Product description
Bale transport trailer with universal drawbar
The sprung tandem offers a loading platform 7,17 m long and 2,52 m wide, with a payload of 8.700 kg. The universal drawbar, hydraulic angled support leg and reinforced 4-mm floor are standard equipment.
Universal drawbar for high and low hitching
This is a feature not found on the other bale trailers in the range.
What this means: The trailer fits tractors with a drawbar coupling at chassis height as well as those with a lower hitch coupling – without modification.
- When using different towing vehicles on the farm, there is no need to change the setup.
- For contract work the trailer can be hitched to whichever tractor is available.
- When reselling there is a wider pool of potential buyers.
A K80 ball coupling is available as optional equipment.
Just 62,5 PS – the lowest requirement in the range
That is a remarkably low figure for a payload of 8,7 tonnes. This means the trailer can be towed by tractors in the 70-PS class – giving the farm a choice of which tractor to use for the load.
For comparison: The three-axle T023M, with a similar payload, requires 90,2 PS, while the T025 requires 93,6 PS.
Hydraulic angled support leg as standard
With a nose weight of 1.925 kg, this is not just a convenience feature: a mechanical support leg would be difficult to operate when loaded.
8.700 kg – what that means in bales
| Bale type | Weight per bale | Number up to payload |
|---|---|---|
| Straw square bales | approx. 300 kg | around 29 |
| Hay square bales | approx. 400 kg | around 21 |
| Silage round bales | 600 – 900 kg | 9 to 14 |
For straw, the platform space is the limiting factor; for silage, it is the payload.
Reinforced 4-mm floor with raised profile edges
- The thicker floor can withstand concentrated loads – pallet feet, fork tines and machinery set down on it. A bale trailer is rarely loaded with bales alone.
- The raised side profile edges keep the bottom layer in position, rather than letting it move over the edge when braking or cornering.
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 on sharp edges during loading.
- Foldable – for bulky loads, side loading and space-saving storage.
Fixed load racks are available as optional equipment.
Lashing strap holes on the platform and load racks
Round bales can roll, square bales can shift, and in either case they can hit the cab during emergency braking. The lashing points are located along the platform edges and also on the load racks – so the upper layers can be secured with straps too.
Optional: two front-mounted lashing strap reels are available.
Parabolic suspension and 40 km/h
- Protects the load. Plastic-wrapped silage bales are sensitive to impacts – any damaged wrap means spoiled feed.
- Protects the trailer. Unsprung axles transmit every bump to the frame.
- Allows speeds of 40 km/h. This makes a difference on longer transport journeys.
For 40-km/h approval in Germany plastic mudguards are required at the front and rear – they are available as optional equipment.
Approval without loss of payload
Even with EU type approval, the permissible gross weight remains 12.000 kg. Please note: In this configuration, the axle load is 10.000 kg and the nose weight is 2.000 kg.
Additional equipment
- DE, AT or EU type approval, including documents
- K80 ball coupling
- Two-line compressed-air braking system with ALB or ALB Premium
- Fixed load racks instead of foldable ones
- Trailer couplings from various manufacturers
- Toolbox
- Side underrun protection in accordance with 89/297/EEC
- Lashing strap reels, 2 front-mounted
- Plastic mudguards at the front and rear (required for 40-km/h approval)
- Spare wheel
- Slow-moving vehicle warning triangle
Applications
Agriculture and forage production, agricultural contractors, straw trading and bale logistics, equestrian businesses and riding centres, biogas plants, landscaping and grounds maintenance, local authorities.
Operating notes
- Clarify the approval route before ordering.
- Check the towing vehicle's nose weight capacity: up to 1.925 kg, or 2.000 kg with EU type approval.
- Mudguards are required for 40-km/h approval.
- According to the homologation documents, the trailer is not suitable for towing a second trailer.
- Always secure the load with straps – even on short journeys and even when it is tightly packed.
- With round bales, ensure they are secured against rolling; the load racks do not replace lashing straps.
- Observe the permitted height: with the load racks fitted, the trailer measures 2.740 mm.
- Retighten the wheel nuts after the first few hours of operation and regularly thereafter.
- Choose tyres to suit the application: for predominantly road use, the manufacturer recommends radial tyres.
Frequently asked questions
What is the universal drawbar?
It is designed for high and low hitching, so the trailer fits tractors with a drawbar coupling at chassis height as well as those with a hitch coupling, without modification.
How much can the trailer carry?
8.700 kg with a permissible gross weight of 12.000 kg – the gross weight remains 12.000 kg even with EU type approval.
How many bales will it hold?
It depends on the type of bale: around 29 straw square bales, about 21 hay square bales or 9 to 14 silage round bales.
What tractor do I need?
62,5 PS or 45,9 kW – the lowest requirement among bale trailers in this payload class. The nose weight is 1.925 kg.
Why is the support leg hydraulic?
With a nose weight of 1.925 kg, a mechanical support leg would be difficult to operate when loaded.
What is required for 40-km/h approval?
Plastic mudguards at the front and rear – these are required in Germany and are available as optional equipment.
Can I tow a second trailer?
No. According to the homologation documents, the trailer is not suitable for this, even though a trailer coupling is available as optional equipment.
Why does it have a 4-mm floor?
It can withstand concentrated loads – pallet feet, fork tines and machinery set down on it. A bale trailer is rarely loaded with bales alone.
