The Dutch harvest often happens when the polders are at their wettest. Pulling a 20-ton trailer load of sugar beets or potatoes out of a muddy field is a challenge even for the biggest tractors. Wheel slip damages soil structure and wastes fuel. The solution? Powered Axle Trailers (Aangedreven Kippers)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n By connecting the tractor’s Ground Speed PTO (Rijafhankelijke aftakas) to the trailer’s axle, you synchronize the pushing power of the trailer with the pulling power of the tractor. But this driveline faces extreme stress. It must handle the full torque of the tractor engine multiplied by the low gearing required for field work. It must also articulate to extreme angles as the tractor turns and the trailer follows.<\/p>\n
