[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 7864520, member: 12099"] The best bit was they had 9t gross outfits with all singing and dancing long reach hegders but couldnt fit all the way down the narrow gaps beside the drainage ditches :rolleyes: they seem get caught in a vicious circle , , the wider tyres to cope with the extra weight , wider wheel width settings negates the extra 1m plus reach .i suppose if some other outfit has them they got to have them as well . a lot of what contractors are about is chasing something and not actually applying the correct machine for the job,as longs as its big and shiny . Too many drivers dont know how to get the best out pof a smmaller tractor either ,let alone a 2wd one. 4wd and size to a degree negates a lot of skill, learning tractor driving should be on small tractors at least. I nipped in and went around the whole site with a 2wd tractor/hedger that was 3.5 t gross and managed to reach further than they did.:ROFLMAO: with no deep ruts left on the soft ground or no ditches pressed in from the side. Actually come to think of it im not sure if you can learn it :cool::D Seriously though,Soil damage and compaction is a big issue and big kit is the main culprit ime. [/QUOTE]
