[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7602510, member: 818"] You bought the property with the access in that state, even if you owned the track outright you'd still have had to repair/restore it at your own expense. So you are no worse off than if you owned it. You get the benefit of money spent on it whether its yours or someone else's. And as you and people delivering to you appear to be the most regular users of the track that seems eminently fair. Farm machinery on the back of a tractor is often wider than the vehicle. Trying to take a wide bit of kit down a narrow track with stock netting either side is a nightmare, if the back wheel goes in a pothole the back end shifts sideways and bang, you've taken out a fence post, or snagged the netting. Plus you still have the problem of turning off the track into the field - unless you make the fence set way back its nigh on impossible with trailed or over hanging equipment. Every farmer knows you don't restrict access points without very good reason, there will always come a time when you need a larger access than you ever considered, and the only way then is to start removing fencing etc. So always best to leave things open if possible. Ah, we arrive at what is probably the real reason, you don't like opening and closing the gate every time you come in and out, and your Amazon deliveries get left at the end of the track. Well you bought the place with those restrictions in place, why do you think others should save you from your own decisions? [/QUOTE]
