Trailer
Transports bulk crops, forage and production materials.
What it is used for
Transports bulk crops, forage and production materials.
How to operate it
Match the trailer to the fill type and towing vehicle, position under the unloading point, fill, secure/cover if available, then tip or unload at destination.
Selection and setup
Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.
Operating procedure
Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.
Before you buy or lease
Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.
Compatibility & attachments
This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.
| Compatible connection / attachment | Used for | Important notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor / truck / compatible vehicle | Transport crops, materials, bales or pallets according to trailer type. | Fill-type support and hitch type vary by model. |
| Harvester unloading | Receive harvested grain/material. | Use adequate capacity and ensure the trailer accepts the harvested fill type. |
Procedure
- Confirm the trailer supports the material you intend to carry and that the towing tractor can safely handle its loaded weight.
- Attach it and position under the combine/unloading point without blocking the working machine.
- Load until near capacity while leaving enough room to avoid repeated overflow/spillage.
- Move to the correct silo, selling point or production trigger and align the discharge side/rear with the unloading area.
- Tip/unload only when the destination accepts that fill type, then return the body/auger to transport position before moving away.

Alternative options
Auger wagon as field buffer.
Truck/semi-trailer for high-volume road transport.
Practical tips
- Capacity is only useful if the tractor can pull the loaded weight comfortably.
- Operate at the tool’s rated working speed and allow space at headlands for clean turns.
