    hi, i want to draw about ten round bales of silage at the time, with a tractor and spike, what would be the best type of trailer to do that? Is there a very low flat trailer for it or some kind of low loader?

    These can be got in various formats . this is a 6 bale carrier, there is ones for 8 with 2 above the wheels, and ones which will take 10 , 6 in front, 2 above the wheels and 2 behind. Anything more than 6 would need more than a 6 stud axel.

    The other option is

    loaded with a spike on the back of the tractor, either six or eight bales.
    You would have to measure the low loader. She would be well strong enough for it.
    But telling the truth would probably be an expensive bale trailer

    the first trailer was only an example of whats there . the closest one i can find to cork is below in tipperary

    They are common, any engineering firm would be able to make one for around 1000 euro.
    Malone engineering make a strong one which would be around 1400 mark. Any dealer selling malone products could get one for you.

    Another low loader option here but is in wicklow worth the money

    Without seeing it , assuming good condition and good tyres id say around 700.
    They never really came with brakes . some had lights though
