Bale Trailer: Bales Safely From A to B
Bales are bulky, heavy and prone to sliding. A trailer built for the job saves you a lot of stopping and re-securing along the way. At Agrarzone you will find the Growi Quader Jumbo bale trailer with reinforced tyres as well as matching mesh frames that turn the bale trailer into a trailer for bulk goods and small items.
Tyres and ground conditions
On a field track and on pasture, the tyres decide whether you roll or dig in. The reinforced tyres spread the load over a larger area, which protects the sward and keeps the trailer tracking straight even on soft ground. On concrete and tarmac you notice little of that, but you notice all the more after a wet day on the meadow, when narrow tyred trailers sink in and stay put. Check the tyre pressure before the season starts and the trailer pulls noticeably lighter.
Mesh frames for more uses
The three sided mesh frame turns the bale trailer into a far more versatile machine. With it you can carry loose straw, fencing material, buckets and tools without anything falling off on the way. It fits on and comes off again, so you keep the open load area for bale runs. When loading, make sure the weight sits evenly over the axle, otherwise the drawbar gets unpleasantly heavy when you hitch up and the trailer runs unsteadily through corners. Two straps over the top of the load cost seconds and save you a stop halfway.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bales fit on the trailer?
That depends on the bale dimensions and on the model. Alongside the area, the permitted payload is always the deciding figure, and that is what you should go by rather than the space on the bed.
Do I need the mesh frame?
Not for pure bale runs. As soon as you carry loose material, buckets or tools, it stops anything falling off along the way.
What should I watch for on pasture?
Drive slowly and take wide curves where you can. In wet conditions narrow tyres sink in quickly and leave ruts that get in your way at mowing time and keep the sward open for weeks.
Bale Trailers and Mesh Frames
Bales are bulky, heavy and prone to sliding, so a trailer built for exactly that job pays off. At Agrarzone you will find the Growi Quader Jumbo bale trailer with reinforced tyres that spread the load over a larger area. That protects the sward and keeps the trailer tracking straight on soft ground after a wet day, where other trailers simply stay put. Matching three sided mesh frames turn the bale trailer into a versatile transport machine. With one fitted you can carry loose straw, fencing material, buckets and tools without anything falling off on the way. The frame fits on and comes off again in minutes. When loading, make sure the weight sits evenly over the axle, otherwise the drawbar gets unpleasantly heavy when you hitch up and the trailer runs unsteadily through every corner.
