No point, just a thought when you said you take every vehicle home every night. Another thought maybe your insurance broker is on here

Yes, she is on here.

One of the questions she asked on her visit was if they were all locked in the yard at night, which she was pleased to hear the answer “Yes”.

Can't you classify yourself as a Circus....( insert comment about the Red Tractor or NFU here ) I am sure that i read some where they can have 3 trailers or tow other vehicles with exemption?

Dipstick with the digger. He use to have some big old imported JCB wheeled digger that was far heavier than the normal 25+years ago. The moped was way older than its driver

Just for you @kill
Fred clearing around the barn conversion we did 1989. This traxcavator is now literally about 700 metres from our house sitting in some woodland on my neighbours place; resting peacefully where it conked out.
Watching Fred with his wheeled digger was like watching someone fly fishing; all the linkages were so worn that he kind of threw the bucket out in the hope that it would land in the right place. Actually he was bloody good with it.

Oh so true, the skill involved to guess when the bucket slop was going to allow correct placement into the trench was breath taking.

Depends on the set up really.
I’ve worked on umbilical gangs where we use customers fuel so just need a vehicle to get home in so towed a pick up on an Ifor behind spreading tractor but as has been said, not legal.
I’ve worked in a 4 man muck spreading gang where to move between jobs we’d tow 2 spreaders behind one tractor, loading shovel on low loader behind another tractor, 3rd spreader behind 3rd tractor and then 4th man would travel as escort out front in 3.5 ton crew cab van with 750 litres of fuel on back.
This was safe and fully legal but a lot of time was lost dropping spreaders on and off when you might only be going a couple of miles.
I’ve also worked alone on a 60k Fendt and triaxle tanker, some jobs could be 30 mile away and the best thing to do was to drop tanker and front weight off (5 mins) in yard at that job or next and zoom home in tractor at 40mph. Easier than towing a van. 30 years ago with 40k tractors maybe not.

I have given a contractor our old pickup to get home 40 miles away during silage. Saved unhitching everything and easier trip back for him early the next day.
Told him it often cut out after 30 miles but if he waited 20 minutes would usually restart
