I was a passenger in a 2wd ford 76 that was towing a class jag with a trailer on the back many years ago it took off down the hill and start to gather some speed . The driver who was pretty much unflappable kept it going straight while then opening the back window lifts the spool valve for the chopper rear hitch , then pulls the rope for the rear hitch safety lock that was just outside the back window and lowers the hitch to slow the outfit down by dragging the trailer skid in the ground !!! as a young lad i was impressed , he only broke off our conversation for a moment while doing it he must have done that lot.

Not us. That's far too much soil disturbance.

I ran out of field 30 years ago with a 6600 and a kidd sylorator towing a 5t trailer. Over the drystone wall and got control and round again , up through the gate and carried on filling the trailer. I had a breather when I got back to the clamp and the adrenalin wore off.
Once we got trailer brakes on the trailers ( and a fresh chopper) we ran a trailer brake extension pipe over the chopper and plugged trailer brakes in when on steep bits. Luxury.

Had 8 guys turn up here half an hour ago with zero English saying they were driving through to get to the island, now I can assure you that the pale blue you can’t even drive a quad on let alone bike but these guys said they were driving it in their BMW’s
Where are the photos of the BMWs stuck then?

I pointed where they needed to go and said go left and left again, they didn’t understand left so no idea where they went after they drove back out

Mate piped brakes through chopper to the trailer and somehow connected the tipping pipe so as he went down the hill he was tipping the trailer as he put the brakes on. Bit of a muddle.

I've seen my old chap do exactly the same thing on a Ford 7610

The guy who worked for us did the same. He couldn’t be bothered hooking on the pipe it was never used once .
had a trailer here with a valve on it one way was to tip the other way was for brakes

I know a few people who have piped brakes into the spool valves so brakes don’t come on when empty
Lot of tractors with Northern Irish plates about pulling silage trailers. Just as many accidents and as much crap everywhere though.Heard yesterday that pretoria has hired in alot of irish contractors to do the cartin this year. Less trailers lying on thier side this year.

My cousin had the opposite happen, when the 900’s first came out he was hammering down a hill like that and the hydro pipe went and the chopper went over 12mph and was heading for a quarry edge, luckily the trailer driver also drove the 900’s and knew she was going to fast and could see my cousin panicking and he drove the TM straight into the side of the header to stop the harvester. 100% saved his life.
