They looked good and clean anyway. Wouldn’t want some of that mixed in the maize clamp

No definitely not! They are some lump of a trailer they must be carrying a fair bit extra over a normal 20ft silage trailer?

I was carrying approx 17ton on the 20ft field master. From what I heard they were approx 21ton

They carry 21t of the dry product that they deliver. The biggest load that an artic has delivered is around 14t. I saw them delivering dried wheat once and it was carrying near 40t.

They certainly don’t hang about on the road for the loads they are pulling, steady drivers but they do move! I’m guessing the Deere’s have been to the chip shop?

I don’t really know that. You would imagine a 250r be enough. When they drawing the sludge I think it’s around 27-28ton from what I remember.

One of them lads was boasting to me one day about carrying 35. If anything went wrong with that kind of load on I hope they've practised enough picking up a bar of soap without bending over.
A well specced artic would do well to be legal with 30 or slightly over and that's with ABS, EBS and whatever other giggerymagoo.
 
I put 34 tonnes of wheat on for Marty one day and he burst an airbag when he was tipping . A day and a half later he told me not to put as much on . They seem to do about 63km/hour on the road . By law they have to tip in the field they are spreading in so HGV,s cannot be used .

Yea Marty was drawing with us. He apartently wants to keep his 215r with gears instead of driving the 250r varios. Some man to go 😂

I thought he would only have bursted a half shaft.

The time I drove there I was always told when about to tip you get out and first thing we do was drop the air out of the bags and then go open tail board. Must have given up on that practice 😂

He has some yarns about when he was watering the racecourses. I would buy him whatever tractor he wanted . A man like him is priceless.

Always best to do that on uneven ground I was always told, the tipped trailer won't rock about though Muldoons have different ideas about air dump valves, when I collected the new blower I asked about it and their thinking is that it stresses the chassis if the air is dumped as each axle wouldn't be even whereas if the air is in the bags it will even out. The Schmitz trailers that Morrisseys and others use automatically dump the air when they start to tip.
 
The lads just finished up here now. We have been growing maize since 93 here and we have never seen a crop like it this before. Serious tonnage and I expect quality to be the same. No marks in fields and little to no muck on road. Going to feed calfs now then will give it a roll with our own loader for a hr with a bale silage on the grab.

Was it very ripe? It looks quite gone off
