If you only want 7m what is the issue you can have 7m trailer without the A frame.

Is is not the braked/unbraked issue?

Where did you find that? Looked everywhere! 

 

Im now torn between the Hm130 XL and the new Logosol B751, which looks the absalute dogs and has a lot of add on features coming out soon. But no Trailer.  

 

So what do you do with yours as its over 750kg then? 

Move it on flat trailer but it’s a complete faff hence the reason for the original post. I don’t use it much off site but will do more if I can just turn up, mill and go! It just not professional or profitable to set up site off a seperate trailer and start building it up in my opinion.

The website says 770kg for standard length, no fuel or cutting fluid so would possibly be ok if you didn’t mind removing something more than 20kg and carried fuel and water in the truck. I’d want it over a weigh bridge though to be sure. 

 

Mines 22’ track so definitely over.

Is that inc trailer?

No issue, I was just asking what length I could go to. Got a sensible answer pretty much straight away and a good suggestion about turning the mill through 90 degrees which I think I’ll go for.

AH, its under Tech Specs of the Woodlander XL with the Mill. If you look at the Woodlander XL Trailer only under Tech Spec theres no weight given.

Yep, that why I think it’ll be cheap rubbish pressed steel sheet. Trailer weight must be about 250kg.

ID only be using it off-site, well 90% of the time anyway. Im looking at getting quotes to have one built to spec for me, or maybe even modify a Woodland Mills or Norwood one to suit. Cant be that hard surely?

Should make for a nice setup Lee. I think you will be grateful of the brakes/handbrake, that could be a bit of a handful on uneven ground if it was uncoupled. The axle centered and the associated rear overhang will focus your mind a bit if anything like driving a rear lift rigid truck, the overhang can end up taking up both lanes on a turn.

Will be interesting to see how you turn the Mill 90 degrees. Keep us posted.
