The TABS trailer is specially designed to handle larger combine headers safely behind a tractor.
ADVERTISEMENT
This new trailer from Shelbourne Reynolds has been created in response to the fact that tractors, rather than combines themselves, are now most commonly used to tow headers on the road, for reasons of manoeuvrability, weight and safety.
The new TABS trailer, available for both 10.5m (35ft) and 12m (40ft) cutterbars, takes its name from the fact it features a tandem axle, brakes and steering.
It offers improved manoeuvrability and road handling by eliminating the usual front bogie on header trailers of this size, being fitted instead with a leaf-sprung twin axle bogie, with both axles incorporating lockable hydraulic steering.

These offer 45-degree turning, for easier control and manoeuvring than a mechanically-steered trailer.
