Strap your loads properly !!!!!

We are all guilty of cutting corners when we are busy, so lets all give everything a second thought and make our industry self regulating and a beacon of safety. Most of us are self employed so don't take a risk and watching the ambucopter land is not fun. Stay safe.

Apparently it was a Zetor. A Zetor !!!
What self respecting person sheds his load with a Zetor, instead of a Fendt ?

And it's " sitting " outside the pub, not "sat " ??

Round or square?

 

[ILovebaling]

Seen plenty round here leading straw with no straps on the road, 6 string squares. And rounds with only 2 front to back. Disasters waiting to happen.

I think you’ll find it’s harvest and feeding the world so you are exempt from secure load laws....... saw an old boy on the A14 last week. 2wd tractor so I’m guessing 30kph? Towing an artic and dolly. No flashing light. Windows so dirty he could barely see out. Old light board held on by baker twine hanging slightly on the huhh. When he indicated the left brake light slightly flashed and nothing else.... it made me proud to be suffolk?

Looks like the pub is on the inside of a bend. He should of been going faster

No need for it these days, lights so cheap, straps not much more, pisses me off around here when I get behind a neighbour, I grant you it’s not a major major road, but how hard is it to turn your beacon on, put your side lights on, enough people hate farmers at mo, no need to make it worse!

Not sure if the point of a beacon off a dual carriageway myself. Drivers behind can’t see it during the day and, from behind, confusing at night.

here, beacons need to be visible from all directions, so would have one on the rear as well

but then, most dual carriageway roads are banned to agricultural equipment

not that we are allowed to move at night anyway

They have to be visible in all directions in the uk too.

Yes, when driving on a dual carriageway where they are a legal requirement , they are not a legal requirement on other roads allthough obviously there are times when it is sensible to use them, and as they’re not a legal requirement on other roads they don’t have to be visible from all around.

There’s plenty of people round here who seem to think that having at least two flashing beacons running at all times (yes, in the field, in the yard, late at night etc) is some sort of requirement.

Load big square bales crossways they cant fall off apart from one or two off the back

They still need to be strapped properly otherwise you’re asking to get done for an insecure load.

Yes but they’re just dicks, the smart ones know when to turn them on and when to leave them off.

Its only insecure when it falls off
