Frequently Asked Questions (Farm Trailers Botswana)

Question: Which trailer size is best for hauling water in dry areas of Botswana?

Answer: For water haulage, a 5-ton trailer is the most popular choice as it can safely support a large 5,000-liter water bowser. If you are using a higher horsepower tractor like the MF 385 4WD, a 10-ton tandem axle trailer allows for massive water transport capacity, essential for remote cattle posts.

Question: What is the benefit of a tipping trailer for harvest season?

Answer: A tipping trailer significantly reduces the time and labor needed to unload crops like maize, sorghum, or manure. By using the tractor’s hydraulics, you can unload several tons of material in seconds, allowing you to get back to the field faster.

Question: Can these trailers handle the deep sand common in the Kgalagadi region?

Answer: Yes. Our trailers are equipped with high-flotation tires specifically designed for sandy conditions. These tires distribute the weight over a larger surface area, preventing the trailer from sinking and making it much easier for the tractor to pull through soft terrain.

Question: Is it easy to maintain the hydraulic system of the trailer?

Answer: Absolutely. The hydraulic tipping mechanism is simple and robust. Regular maintenance involves checking the hydraulic hose connections for leaks and ensuring the tipping cylinder is kept clean and greased. Parts are readily available at our Botswana service points.

Question: Are the side panels removable for hauling bulky items?

Answer: Yes, the side and rear panels are designed to be easily removable. This allows the trailer to be used as a flatbed for hauling bulky items such as large hay bales, equipment, or timber, making it a truly multi-purpose farm vehicle.
