Description
The Farmec 18 Tonne Grain Trailer is a seriously capable piece of kit built for farmers and contractors who want a reliable, heavy-duty grain hauling solution that can handle big loads without breaking a sweat.With a payload capacity of 18 tonnes, it’s designed to carry large volumes of grain, seed, or other bulk material, about 9 m³ at normal grain density, making it perfect for big harvest days or long runs between paddock and silo. The trailer’s body can be specified with either flat floor and removable lift-off sides or a robust monocoque “tub” style, giving you flexibility depending on whether you’re after easy access for loading or maximum strength for repeated heavy use.
You’ll appreciate the hydraulic tipping system, which uses a multi-stage cylinder capable of lifting the body to a steep angle so even sticky loads dump out cleanly, all controlled from your tractor’s hydraulics. Built on a fully welded RHS chassis with stout tandem axles and quality wheels, this trailer balances rugged construction with good field and road performance, and with options like hydraulic doors, bale extensions, and different wheel sizes, it can be tailored to fit your farm’s exact needs.
