Cheers mike. Tis a home-made jobbie!!
Very well done too in fairness. Whats it like to pull??
Pulls great. The front axle lifts, so its handy in the field or when turning tight on concrete. Brakes are savage on it.
Ah I see. Handy feature as you'd scrub the shit out of the tyres turning.
I'd say that alright, some kick off the air brakes. One tip of the pedal and you'd be nearly out through the windscreen
Exactly. Saves the brakes on the tractor, and comforting to know you can stop when you have to
Yes agree 100%. Dodgy hydraulic brakes would wake ya up fair quick when going downhill with a grain trailer full to the b***x
I know what ya mean. The blue tandem in the first pic there is harder to stop than the tri-axle. I think a lot of the hydraulic rams on some of these trailers are too small to be honest.
A few more pics
Savage trailer lad how much does it hold ?
that would take the cobwebs out of any yoke....Depends, but there was 23 tons of oats on her and I have had
24 ton of barley before. Don't usually load her to the neck, as soon as she is relatively full off of the combine, we head off with it. Ashamed to say it, but had 31 ton of stone on her on a trial run
is there enuf oil in the backend of a tractor to tip it up?, takes a fair shot of oil to put her up full id imagine.

She pulled it suprisingly well. With no load on her, she would not be as lively as say a tm or something similar, but a big load does not deaden her that much.
Once you'd get the rig rolling at all they'd move away no bother to them after.
Must be a good backup of torque in the 8870.
She put out around 1300 NM on the dyno. She's putting out over 240 hp@1600rpm. Think its about 45-48% torque back-up.
She is looking well there mate
Your brother would want to hurry up though or else the co-op will be closed
I think I am right in saying that is the 3rd season for that trailer :confused1:
Looks like you had a better morning down there than up here....
Think its the 3rd year alright Nash. Time flies. Morning was good, but got dull at 12. Rain came at 1. How about yourselves?
Have you much to cut nash?
