Well first time ever, I got stuck delivering straw. I rang the farmer to see if there was room to turn round as the track to where I was delivering was really long and narrow. I asked if I would be better reversing to the barn. He said I could do either as I can use the field to turn around on as it is really firm. He knows more than me about where I was going so I decided to drive in forwards as it looked a tricky reverse. I got to the barn and it was tight to say the least, I was horrified to see there was no turning circle at all at the bottom. Had to reverse out and my trailer wheels went into a deep trench and sank up to my axles in soft mud. Recovery vehicle had to be called to lift and winch me out, the farmer tried with his tractor but made it worse as he dragged my other wheels into the ditch. All respect to the recovery driver who got me out, poor sod was covered in mud by the time he got me out. Took him 3 hours to get me free. I was a bit embarrassed but the recovery guy said where I was stuck was a known problem and worse part was the farmer knew it too!!!

Never happened.
Well, wether it really happened or not, the message is true. Never trust a farmer when he says “it’s ok, there’s loads of room”; " we get big wagons in here all the time"; “you can turn around in the field”…

Not really a loser. This happens regularly to a lot of other straw drivers. My driving skills are impeccable in comparison to others so it only goes to show that this can happen to the best of us. And it did, so not really being a loser.

It happened alright. If the farmer hadn’t been so big, I would have swung for him.

Best one I had off a farmer (after I’d rang on way and was assured that I would have no problems getting in and out) was…
‘‘Well the bin man never has a problem’’
Says it all don’t it.

They’ll say anything to get their delivery, and will be the first to give you grief when you get stuck, blocking their farm. Some even expect you to pay them to pull you out of a hole…
Even on milk collections, where you are on their farm every other day, to pick up their milk, that they get paid for, they begrudge spending even a few quid to fix a ramp or make access even remotely less than a Marines assault course. As for asking for electrics and lights (in a wet dairy… ) to be fixed…
I’m a country boy and us bumpkins know never to go on a field this time of the year…its never firm enough to hold heavy’s…also never to trust the word of a Farmer!!!
