Having been to NZ that looks eerily like a kiwi sky in the background

That would be a significant investment, with O licence, transport manager cpc, inspections.

Then for that width you need police notification and maybe attendant.

Thats before you start on all the drivers hours.

He could run it on a restricted O licence. As driving isn’t his main job and Ag is now exempt from drivers hours and CPC

Since when is "Ag" exempt from drivers hours and cpc?

There was a point made somewhere I think that you could do general haulage the rest of the year to pay which would require a Standard National, but yes it could be a restricted.

Changes to Driver CPC rules will help cut red tape for farmers

The DfT has announced that drivers of goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes used by agricultural businesses as part of their own entrepreneurial activity are to be exempted from Driver CPC rules later this year.

That doesn't appear to be in place yet and to me reads as an extension of existing exemptions rather than an exemption for agriculture in general, as suggested above.

Edit
That's only driver cpc, no mention of drivers hours.

Yes I believe it’s a change to CPC that’s not implemented yet.
As for hours, I think goods vehicles used for ag within100k of base are exempt from EU rules but still have to obey GB domestic?

Not 100% sure to be honest and can't be bothered trawling through my notes or government websites. Have nothing to with goods vehicles and agriculture now but I'm fairly sure it isn't just a free-for-all as suggested.

Got our contractor in today this is a good outfit he's on 1050 tyres.

I'm pulling them out before drilling but only as I'm at loose end while waiting for it to dry up to roll sown ground

Love these 4 wheel Terragators. They're an absolute beast and apart from their size (in some situations), I think they're a perfect machine. That would take a bigger hopper too if required. Is it one of Angus Lime Stores machines?

Saw a Big A in Aberdeenshire last weekend pulling a low loader with a loadall on it

 

[Cab-over Pete]

Could have been the top man Norman Morrison.

Must give him a call for some fine chat. He’s recently bought a hotel so I hope covid hasn’t been too hard on his business.
