[This has come up a fair bit in the advice. I have managed to call in a favor from a “farmer” I know, so I’m looking forward to having a practice some time soon.
That sounds like fun! And it’s all good experience, but I wouldn’t worry about reversing. It’s a very specific routine on the test, and the road test never involves any reversing at all.
I would take the opportunity to see how the trailer follows you going forward as well if it’s a big trailer that the farmer has.
With the airline, trick is to keep the area free so don’t do the electrics before you’ve done the airlines and do the faraway one first, get square behind it with your back against the cab.
