Making a bale Trailer

silageman

I have a lorry body and I want to put two axles and draw bar under it to make it a bale trailer.

Do I have to have a stamp or register this or obtain any certification in order to use this on a public road

TIA

You need to read the new RSA regulations.

But my reading is if towed at less than 40kph you should be OK. But breaks are required or you will be restricted to 5 tonnes gross laden weight.

From the RSA regs.
17. My trailer or piece of interchangeable towed equipment was built in the
farm workshop. How do I go about achieving compliance with the revised
braking standards?
If your trailer or a piece of interchangeable towed equipment was built in a farm
workshop and you want to find out if it meets the braking requirements for operation
at speeds over 40km/h, you should get advice from a competent person – for
example, a manufacturer of similar equipment. They may be willing to examine the
trailer and carry out any work that needs to be done to make it compliant with the
revised standards relating to braking, plating and speed rating.

But then again every time I read this regs I form a different opinion
