Two-In-One Trailer Hauls Bales, Equipment
"As far as we know, it's the only trailer of its kind," says Keith Hauser about his company's new gooseneck trailer equipped with a pop-up flat deck that pivots up in the center to dump off a full load of bales but can also be used as a conventional flatbed.
As a flatbed, you can use the trailer to haul equipment or supplies. But you can also load it up with two rows of big round bales which can then be unloaded without the need for a tractor.
The "two-in-one" trailer is 36 ft. long by 8 1/2-ft. wide. The two-section deck is built of 12-ga. steel plate. The deck is spring-loaded so it returns to the flatbed position after the deck is raised with a manual three-section ratcheting screw jack. Releasing the deck and returning it to the flatbed position takes only five minutes, Hauser notes.
It features a 10-ton running gear fitted with tandem axles and 17.5 by 16-ply tires. It'll handle up to 10 tons of any size round bales. Requires a 1-ton dually pickup to pull. Options include choice of brake types, dual tires and triple axles.
Standard unit sells for $13,800 (Canadian). Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Hauser's Machinery Ltd., Hwy. #15 West, Melville, Sask., Canada S0A 2P0 (ph toll-free 888 939-4444 or 306 728-2101).
