Product description

Two-axle bale trailer with reinforced platform

This suspended two-axle trailer offers a loading area up to 7,4 m long and 2,5 m wide, with a payload of 5.300 kg. Foldable front and rear load racks, a 4 mm-thick steel floor and lashing strap holes on the platform and load racks are included as standard.

Overrun brake: for tractors without a brake connection

This is the difference compared with the standard version with a 2-line compressed-air brake.

The overrun brake operates purely mechanically – it is activated when the trailer runs into the towing vehicle. This means the trailer is also suitable for vehicles without compressed-air or hydraulic braking systems: older tractors, pick-ups and Unimogs, and municipal vehicles.

The practical advantage: Hitch up and drive off without having to connect brake lines. This is a more flexible solution for businesses with a mixed fleet.

2.517 mm-wide platform with raised profile edges

The M version is 67 mm wider than the standard version and has raised profile edges along the sides.

Why width matters for bales: 1,20 m-wide square bales can be placed side by side – on a narrow platform they will not fit without being forced together, and will sit on their edges. The raised profile edges keep the bottom layer in position at the sides, preventing it from shifting over the edge when braking or cornering.

4 mm steel floor

The reinforced floor is 1 mm thicker than on the standard version.

What this means in everyday use: A bale trailer is rarely loaded with bales alone. In practice, it may also carry pallets, equipment, building materials and, occasionally, a front loader bucket. The thicker floor can withstand concentrated loads – pallet feet, fork tines and machinery set down on it.

Platform extension included as standard

The length increases from 6.495 to 7.395 mm – almost a metre longer.

Important: The platform extension is not permitted for use on public roads. It is intended for use in fields and on business premises, where every additional bale per load counts.

Foldable load racks with rounded edges

• Front and rear – the load is secured in the direction of travel and at the rear.
• Rounded – bales are easier to slide on and are less likely to be torn by sharp edges during loading.
• Foldable – for transporting bulky items, loading from the side and compact storage.

As optional equipment fixed load racks are available, as is a version without load racks or a platform extension.

Lashing strap holes on the platform and load racks

Securing a load of bales is no mere formality: round bales roll, square bales slip, and in an emergency stop either can hit the cab. Lashing points are located along the platform edges and on the load racks – allowing even the upper layers to be strapped down.

Optional: two front-mounted lashing strap reels are available to make strapping and unstrapping considerably quicker.

Parabolic suspension and 40 km/h

Parabolic suspension is what distinguishes a field trailer from a transport trailer.

• Protects the load. Silage bales wrapped in film are sensitive to impacts – any damaged film means spoiled feed.
• Protects the trailer. Unsuspended axles transmit every jolt to the frame.
• Allows speeds of 40 km/h. This makes a difference on longer journeys between fields and farm premises.

For 40 km/h approval in Germany, plastic mudguards are required in front of and behind the rear axle – they are available as optional equipment. In Austria, the extended version with mudguards behind the front axle is also required.

Tyres

Diagonal tyres 400/60-15,5 are fitted as standard. The manufacturer notes: Diagonal tyres should only be used for typical agricultural applications. If you drive mainly on tarmac roads, you should choose radial tyres – these are available as an alternative.

Operating notes

• Check the approval route before ordering – the stated parameters apply to individual approval in Germany.
• Do not use the platform extension on public roads.
• Mudguards are required for 40 km/h approval.
• Always strap down the load – even over short distances and even when it is secured by its shape.
• With round bales, ensure they are secured against rolling; the load racks do not replace lashing straps.
• Observe the permitted height: with load racks, the trailer is 2.899 mm high.
• Check the overrun brake and breakaway device regularly.
• Retighten the wheel nuts after the first few hours of operation and regularly thereafter.
• Choose tyres to suit the application: diagonal tyres for field use, radial tyres for predominantly road use.

Frequently asked questions

What distinguishes the M version from the standard model?

The wider platform, at 2.517 instead of 2.450 mm, the raised side profile edges and the reinforced 4 mm steel floor instead of 3 mm. Its permissible gross weight is 8.000 rather than 10.000 kg.

Why choose an overrun brake?

It operates purely mechanically and does not require a brake connection on the towing vehicle. This makes the trailer suitable for tractors without compressed-air systems, as well as pick-ups, Unimogs and municipal vehicles.

How long is the loading area?

6.495 mm, or 7.395 mm with the platform extension included as standard. However, the extension is not approved for use on public roads.

How much can the trailer carry?

5.300 kg with a permissible gross weight of 8.000 kg – with individual approval in Germany.

What tractor do I need?

Required power is 67,6 PS or 49,7 kW.

What is required for 40 km/h approval?

In Germany, plastic mudguards are required in front of and behind the rear axle; in Austria, an additional mudguard behind the front axle is required. Both options are available as additional equipment.

Are the load racks foldable?

Yes, at the front and rear, and they have rounded edges. Fixed load racks are available as optional equipment, as is a version without load racks.

Which tyres should I choose?

Diagonal tyres are fitted as standard. The manufacturer recommends them for typical agricultural applications; if you drive mainly on tarmac, you should choose radial tyres.
