Does that mean that you can tow 3000kgs which includes total weight of trailer and content (animals) legally without brakes on trailer?

I have LWB land cruiser but have no idea of what towing capacity is.

That is the CX 80 tractor yes that the legal towable capacity.. if you look at the door well side you should see the capacity for yours LC

Would anyone any idea what a 13 x 7 tractor drawn trailer might hold like the one in the link

How many 450 kg store cattle could you fit in ?

How many suckers cows 700kg ~ with 250 kg ~ calve teams might fit in ?

Have a tractor with 40k box - something like the above trailer might be better valve than new a jeep trailer

12 x 6 box is 72 square feet of floor. I hold 5 sucklers in that at a tight squeeze.

13 x 7 is 91 square feet. I would say 6sucklers comfortably enough.
To be honest it's not nearly enough to justify it as a tractor only trailer. A box that an be towed behind jeep or tractor, let it hold one less, is a better option given the versatility.

Lovely looking trailer, just should be 10' longer.

10-12 stores

5-6 suckler's and there calves depending on how much you are willing to pack it

At 450kgs I’d say 9-10 stores max.

You get 7 at that weight into a 12x6, the 13x7 is about 25% bigger so 9-10 would be it.

If you already own a jeep then there’s no way that trailer is value relative to a 12x6 jeep trailer. For the sake of bringing 1 or 2 animals more I can’t see the value in that trailer and having to use the tractor all the time. If you don’t have a jeep then maybe it is a reasonable enough option but at that money I’d be holding out for one 5 or 6 foot longer and bring a decent load every time.

Is it me or does the Axle look very far back on that trailer?

Thanks for replies

I have an LAndcruiser and a worn out 12 x 6

I also have a very safe 10x 5 trailer

What I was thinking of doing was getting rid of LC and buying tractor cattle trailer.

I could use wife car for the 10x 5 - it has a 2000kg towing limit - for mart etc

The tractor trailer would be doing bulk of work - I have an out farm 8 mile away.

10X5 would be over weight for a car even a 2k rated one. Try the 12X6 behind the tractor for a while. A tractor is not much slower towing tan a jeep when fully loaded. I have a RAV and an 8X5 trailer. I have a 12X6 box for behind the tractor. The RAV is only rated 2 ton towing cap but we'll capable of towing above that
