    Hi,


    What are the dimensions of a fertilisier pallet size (4 x 500 kg bags of say 10-10-20) ?, would you fit 3 of them on a 13 ft trailer ?

    The pallets for small bags are 4'x5' the only way you would get 3 of them on a 13' trailer is by sliding them on from the back, which I don't think will work. Maybe you'll get more replies. Not sure if the big bags are on the same size pallets.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Pak euro pallets are the small blue yokes :rolleyes:

    OP... there are 5 small bags (not 4) per row on a standard fert pallet

    Your right there. 4ft x 5ft for small bags and 500kg bags. You can always open the pallet and lift the bags on individually if you can't get the pallets on.

    thanks for the replies, trailer is 8ft wide so I guess I could open one of the pallets?, i.e. 4 x 3 (deep) 500 kg bags, usually just get 1 tonne in the spinner at a time as I'm only 2-3 miles from co-op but means taking a day off work.

    I use a 13ft trailer, put the front pallet on from the side and push the other two up from the back,
