Not sure if this should stay on here, or be moved to separate threads I think

I will, along with the help of the TFF team, will be running 3 online competitions for members,

the top 3 from each competition will get a free TFF mug sent free to them post free,

competition 1,
will be "what will be the total mileage of the run be",
now before anyone asks, no I don't have a mileometer or speedo on the tractor, so I cannot measure it as I go,
However I do have the total route mapped out online, and it gives it to one hundredth of a mile,
this is what will used to verify the mileage,

competition 2,
will be the total fuel used for the run, and engine hours,
this will work in the way of really based on the amount of fuel used,
if it happens that there is a few very much on the right amount,
then hours will only count in the event of a tie, to decide the winner,

competition 3,
this will be the best pictures (top 3 ) taken on route with the most likes from other forum members
any pictures taken at over night stop overs on forum members homes, will not be counted,
this is to be fair to everyone,,

Help raise as much as we can, follow the link below

the trailer was bought of a TFF member, only ever used for corn and potatoes, sides are good n straight, i put new floor in and corner posts, and took old axle out, fitted a 6 shut heavy duty axle, relined the brakes c/w hydraulic ram, works off the pressure control on tractor, so can apply them as little or as much as i want, also the axle is mounted on springs now for suspension,
