Hoe Drill Trailer Also Handles Round Bales, Headers

Hoe Drill Trailer Also Handles Round Bales, Headers DRILLS Drills (42C) 22-1-39 "It'll haul all types of hoe drills and compared to conventional drill transport methods saves time, manpower, and wear and tear on your drill. It can also be used to haul round bales and combine headers," says Lyle Bredemeier, Phillipsburg, Kan., about his new 3-pt. mounted, 2-wheeled hoe drill trailer that can be operated by just one person. The hydraulic-lift trailer is equipped with a ramp on one side. You back the drill over the ramp until the press wheels drop inside the framework, then use chains to lock down each of the drill's press wheels. The tractor's 3-pt. is used to raise the trailer's front end and a hydraulic cylinder raises the back end. An overhead steel truss keeps the trailer floor rigid and can be removed by taking out a bolt at each end and using a loader to lift the truss off. "It's the most cost efficient drill transport system on the market," says Lyle. "It takes only 10 to 15 minutes to load a drill. It works much better than pulling two drills together end to end because it requires only one per-son and doesn't put any strain on the drill's tires, axles, and drive train. We offer an optional steerable axle that uses a hydrualic cylinder to turn the axle. It helps a big trailer get around corners. "Trailers are available up to 43 ft. long. A 34-ft. trailer will handle a 30-ft. drill or six round bales." A 34-ft. trailer sells for $3,500. Add $100 for the optional steerable axle.
