Depends on the size of the bales of hay.
It would take 12 bales of hay!!!
Typically you can safely haul cattle in a horse trailer, however there does tend to be more breakable parts in a trailer made specifically for horses than one made specifically for cattle. A horse trailer also tends to be slightly more confined with compartment areas for each horse, however these can usually be adjusted slightly to fit different sizes. If you will be hauling both cattle and horses in the same trailer it would be preferable to get a 'hybrid' trailer that is designed for both cattle and horses.
The size of the truck depends on the size of the trailer AND the number of horses in the trailer. I would suggest a 1500 (like a dodge or chevy) for anything up to a 4 horse trailerwith nothing more then a dressing room. If it has a large licing quarters ontop of the 4 horse, I would suggest something like a 2500 or larger. Anything larger then that you would probly want a large desiel or semi. Some people use an something comperable to an S10 to pull a single horse trailer with no dressing room, but it is better to pull with something larger so you do not risk an accident because the truck can not handle it. Hope this helps.
The average livestock trailer will fit about 2 horses. Any more horses would require atleast a 16 ft trailer. However, this would also depend on preference. If this trailer is being used for a long haul as living quarters, you may not want your horses too cooped up. However, if it were a simple trip to the vet, 2 horses per average trailer would be fine.
In most places, you would need planning permission to keep a horse trailer on your land, especially if it is considered a temporary or permanent structure. However, rules can vary depending on local zoning laws and regulations, so it's best to check with your local planning or zoning department for specific guidance.
That would be a tractor and trailer that has a total of 18 wheels, 10 on the tractor and 8 on the trailer.
You would measure a tractor trailer in grams.
I would have to say no. I have a tractor that is insured the only thing that is insured is just that the tractor (fire theft etc). Although You can get your trailer insured just as you can an ATV horse trailer car truck if you had a policy for it. your tractor insurance will not help with the trailer.
A tractor capable of lifting at least 2,000 pounds is best for moving round bales of hay. It would probably take a horsepower rating of about 40 or 50.
An 18 wheeler consists of a tractor (meaning something that pulls) and a trailer (meaning something that follows.) A semi tractor-trailer rig has a trailer that sits on top of the frame of the tractor on a coupling device called a "fifth wheel." The tractor has ten wheels with two on the front axle and four on each drive axle in the rear. The trailer has two axles with 4 wheels each. The tractor and trailer together are informally called a rig. Is that what you were after?
Yes, a strong enough tornado could lift a tractor trailer. It would probably take a a strong EF2 or EF3 to do so.
A Whale Tail is a sleeper part of a tractor trailer. This would be the area the driver sleeps. You can buy them from any tractor trailer sales company or you can also try Ebay.
Trailers come in various sizes. Chosing which one would depend on the power capacity of the tractor
Let's do the math first. One 3x3x8 (obviously large square bale) is equivalent to 72 cubic feet. The length of the trailer would be 48 ft., width would probably be around 8 feet since it's that attached to a semi truck (the number is estimated though, you'll have to measure the width yourself), and bales would be probably be stacked around 9 feet high. That is 48 x 8 x 9 feet = 3456 cubic feet. To find the number of bales that can be fit on the trailer, divide the trailer dimensions by the large square bale dimensions: 3456/72 = 48 bales. Thus, 48 large square bales (plus or minus, depending on how high you want to stack them) would fit on a 48 ft flat-bed semi-trailer.
Try the tractor with a different trailer, the pig tail is most likely not connecting properly.
