Stewart Agricultural unveils new legend series

The Legend Range is the company’s standard tipping trailer, built with a box section chassis and a mild steel body with a box section frame and top rail for strength and durability. New styling sees the front of the chassis incorporate the drawbar mounts, with a remodelled sprung drawbar design said to be easier to adjust and allowing a wider range of height adjustment than the previous design.

Available in capacities from 11-24 tonne, the new range has a wider body giving a slight increase in capacity. The Legends have all the standard features of the GX range with the addition of spray flaps at the front of the body and wheel nut indicators. The new series are equipped with a new wiring and lighting circuit, engineered to allow the four sidemarker lights to work as indicators. New front and rear marker lights are mounted on rubber stalks, with new rear multifunction lights and powerful LED work lights fitted as standard ensure the trailer is highly visible in all conditions.

As part of a new focus on safety, a reversing camera and rear door alarm are fitted as standard, with the former sending images via a wireless connection to an in-cab display to provide the tractor driver with full visibility of the area to the rear of the trailer, while an audible alarm warns bystanders that the rear door is closing, so they should stand clear. In the same vein, the bottom section of the new access ladder folds up out of the way when not in use, with the company noting that with the lower section locked in the stored position, it will be less likely to cause an accident when the trailer body is tipped as it keeps the ladder above head height.
