Muckaway:
I saw something very similar near Tring earlier this year where a farm trailer went over on a roundabout. Knocked over a lampost and damaged some fencing and in fairness, the police were giving the tractor driver a telling off. Boss Farmer Giles turns up in a pretty new Land Rover (no money in farming, remember) and rather than accept the tractor driver’s in the wrong, has a go at the police.
I expect plod got the usual “you can’t fine us poor farmers, we can’t even afford a new Range Rover Sport for towing my daughters’ horsebox this year…”
Aye there is still a LOT of money in arable farming, at least. I’ve been to several young farmers meetings, men in tux’s and the women, er not , plenty of Range Rovers etc in the car park.

But you must try and remember Dave ( as we keep being told ) these highly skilled lunatics, have been driving tractors since they were little boys, and are very good at reversing and driving around fields. It’s a shame that they can’t keep them in a straight line, and the right way up on the public roads. People would be safer in a war zone, than they are anywhere near these muppets.
An arse of a post if ever there was one, line up 10 lorry drivers and ten tractor drivers and play spot the numptys. Hauling straw is a different job to any other aspect of haulage, whether lorry or tractor and trailer, I went to a driver relief agency last year and this year asking for drivers and they refused, ‘‘no drivers good enough’’ they said. Come and visit me with your class 1 and we will see how much of a driver you are.
Puntabrava, you seem to think we have a vendetta against tractor drivers. Whilst the tractor drivers in Wiltshire must be the cream of all tractor drivers, just come to Herefordshire and have a look at some of the tractor drivers antics. While you are at it, put your CV up against Altitudes for comparison. You might get a shock. I have loaded and hauled hay and straw with tractors and lorries, and so has most of us that have lived all of our lives in the country area’s. Several of me near neighbours are farmers, and I have cousins who are farming and also run a big contracting business. The pic above is of a farmer neighbour pulling stumps out of my lawn two years ago.
Cheers Dave.
God they make you laugh Dave, just another muppet.

This one is Paul from the farm across the road John, a proper farmer with a responsible attitude .

If we had more like him Dave, the roads would be a lot safer. Sadly proper farmers like Paul are few and far between.

He’s not a hobby yuppie farmer trying to breed a couple of cows John, he’s a full on farmer.

yes definitely a “proper” farmer using pallet forks to pull stumps
pickup hitch still extended too
in every industry there are the good the bad and the ugly ,always will be for ever more
Have a good look Sir Henry Plumb, he’s only pulling the stumps of a leylandi hedge up. If he needs to pull stumps up on his farm they use a JCB or a 360. He had no warning about this small job, and just dropped what he was doing to help me out.

Did you not report him to customs and excise for travelling to and carrying out non agricultural work on red diesel ps, tell him he is not insured to do this work.
Sir Henry Plumb thats a new one , irrelevant what the stumps are ,its a no no with pallet forks
thats as bad as the people who decide to pull stumps with a ditching bucket and wonder why its bent

He polled the first few up with a chain hooked to another tractor, and then came back with that one to lift the stumps over the fence into a skip

He crossed the road, and didn’t charge anything. He is a busy bloke, but still found time to help me, as I have helped him in the past.

I’m not into rugby puntabrava, and I am Welsh but live a mile from the English border, so I haven’t any allegiances to either. You be careful with your blood pressure at your age
This threads a joke. They do this and that, all of them are bad and flout the law and drive recklessly and with no breaks and no suspension blah blah.
Meanwhile on this forum a truck hit a pub, there’s a debate as to why bridge strikes aren’t always the drivers fault and a fella taking a reg and company name because someone passed him out.
Do ye realise when ye talk about tractors, ye sound like the general public do when talking about us?
Trucks thundering through towns, holding up traffic, driving on the wrong side of the road etc, etc.
Read back the thread, it reads a lot like the pot calling the kettle black.

Some of us are entitled to make such posts, on this thread, as we have been typing since our fingers could reach the keyboard.
There are numpties in both jobs ,I started driving at 16 on a ford 7740 with single axle trailer then a larger trailer which carried 11 tonnes ,it’s good training for driving lorries .
And I used to haul sugar beet to a factory 15 years ago with a ford 7700 and a twin axle 18ft trailer. 18 ton of beet in and 21 ton of beet pulp back out so I can see it from both sides.
My point is that it’s not the tractors or the trucks or the speed, it’s the idiot behind the wheel. I find the double standards a bit hard to swallow. Idiots bringing down the good name of the conscientious in every job
, plenty of Range Rovers etc in the car park.
ps, tell him he is not insured to do this work.
