Ahead of the busy harvest season, a group of industry organisations have put their weight behind the #corncart21 campaign, aimed at promoting trailer safety and maintenance to operators hauling grass and grain.
The campaign, which has been introduced by Tilly Pass and supported by the National Farmers Union and the Farm Safety Foundation, is encouraging users to download the “Head to Tow” app before the season kicks off.
Via the smartphone app or Tilly Pass website, farmers can view trailer manufacturers’ manuals and recommended daily checklists free of charge, with Richard Western, Bailey, Larrington and Stewart just a few of the makers involved.
Safety reminder for farmers to maintain trailers >More in

Safety campaigners have urged farmers to use the quieter winter months to make sure their trailers are in good working order and properly maintained.
Agricultural trailers are legally required under PUWER 98 regulations to be in a roadworthy condition – well maintained and in good working order, with records of maintenance held by the owner.
Farm safety initiative Tilly Your Trailer runs a Tilly Pass inspection that farmers can use to make sure their trailer is safe on the roads.
The test, which is backed by the Farm Safety Partnership and NFU Mutual, involves an 18-point inspection.
