Drawbar trailer

Post by jeveriss »

I've just seen this 5m x 2m drawbar trailer come up for sale near me, it looks like it could be a little too large for a dexta - what do you guys think? worth seeing?

3 Tonne is the max for a Dexta I think.

bensdexta is right , 3ton max , it will pull more but will strugle if your going any distance with
aload, if its just around the farm ok but on the road especailly when you come to a brae or gradint
you will be down into very low 1st or second and crawling up, on the stright 2ton top gear 10 12 mph :D
depends what you are pulling in it it wil pull the trailer empty all day long but its hard to judge what weight you
have on untill its loaded and you try it out ,always take into consideration the draw bar , sky blue
