 FRAME STEERING
FARMA is well known for its lumber trail-
ers with genuinely good performance in
the forest, thanks to the frame steering.
The positioning of the frame steering,
far back on the chassis, for models 9 and
10 tonnes has been rewarded with the
best tracking behind the tractor many
times over the years. On our G2 series we use well protected double
frame steering cylinders to obtain uniform torque on the drawbar.

 DRIVE Trailer accessories

Drive on all trailer models

FARMA is offering drive since 2022 as an accessory on all
trailer models. Choose between traditional Robson drive
4WD or hub drive from Black Bruin 2WD and 4WD.

ROBSON DRIVE 4WD

A well-tried and reliable solution that increases accessi-

bility in the forest at low speeds. The drive is easily han-
dled with the press of a button from inside the tractor,
which is interconnected with the main valve for simple
hose routing.

HUB DRIVE BLACK BRUIN

A trailer equipped with hub drive that ensures excellent

performance at low speed and which in practice works
somewhat faster than traditional Robson drive. With BB
the trailer can negotiate the most challenging terrain,
and as opposed to Robson drive the trailer has a soft start
when the drive is engaged. The drive is operated at the
touch of a button inside the tractor and can be controlled
so that the speed is adjusted in relation to the tractor.
BB is available with 2WD or 4WD.

NOTE!
THE DRIVE MUST BE SPECIFIED WHEN ORDERING
AND CANNOT BE RETROFITTED ON THE TRAILER.
* FARMA has changed the colour of our trailers to olive green.
