123 lots depends they do have a sliding scaleWonder why they didn’t check the weight whilst they were at it, after all, it was loaded well above the sides.
What’s the fine on a lorry for being over legal weight?

Dont talk shyteI'm asking questions in an attempt to understand. I have never suggested agriculture is any different to any other industry.
Should all grain trailers be sheeted at harvest?
Should all silage trailers be sheeted at harvest?
Should all muck trailers and muckspreaders be sheeted?
Should all skips be fully sheeted securely so that in an accident the goods don't leave the lorry? i.e not a skip net
Should all 8 wheelers carrying soil/stone/gravel be fully sheeted so they don't leave the lorry in an accident? i.e. not a front/back net?
Should all gritters be sheeted?
Should all volumetric mixers be fully sheeted?
If I take the pickup to B&Q and buy a bag of sand does that (or the trailer) need to be securely sheeted so if I overturned it wouldn't escape?
Taking the above tweet it suggests that the answer to all of the above is YES. Is that the law?
I see many agricultural AND non-agricultural loads each day on the roads that if you turned the vehicle over the contents would all spill out.
In the case of the last point.. a trip to B&Q.. or anywhere else for that matter.. in Australia if you have anything in the back of your pick up..or Ute as they call them over there.. even if its a single empty cardboard it has to have a safety net over it.. no net expect a penalty noticeI'm asking questions in an attempt to understand.

For the 3rd time you are not securing the load to stay in an accident just normal road use all loads have to be secured gravity is not a load restraint I don’t know why this is so difficult skips need to be netted tippers need to be sheeted all vehicles on the road need to have their loads secured just look up load security the government have a web site you can peruse at your leisureI'm asking questions in an attempt to understand.

Cops have nothing else to do over thereIn the case of the last point.. a trip to B&Q.. or anywhere else for that matter.. in Australia if you have anything in the back of your pick up..or Ute as they call them over there.. even it its a single empty cardboard it has to have a safety net over it.. no net expect a penalty notice
You don't think the cop used common sense in stopping that trailer?common sense is a requirement for a job here, so clearly not the policeman who stopped this neighbours trailer !
Wonder how much one of those tri axle baileys weighs empty, I did have a quick google but couldn’t find out on their spec sheet, but the 20 ton model holds 24 m3, how many spuds in a cubic meter?You don't think the cop used common sense in stopping that trailer?
I can't believe he didn't weigh it, no way that trailers below 18 ton.
@Mounty @Cab-over Pete do you guys ever cross the road or go along the road with a loaded spreader? Pete's shown on here many times he's pretty hot on keeping the right side of the law with his machines given the Big A/Multidrive/Zetros discussions.
@young bull got pulled for a well stacked muck trailer I think.
Regulations already state a 15 mile radius, but if you've got bits of land all over the place........Not impossible that some sort of regulation may appear limiting the distance that Farm Tractors and trailers can be use to haul produce…
Wouldn't be difficult to sell the idea to someone sitting in a couple of mile tailback behind the Nineteen year old with his phone firmly clamped to his ear sailing past empty lay-by after empty lay-by hauling potatoes from some land that the local potato baron has rented miles from his base….
Laws that fell into place in the middle of the last century are no longer really relevant.
