UNIQUE FEATURES
The Farmec range of trailers are designed for general farm use, with a fast tipping body that goes to 60° will ensure even sticky loads will tip. Full RHS chassis with single drawbar member gives high strength and maximum turning circle. The 4-piece sides are hinged and easily removable with a tailgate that lifts off its hinges allowing the trailer to be used without the rear door, as there are corner sockets in the deck that locate the tailgate posts for securing the sides. This makes this a very diverse trailer for any operation. Many of these are sold with an extension of 1.2m that neatly secures into the top deck m embers, this now gives 5.2m of floor area that allows up to 11 round bales to be loaded.
A particular feature is that the headboard can lift out of its location sockets. Bolsters can then be fitted to the 4 corner sockets making the flatbed ideal for pole transport. The mechanical auto opening door opens as the trailer tips, or this can be hydraulic if preferred. Spreading chains ensuring the right amount of material is spread.
Wheel options are either 11.5 x 15.3 as standard or 400 / 60 x 15.5 as the flotation option.
