A quick read of the regs and a trailed appliance is actually an Agricultural Trailed appliance to be exempt.
-
This is interesting Unbraked Trailers Weights The laden weight of an unbraked trailer used on the road must not exceed its maximum gross weight. It may only be towed by a vehicle whose kerbside weight is at least double the unladen weight of the trailer together with the weight of any load the trailer is carrying. Agricultural trailers and gritting trailers not exceeding 2000kg maximum gross weight and trailers under 750kg gvw are exempt from these requirements. Trailers outside these categories must be fitted with brakes if their laden weight exceeds half the towing vehicle’s kerbside weight.

I checked this re firewood processors and them being "plant". They don't come under that exemption. I think but need to check but trailed implement is an agri exemption so would not apply.
-
Your going to build a trailer and not get it tested. There goes your insurance.
-
Never said it was relevant. Just said it was possible.

Its an old regulation for tractors like grey Ferguson's mf135's etc. That were never designed for towing. If I remember right the max trailer weigh had to be less than 50% of the tractors weight and it had a max weight too of sub again if I remember right 3000kg. Re the tractor speed increase I din't see any changes re tractor trailers.
-
Will need an IVA test due to the alterations.
-
Not just implements. Trailers too if the max weights are OK.
-
i was thinking more an add on to the trailered bit.
-
I found 795kg?
-
Is that inc trailer?
-
Only found up to the 130 on the website lol
-
Trailer rules in the use are more like our LGV.
-
I used to be of the same opinion re the overhang. After finding a new official doc recently I am now of the opinion that the over hang is counted in the max length.
-
I looked on the website but its not listed. The standard length is 3.1m The OP is wanting nearer 7m. Most would trailer it small & then site it & add the extension.
-
Note that even the smallest one actually weighs 900kg just for the trailer.
-
Yes an exemption for an indivisible load. Boats cut in half dont generally work well. ( I have seen bolt together long boats with a strong bulkhead to bolt the sections together) A bolted together mill has no such need.
-
For the trailer, add the mill & your over. If I was designing this, I doubt I would try to plan to be under a total all up weight of 750kg. I would also want the trailer to carry the kit needed, fuels, spares ect. Again at 7m I would want twin axles.
-
Maximum Legally Permitted Mass. Similar to MAM for vehicles. The most it could be inc all loads. A trailer 7m long will be close to that to be stiff enough to be used as a milling bed.
-
They need to be approved. The "plant" exemption if only for vehicles not trailers.
-
If its over 750kg MLPM then it must have brakes unless its for a tractor then there are some regs re the ratio between tractor & trailer.
-
Yes
-
Thanks for that, it had a bit of info I have been looking for for ages.
-
PS area's are only grey because people try to ignore or bend the rules.
