Oxford to the Midlands

just because it's a tractor doesn't mean we can do it cheaper anyway. our fastrac runs on white deisel and our low loader trailers have mot's on them so our costs are about the same as a lorry
 
lorry can't pull a baler in the summer.
we do want a lorry one day. we do everything we can to make it legal on the road go have a o licence it's not worth running illegally and getting pulled up and having huge fines or being involved in accidents.
I know there is a lot of farmers out there that are blatantly breaking the laws with 50k tractors doing huge mileage and on red diesel
