What will happen now, can you get away with just drilling or will it need working down before?

Where in the world are you that you ground is dry enough to sub soil?
I was always taught that the ground should be dry enough to fracture and crack before sub soiling.

Not legal at all, the side straps would be only classed as "fall restraint"
They would need strapped over the top to stop rolling as stated.
Spuds/silage/grain is different because of the type of trailer

So if i put all that fert in a grain trailer then it would be legal? Yet id stand more chance of the grain trailer being put on its side than the low loader. . .

Legal or not, very nice set-up and those side straps make the job safer and quicker.

Going to be worked first before drilling. One pass with a power harrow then into it with a vaderstad rapid. Ideally we're hoping to rip them up and leave over winter for spring crops to drill straight into. Sadly quite a lot of our land is very heavy clay and needs lifting to get water through and then working to create a seed bed.

Gone surprisingly well to say its still quite damp underneath. I was worried being heavy clay it would just smear through and cut a slot but it was fissuring as it went through the legs. Based on the foot of the yorkshire wolds so we're normally quite late to start drilling after the ground has dried!

Law requires load restraints capable of restraining 50% of the weight of the load to sides and rear and 100% to the front.
Those straps are known as 5t but are effectively only rated to 2.5t
(I think. Brain is not functioning today)
