[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 6914996, member: 54866"] I'm convinced it is all in the mind almost. I used to get a bit nervous about gateways or outfits I was not familiar with but once you have got in their the first time you nearly forget about it. Mind you, there are some combinations where the two just will not go together so be careful. I would be very very wary about reversing a tractor and trailer on a public highway without checking what could be behind you first. You will hide a cyclist or a Mini cooper behind a silage trailer very easily and they won't be able to get out of the way fast enough if you reverse at anything but a crawl. Mind that different tractor/trailer combinations and even the tyres they are on will behave slightly differently- I used to drive a 6620 JD that would get anywhere and seemed to fit down country roads and dodge in out of traffic easily. 6920 or 7710 were nothing like as handy.
