Product description
The flagship model in the bale trailer range
The suspended tridem offers a loading area up to 11 m long and a payload of 18.500 kg. The load racks have an adjustable angle, the platform is prepared for stakes, and the chassis can be fitted with hydraulic load restraint as an option.
Adjustable load racks – for round and square bales
This is the feature that sets this model apart from all the others in the range.
Why the angle matters:
- Square bales stand upright and need an upright rack to support them across their full surface.
- Round bales roll. A rack angled slightly inwards holds them in position more effectively, rather than allowing them to press against it and move upwards when braking.
With adjustable racks, one trailer can handle both bale shapes optimally – without compromising on either.
18.500 kg – what that means in bales
| Bale type | Weight per bale | Number up to payload limit |
|---|---|---|
| Square straw bales | approx. 300 kg | around 60 |
| Square hay bales | approx. 400 kg | around 46 |
| Round silage bales | 600 – 900 kg | 20 to 30 |
This trailer comes into its own with heavy silage bales. With 18.5 tonnes, it can handle loads that smaller models would already be at their payload limit with.
Chassis with variable cross-section
The frame combines open and closed profiles.
Why this makes sense from a design perspective: Closed profiles resist torsion, while open profiles are easier to manufacture and work on at mounting points. The combination provides rigidity where forces act and saves weight where they do not.
Three uses in one trailer
| Configuration | Application |
|---|---|
| Standard, with load racks | Round and square bales |
| With stakes | Timber transport |
| With hydraulic load restraint | Continuous bale transport |
Stakes for timber transport
The loading platform is designed to accommodate stakes. Three options are available:
- Front and rear stakes, four each, instead of the load racks
- Additional side stakes, eight each, instead of the load racks
- Side stakes in addition to the standard load racks
The stakes are 1.200 mm high, with 2.324 mm between them, and are fitted with hooks for attaching lashing straps.
What this means financially: One trailer handles bales in summer and timber in winter – instead of having two vehicles, each standing idle for half the year.
Hydraulic load restraint as an option
The load is held down hydraulically instead of being strapped down by hand. When making several trips a day, this saves a considerable amount of time – and the restraint is consistent, regardless of who is driving.
What it costs – beyond the price:
- The loading area remains 9.900 mm.
- No platform extension is possible.
- Stakes cannot be fitted – timber transport is not possible.
- The angle of the load racks can no longer be adjusted.
- The unladen weight increases to 6.950 kg, and the payload falls to 17.050 kg.
So the decision has to be made early: hydraulic load restraint or flexibility with the racks and stakes – you cannot have both.
Platform extension – also hydraulically operated
The length increases from 9.900 to 11.000 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 the more practical solution if the trailer regularly travels between fields and roads.
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. Unsuspended axles transmit every impact to the frame.
- Allows speeds of 40 km/h. This makes a difference on longer transport routes.
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 24.000 kg – unlike many other PRONAR models, the approval route does not result in any loss of payload here.
Additional equipment

- Spare wheel
Applications
Agriculture and forage production, agricultural contractors, straw trading and bale logistics, forestry and timber transport, biogas plants, equestrian businesses, landscaping and grounds maintenance.
Operating notes
- Confirm the approval route before ordering.
- Do not use the platform extension on public roads.
- Mudguards are required for 40 km/h approval.
- Hydraulic load restraint, stakes and platform extension are mutually exclusive.
- Adjust the angle of the load racks to suit the bale shape.
- Always secure the load – even when it is tightly packed between the load racks.
- When transporting timber, observe the requirements for securing roundwood; the stakes alone do not secure the load.
- Observe height restrictions: the trailer is 2.900 mm high.
- With an overall length of 12 m, check access routes and turning space in advance.
- Retighten the wheel nuts after the first few hours of operation and regularly thereafter.
Frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of adjustable load racks?
Square bales need an upright rack, while round bales need one angled slightly so they do not move upwards. The adjustable angle allows one trailer to handle both bale shapes optimally.
How much can the trailer carry?
18.500 kg with a permissible gross weight of 24.000 kg – even with EU type approval, the gross weight remains 24.000 kg. With hydraulic load restraint, the payload falls to 17.050 kg.
How long is the loading area?
9.900 mm, or 11.000 mm with the standard platform extension. The extension is not approved for use on public roads.
Can I use the trailer for timber?
Yes. The loading platform is prepared for fitting stakes. Three versions are available, with stakes 1.200 mm high, 2.324 mm apart and fitted with hooks for attaching lashing straps.
Can I combine stakes with hydraulic load restraint?
No. Hydraulic load restraint does not allow stakes to be fitted; nor can the platform extension be used or the angle of the load racks adjusted.
How many bales will it hold?
It depends on the type of bale: around 60 square straw bales, about 46 square hay bales or 20 to 30 round silage bales.
What tractor do I need?
128,8 PS or 91,8 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 versions are optional equipment.
