Forward Control Fandango - Speedhunters

That intro might appear somewhat long-winded and irrelevant, but to give it some context, the last time I was sat trackside watching these exhibitions of excess circulating a close section of tarmac would have been as a fresh face 10-year-old sometime around 1992. I can vividly remember feeling...

Or even a "half cab" he would have to change his name to "half cab over pete " though

I’m probably only worth half the title anyway!

Must have missed this at the time. It's taken, in the now defunct, Brigg market.

15 fat ones at 700kg = 10.5t. Maybe 6t of trailer but I doubt it, more like 5.

You'll get more than that and yes it will be overweight!

 

[fiatf130]

So what would be the hypothetical gross weight?
just asking out of interest, as looks as with grain trailers, would gross above legal weight ?

Yes it will be overweight

How many do you think it will hold? We only get 12 700kgs on our 29ft. So it's nowhere near overweight. How tight are you ramming them in?

31ft is 9.45m long. 2.5m internal width = 23.625 square m
1.4 square m per 700kg head according to good practice guide thats 16 animals.


16* 0.7 = 11.2t.

Max trailer weight = 18.29t

Leaves 7.09t for trailer.

Nice picture but wouldn't be happening today under the new proposed regime
