[QUOTE="Graham A.B Edwards, post: 2618108, member: 2904"] Firstly,I am against ,in principle,the Weight of a trailer that is 14Tonnes.....I think you mean a 4-tonne trailer with air brakes to truck standards & containing springs [leaf] and carrying a load of ten tonnes.We have been doing this for 18 years at the Holbeach-coop now TESCO where 14 farms serve one depot.Our Trantors were 3.7-Tonnes in weight powered by 128HP Perkins six cylinder engine with trailers of a kind Stewart make in Scotland but which were TRUKSPEC trailers that won a medal at the Royal Show. After 18 years of learning from the Holbeach team we have been able to win the California tractor race,drive RATHER QUICKLY, from Perth to Darwin to Newcastle to Sydney to Maryborough Victoria with an 80 HP Perkins powered product from Series 2 Mark one [ Now Series 2 Mark 2.].........but realising that ,in so doing,the CA-no-till farmers of Australia need something much bigger .....in our view up to 200HP...........................for their CA-work but NOT when they choose to plough. Firstly ,I wished readers to know that FARM transportation & low draught work consumes,in the ploughing system.much more time than primary & secondary cultivation.................................often & invariably. A first principle of the TRANTOR concept is not only its BRITISH DESIGN but one that was trying to enter the Ploughing System,the municiplalities & the livestock & grassland farms........of the WORLD.........not the UK.. We think it is early days in the EC for Conservation Agriculture but it is such a pleasure to lead John Deere.....in a conceptual .......way and to be informing them that they have missed a trick or two.....in not having sensible tractors & drills ++ for CA..... Despite this,they need to be congratulated on gaining 30+% of the worlds Ag-machinery market despite being very slow to understand soil-health. The CA -no-till system is the future farming system of the world........possibly not including potatoes & carrots & cassava ?? So what do readers think ?? Best regards, Graham [/QUOTE]
