[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 7671866, member: 54866"] I do think the law is antiquated with respect to agricultural weights and speeds, however. On the continent (and in Ireland?) they are allowed much faster/heavier outfits and we should be permitted to use them as well. A properly made and inspected outfit with decent running gear, coupling and driver will be far far safer at any speed or weight than Joe Farmer 2 Cows drawing 1100 gallons in a Ford 7000. I have no issue with Fendts doing 65kph whilst pulling triaxle tankers but they should be properly designed (and maintained). I see no difference between these and one of the digester artics you see about in Somerset. Both were designed from the outset to do what they do. [/QUOTE]
