Loaded up and trucking!!

Overall length with the extender and bullnose?

Probably that as well, but not the main reason.

 

[R.B.H]

So what is the main reason then? Or do we have to keep guessing

You can’t have multiple items on a extended trailer
I think a combine and header is ok as it’s classed as one machine

4 axle trailer will be 9ft wide for special types work, minimum load 30 tons, not allowed to carry small items.

It's got a Scania on an Irish plate in front of it, the rules don't apply!

I'm no expert but I believe that relatively recent rule changes removed the indivisible load rule if the entire load is collected from one site and all dropped at another. So if the trailer is type approved, you can get enough axles under it and get a permit you could pick up say 2 shovels totalling 35t from one place and take them both to another place.

Sounds alarmingly like common sense for once.

Yes, but we are talking STGO equipment, your post is not relevant to the photo. The T cab is operating under STGO and the trailer, the load he has on in the photo can be carried on a C&U/AW vehicle, so has to be.

Always thought this had to be removed or covered up when not operating at that weight or running empty.

Again I only have a casual interest in trucking, I may well be wrong about this particular situation and I'm not going to get into an argument but if the STGO vehicle is also plated under C&U then it can carry a normal load (DVSA special types enforcement guide). So a four axle unit with a jeep dolly and four axle drop neck could carry a mini digger. I believe that reputable heavy haulage companies jump through a lot of hoops to do this legally, and then complain about the back street operators who don't bother with the paperwork and cost of compliance but do the work anyway.
