I had to go to a farm just west of Gloucester on the A40, it was the afternoon of friday 20/07/2007, whilst I was loading it started to rain a bit :astonished:
Needless to say I got a bit wet :frowning: but it carried on raining, and raining, and raining, loaded I made my way into Glos.


And out towards the M5. The traffic going into town didn’t stand a chance :frowning:

SP Beet Harvester from Grimsby to N.Yorks.

Yes, that ■■■■ cutter does look like a pig to unload, It would be worse if you had to reverse the bed rully off with it :stuck_out_tongue:

We almost got a thread started on here about Wufflers once :wink:

Your right, they’re not the easiest of things to load, if theres a telescopic handy its best to chain up the ■■■ end and guide them up with the loader, then spin the castor wheels ready to reverse off before lowering.

When I left school, spent six weeks dragging one of them around and around and around, then the old man saw the light and bought a Haybob :stuck_out_tongue:

Sometimes you have to take the rough with the smooth :stuck_out_tongue: as with all dockers, they’re a law unto themselves :confused:

The trailer is a bit of a monster, its weighs in at around 13.5 tonnes, giving a tare weight of unit/trailer of 22.5 tonnes :frowning: so the extra weight of the V8 does’nt make a lot of difference, but the extra grunt is very welcome :stuck_out_tongue:

chilistrucker:

Yes it was Does, but I was working for the Irish customer, collecting all the bits he’d been busy buying on his regular trip over :stuck_out_tongue: .

Cheffins now hang out at Sutton nr Ely, it must be europes biggest ag machinery auction, but funnily enough most of the tackle leaves in the back of a custainsider/tilt destined for eastern europe, so things haven’t changed much :stuck_out_tongue:
