[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 5618142, member: 2119"] Trailers are bit old hat really. I am surprised there aren't more "self propelled" trailers about nowadays with say 6 LGP tyres or even on rubber tracks. They do exist but are generally used in the construction industry and don't have a big Ag body. We are still influenced by the horse in that the tractor is just a replacement for the horse and we yoke stuff to the back end of it. Not really most efficient though in terms of weight distribution. The other concept I like is the three wheeler tractor, favoured by the Dutch. It spreads the consolidation evenly across the width when power harrowing or drilling rather than having two horrible wheelings with pluff (puffy ploughed soil) in between. It's ideas like that that need looking at. [/QUOTE]
