Iv carted for quite few years now for on different scales. On my previously regular job there is a man younger than me that carts along side me, he goes as hard as possible at all times, roads lanes fields, he is always back in field before other trailer filled no matter how long the cart is. But the main point is he's caused more damage to machines in the 3 years he's been there than I had done in total in 10 years. Hate posts broke, lift arms snapped off tractor. Mud guards ripped off, trailer scrapped all the time the tail door bent more times than I can remember. The time he saves going so hard is lost to repair all the things that goes wrong

I had a guy with me on beet trailers for a season like that, no matter how far the pad was away he'd always get back to the harvester before I was full, it became a good game, each load I'd turn the cruise control up 0.1 kph but he'd still make it back, most of the time the trailer hadn't come right down as he drew under, the tractor was a 7930 that was hired for the season, he went through 3 that season, most helpfull bloke though.

Same story with us,The A/D cowboys rolled two trailers on the road carting wholecrop, They would better off with a belt loader & some trucks, Will only be a matter of time before some one is hurt.

Giving the people a bad name who try their best to stay under the radar

Ive always thought if you need to go flat out you need another trailer on..hate bouncing about and slamming brakes on dont see the fun in it.. But i proberly have a bit more mechanical sympathy than most lads with having my own tractor to use rather than someone elses ha And having a extra trailer with tractors going steadier would proberly use less fuel than one less but them all going flatout wouldnt it?

traveling along a flat long duel carriageway one day I noted that my tractor at 50k was using 22.4 litres of fuel an hour,so I dropped down to 40k and it was using 13.6 litres an hour so I go everywhere now at 40k . so I get there 5 minutes later so what. funnily enough I always seem to catch up with others that tear along at 50k somewhere.

The thing with tractors is just cos they will do 50k they have to go that fast, If everyone thought that way with there cars and motorbikes it would be carnage

Thought that rule applied to bikes as well!?

hardly or some would be doing over 200 all the time
I knew a chap that said the bends on the M5 were quite sharp at 180

Local Police have made it crystal clear that the new law applies.

40k is the legal maximum and fixed penalty notices will and indeed have been given.

50k only legal with Fastrac or MB Trac and only with air brakes.

The whole point of most tractors having 50k is so they use less fuel dooing 40k!! Bit like a 6th gear in a car

yes but some don't think so

Thing I dont understand is how these machinery wreckers stay in the job? There is one around here, slightly different as he is the owners son, but he thinks its clever to break things! Were he my son, he would be elsewhere(if still alive, that is)!

No softly, slowly catchy monkey!

You come spend some time up here, your opinion will soon change, they treat the roads up to the Pennines like their race track. Especially when there is a pack of them together

The police can't go preaching when they don't know the law themselves. The traffic cops around here wouldn't know where to start. They only know the basics such as lights and number plate

I know they rattle on I use to on a bike but they are not flat out all the time

I don't trust the instincts of bikers when I'm being followed, just like they probably don't trust me
