First load of wheat straw just hauled (after an 8-day layup with a charging/electrical gremlin!). So much fun, and a billion times faster than a tractor and trailer.

Is that an agri machine now?

Yup. Think they had to send photos off to DVSA when they converted the DAF. Or rather, moved the gear from the old Bedford to the new DAF. I guess the precedent of the Bedford may have helped, but from what I understand it was fairly painless.

Handy, like the front mounted hydraulic pump!! Technically could it also tow an agri trailer or bowser or similar now?

Pass.

From what I gather on @Cab-over Pete's Xerion thread, ag machine and ag tractor are distinct classes on the V5C. Ag tractors can tow, ag machines can't (unless it's an implement for the machine, or something). All very complicated - not relevant to us as it's the only farm machine we have that goes on the road, and it doesn't have a tow hook.

That's like three motorhomes pulling artic trailers... unreal the length of some of the units and sleeper sizes they have in the states now.

Surely over 10.000hp each they would never get enough traction to use the power

 

[Speedstar]

Two mods with 4 BAE motor on each ,each motor 2500 to 3000hp ,then 2 prostock in one of the other trucks over 4000hp each, on the right track they can use the HP no problem
