Do those weight limits include the weight of the trailer as well as the load it’s carrying?

Yes

 

[Vry]

Does a bogey not count as one axle or am I wrong . I seem to have that idea in my head.

 

[c4l]

I’d agree but there’s 2 different approaches to it, there’s the lads that fill it like a grain trailer still, maybe a little extra in the middle, and then the lads that have bags tied to the front mesh and load it up to the point the drawbar spring is just flat al the time. You’d hear the creaks and bangs from the bogies at every turn with them

Don't I know about it. And when turning you see in the mirrors one axle going one direction and the other going the opposite. 1 of the trailers at the start of the year cracked the box section on the chassis just behind where the body hinges off the chassis. It cracked and went sideways and strained the other side. Trailer is all sorted now but it's all the constant loading and unloading that wear's them out

There was a 20ft with solid 8ft sides around a few years ago, it was originally bought for sawdust but others had it when I saw it, thankfully I never had to pull it but I think one of the lads said it was 24ton of wheat.

When the 22ft were allowed down at the port, they were able to take 28/29t of maize

I think I'll remember this thread of I am ever buying another trailer, a prime example why not to buy a silage trailer.

As I remember it a bogey doesn't count as "flexible suspension" in that chart therefore limited to 8 tonnes per axle

Only take silage sides off for beet. Boxed in up to full height. Only ever filled to top of silage sides in oats.

Someone would really really want a Lee tandem axle

It’s all depends on the combine auger height doesn’t it?

Watching Olly Harrison and he was saying he leaves his silage sides on all year round now,helped by the fact his combine can fill over them,not a bad idea having higher sides than you need because the gestapo are pulling you if you fill over the sides nowadays.👎

We strip down one silage trailer fro harvest and leave the others full height. You can put on a nice legal load especially in oats and not worry about any spilling .

Some lads really get carried away with the zeros on a price tag. €10k would put a nice deposit on a decent steel trailer not needing any work.

Maybe I should add a few more thousands to the price of my 14ft single axle and the cost to change to a fresher trailer would be getting small!!

Not gonna lie, didn't know about that one. I know of another, saw it a week a half ago behind a tm155 drawing grain

Why are the lee trailers so popular?

They were some curse of thing to draw grain with, leaking out from all four corners.

I’d say they’re only popular now for vintage events. Back in the day, they were seen as the Rolls Royce of trailers around here.
They didn’t seem to move with the times when steel trailers became popular. I do know of one steel tandem Lee trailer in this area.

God only knows . I never thought them to.be anything special.

There were the smyth/broughan equivalent of the 70s/80s. Paddy Lee must have sold thousands of timber sided trailers.

That size Lee would have be fairly uncommon majority were single axle. Asking price isn't a reflection of what it is worth.
