hey guys i got a ? have any of you ever seen a low slung carraige that you could back a mowerconditioner on and then fold the tongue along side so you could haule it down the road,for greater distances and speed.i bought this 479 nh and when i went to look at it i thought i saw a mower on something like that at a farm on the way .I had thought of doing this for mine.would be real handy if you had to go to lots of diff. fields.you could back it on chain it down and swing the tongue around (have to modify it)then hook to the truck and go.

There is a Donahue trailer for sale in the photo ads today, that is very similar the one TW and I were talking about. I've also seen them with the wheels further back, giving you more room the load a haybine or whatever on the side.

John Deere used to sell a trailer that was 9 feet wide & i'm guessing about 16-18 feet long. It had a pair of tandems that slid along the frame & when they came to the rear, the trailer went flat on the ground. You would drive over the top & chain your implement down on it. They were used for 6&8 row wide corn planters around here.

Thank you TW. That's the trailer I had in mind. John Deere, and I believe Badger as well, and there might be more. The one's I've seen had the tandem axles at the rear of the trailer. The axles may have slid forward, I don't recall. Both the axles and the hitch were hydraulically controlled to lower the entire bed flat to the ground. Drive on, chain it down, raise it up, and away you go.

I wouldn't be afraid to tow it road-speed as long as the wheels/ hubs are good. Width can be an issue in some spots, but I pulled home a 14' Heston we rented for 2nd crop this summer behind my truck no problems, only got up to about 55 or so, then wouldn't go any faster. The NH should be a lot lighter. Isn't it only a 7' unit?

this trailer i saw from what i remember seemed to be made out of tube steel and the mower was backed on from the driver side as if it was hooked to the truck.it looked like it had a single axle at the back .all they had to do was swing the tongue back against the reel and then jack up the tongue of the trailer and hook to the truck.with something like that you could travel quickly instead of tractor speed.

I built one for my old Hesston SP110, which is 3-wheeled.I wanted it as low as possible, so I made it so I could back on with the header behind the trailer wheels. An arm on the front of the trailer lifted up to engage a pin on the rear of the Hesston, so tieing it down only took minutes. I had to keep the road speed below 20MPH because all the weight behind the trailer wheels made it whip. HTH
