Remote axle greasing

Remote axle-greasing saves you time and effort by giving you access to all axle greasing points. They are all raised together in a bank in an easy to reach location. A very effective way to improve machine maintenance, without having to jump under your machine. So keep that gear greased - no excuses!

LED Lights

If you are using your machine on the road you will need a set of lights. Housed in a steel mount, the weatherproof lights are LED and plug directly into your power source.

Brakes 1
Brakes

Brakes are available for tandem axle machines. They are usually located on the front hubs only. The brake system chosen had been well-proven over the years and is reliable.

Hay Extention Feature 1

Hay extensions are 1,200mm in length. It is a simple, strong frame that extends the deck of your trailer for transporting hay.

Skid 1
Skid

If you are using your machine with a quick hitch you will want to include a skid on the drawbar. 

Tyres 2
Tyre upgrade

We have tough high performing tyres to suit any application. They are chosen for their quality and durability. 

We can change tyre sizes to suit your specific needs. The 4, 5 and 6 tonne trailers use 11.5 x 15.3 tyres but these can be upgraded to larger 400 x 15.5 tyres. The 400 x 15.5 tyres are standard on the 8 tonne trailer but can be upgraded to the 500 x 17 tyres.

The 10 tonne trailer uses 500 x 17 tyres as standard.

Custom options are also available POA.
