fältskenor

Fältskenor are a type of agricultural equipment used to transport harvested crops from the field to a central location, such as a barn or storage facility. These specialized trailers are designed to navigate uneven terrain and carry significant loads of grain, hay, or other produce. The term "fältskenor" is of Swedish origin, translating to "field rails" or "field runners," suggesting their ability to move smoothly over varied ground.

Historically, fältskenor were pulled by horses or oxen, but modern versions are typically attached to tractors. Their construction often features wide tires or tracks to minimize soil compaction and improve flotation, allowing them to operate in damp or soft soil conditions. The trailers are usually equipped with a tipping mechanism, enabling easy unloading of their contents. The design emphasizes durability and efficiency for the demanding tasks of harvesting and transportation in agricultural settings. Their widespread use contributes to the streamlined operation of modern farming practices.
