Product description
Reinforced two-axle bale transport trailer
The sprung tandem offers a loading area up to 7,4 m long and 2,52 m wide, with a payload of 8.980 kg. The reinforced 4-mm floor, raised side profile edges and lashing strap holes are included as standard.
Reinforced means more than just bales
This is what sets it apart from the basic version. Three features make the trailer more versatile:
- 4 mm floor plate instead of 3 mm. The floor can withstand concentrated loads – pallet feet, fork tines and machinery placed on it. A bale trailer is rarely loaded with bales alone.
- Raised side profile edges. They keep the bottom layer in position, rather than letting it move over the edge when braking or cornering.
- Lashing strap holes on the platform and load racks. These also allow the upper layers to be secured with straps.
The platform is also 67 mm wider than on the basic version – 2.517 instead of 2.450 mm.
8.980 kg – what that means in bales
| Bale type | Weight per bale | Number up to payload limit |
|---|---|---|
| Straw square bales | approx. 300 kg | around 29 |
| Hay square bales | approx. 400 kg | around 22 |
| Silage round bales | 600 – 900 kg | 9 to 14 |
For straw, the loading area is the limiting factor; for silage, it is the payload.
Load securing – taken seriously here
Round bales roll, square bales shift, and in an emergency stop either can hit the tractor cab.
There are lashing points in two places:
- On the platform edges – for the lower layers.
- On the load racks – so the upper layers can also be strapped down without having to run the strap over the full height.
Optional: two front lashing strap reels are available, making it much quicker to strap and unstrap the load.
Platform extension – also hydraulic
The length increases from 6.495 to 7.395 mm. The extension is not permitted for use on public roads – it is intended for fields and farm premises.
A hydraulically operated version is available as optional equipment. This is unique among the two-axle models in the range. The extension can be moved in and out from the cab, without anyone getting out – practical when the trailer regularly travels between field and road.
Rounded, foldable load racks
- 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 not torn by sharp edges during loading.
- Foldable – for bulky loads, side loading and space-saving storage.
Alternatives: fixed load racks, fixed straight vertical load racks, or a version without load racks and platform extension.
Parabolic suspension and 40 km/h
- Protects the load. Silage bales wrapped in film are sensitive to impacts – any damaged film means spoiled feed.
- Protects the trailer. Unsprung axles transmit every impact to the frame.
- Allows speeds of 40 km/h. This makes a difference on longer journeys.
For 40 km/h approval in Germany plastic mudguards are required in front of and behind the rear axle; in Austria, additional mudguards are required behind the front axle.
Approval without loss of payload
Even with EU type approval, the permissible gross weight remains 12.000 kg – unlike many other PRONAR models, there is no reduction resulting from the approval route.
About the tyres
Diagonal tyres 500/50-17 are fitted as standard. The manufacturer points out: diagonal tyres should only be used for typical agricultural applications. If you mainly drive on tarmac roads, you should choose radial tyres.
Additional equipment
- DE, AT or EU type approval, including documents
- Two-line compressed-air brake with ALB or ALB Premium
- Hydraulically operated platform extension
- Version without load racks and platform extension
- Fixed load racks or fixed straight vertical load racks
- Trailer couplings from various manufacturers
- Toolbox
- Side underrun protection to 89/297/EEC
- Lashing strap reels, 2 at the front
- Plastic mudguards (required for 40 km/h approval)
- Spare wheel holder with winch, spare wheel
- Warning triangle for slow-moving trailers
Applications
Agriculture and forage production, agricultural contractors, straw trading and bale logistics, equestrian businesses and riding centres, biogas plants, landscaping, local authorities, businesses transporting a mix of bales and general cargo.
Operating notes
- Clarify the approval route before ordering.
- 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 being tightly packed between the load racks.
- When carrying 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 2.880 mm high.
- Retighten the wheel nuts after the first few hours of operation and regularly thereafter.
- Choose tyres to suit the application.
Frequently asked questions
How much can the trailer carry?
8.980 kg with a permissible gross weight of 12.000 kg – even with EU type approval, the limit remains 12.000 kg.
What distinguishes the M version?
The reinforced 4-mm floor instead of 3 mm, raised side profile edges, lashing strap holes on the platform and load racks, and a platform that is 67 mm wider.
What is the 4-mm floor for?
It can withstand concentrated loads – pallet feet, fork tines and machinery placed on it. A bale trailer is rarely loaded with bales alone.
How long is the loading area?
6.495 mm, or 7.395 mm with the standard platform extension. The extension is not approved for use on public roads.
What are the benefits of the hydraulic platform extension?
It can be extended and retracted from the cab, without anyone getting out. This option is unique among the two-axle models in the range.
How many bales will it hold?
It depends on the type of bale: around 29 straw square bales, about 22 hay square bales or 9 to 14 silage round bales.
What tractor do I need?
93,6 PS or 68,8 kW.
What is required for 40 km/h approval?
In Germany, plastic mudguards in front of and behind the rear axle; in Austria, additional mudguards behind the front axle. Both options are available as additional equipment.
