woodland mills axel problem?

[Tippin Alaybye]

bought the 126 woodlander in august. the wheels are now angled as shown. i would think the structure is not robust enough for the weight.

the second image is with it jacked with no weight on the axel

any comments?

When its jacked is there any play in the wheel? The bearings could be shot? 

 

Also, is the Woodland Mills Trailer Road Legal? Im sure they are but at the back of my mind they where for carting around your land only.

The 126 is road legal but the 122 isn’t.

What about the Torsion suspension?

Would be surprising if its collapsed so soon though.

This is on the HM126 page. I guess its as legal as any other trailer thats not over 750kg though; 

 

License for Highway Use

Although it is sold as an off-road package. Road safety components are included to aid in the registration as a home-built trailer in your jurisdiction. Every province, state and country have different requirements and it is recommended to check with your region requirements.

before i bought it and was looking at other brands in the summer, the Frontier supplier said they do not do the US trailers as they were not robust enough for UK standards!

When milling do you have it jacked up so the wheels are not touching the ground?

[agrimog]

when not in use do you leave the head in the travel position, thus loading the indespension units......this could be the reason they have failed.......they are not designed to be left loaded for long periods , my own mill is sitting with the wheels only just touching the ground and the weight carried on the jacks, this is the way it was designed to work
