    I know the rules are changing on the 1st of Jan, but i am wondering what the current weight limit would be on a 18' Redrock with a bogie axel. Its on hydraulic brakes

    I have an option on getting one for the harvest and i want to double check the capacity.

    As far as im aware, it will be classified as single axle in Jan 16

    Thanks

    Why classed as a single axle?

    Taken from the RSA guidelines

    "flexible suspension:
    a ‘flexible suspension system’ means, in relation to a trailer, an air suspension system, an equivalent system or a suspension system that incorporates a spring or a shock-absorbing device or both between the axle or axles and the trailer chassis. A ‘rocking bogie’ system does not constitute a flexible suspension system"
