboxes so you could do it after all theres shft coming out the back

tines now i guess, and a frame, it looks good n strong so far neway.Aiming for a cultivator to mount on the front or rear with this...packer has seen better days, as I have already patched a hole on it...was bought s/h after the Kuhn wore out it's crumbler...if it wants to play games I'll make a crumbler for it.
is that the off balenced trailer??yesterday i was at this, moving the axles and drilling awkward holes.
and cutting out fairly important looking bits:whistling:
and found a great job for the horses, they were well worth makin, ive found quite a few jobs for them so far, very handy.
yep.is that the off balenced trailer??
spring and solid axle all the way imo, never liked the torsion axle for some reason.just picking your brain, got a trailer coming up myself soon, are you a fan of the rubber torsion beam axles or traditional spring and solid axle?
did you weigh the drawbar for nose weight??yep.
waiting on the xtra axle at the mo, its sitting in the uk somewhere.
hope it solves the problem, i think it will go a long way towards it neway.
didnt realise it was as heavy til i took it for a spin the other day, at a guess it weighs 2.5+ tonne.
an extra axle will help it immensely.
i didnt weigh it, i just went off rule of thumb and experience, as well as the fact the jack was easily wound up.did you weigh the drawbar for nose weight??
wouldnt help much:001_unsure:i didnt weigh it, i just went off rule of thumb and experience, as well as the fact the jack was easily wound up.
not very technical mind...
there is two items in the trailer that is about 800kgs a piece along with two more units that would weigh 3-400kg's im guessing.
its biggest problem is/was (hopefully) that one of the units is up the front and one is at the back, id say that alone was giving it the power to sway.
the 3rd axle should steady it up.
from center i have the middle axle about 225mm behind that and each axle spaced at 735mm centre to centre.
what wouldnt help much?wouldnt help much:001_unsure:
did you get an average height for the towing vehcils
the weight being like thatwhat wouldnt help much?
no avg height, thats an awkward one.
she sits level enuf to be fair, its just the weight that left her that bit front heavy.
i couldnt have the middle axle in the centre, i dont think she would sit right, or pull right for that matter.
the height of the hitch cant be altered, well not without going mad and im not prepared to do that, there isnt much room up front to be at it neway.
i know what you mean.the weight being like that
supprising how much the height could affect it
no, everything is bolted down with fixtures round it, and there to stay, no room either to change things as there is a door at the back.could the trailer be loaded a different way??
