Title states farmer had enough of closure and I'd heard it had been shut...he just obviously thought sod it..probably idiots blocking every other route

It’s a ford where loads of people race through filming etc. sometimes police are sat waiting to catch them in the act. Assume it was blocked off with concrete barriers but then flooded. Why didn’t he push them out of way with front link weight rather than wack the trailer wheels on them

 

[DaveDCB]

Guess he just didn’t realise they were in there… not straight away anyway haha

Rufford has been closed recently mainly due to morons and it becoming a famous place to film....because of morons.

If the conditions are read right and the vehicle is suitable then its totally fine.

Once again things shut due to imbeciles using it and idiots in charge having no clue as to it been imbeciles been the problem.

The suggested videos that come up at the end, of watching that one, showed a 3cx placing the blocks in there.

All in all it was an impressive advert for JD
Not much finesse involved

 

[sfrs4]

also a brilliant advert for the tyre manufacturers, those things took some right abuse and were still fine after.

Been closed after kid on motorbike hit it at like 30 cartwheeled off nearly killed himself



Video here not sure what he was thinking

Not sure who’s more of a dumbass - the kid on the motorbike or the prat on the tractor!
How he didn’t knacker the trailer is pure luck. If it was genuinely someone local fed up with the ford being closed off then surely they were aware of the concrete blocks? Why would you even attempt to drag a trailer over them?
As said, by all means push them out of the way with the weight block but don’t do what that pillock did… And he seemed hell-bent on destroying the trailer tyres by ragging past the blocks once he’d freed himself - very very lucky to apparently not damage anything.

This whole farce has been caused by the moronic Youtuber's, there was never an issue until they realised higher water levels made for better footage, so in a bid for more views, they started opening the gates on the lake above, causing issues for the wildlife in and on the lake and locals who knew no rain so the road should be easily traversable, but didn't realise some idiot had basically flooded it to make better videos by ruining their cars.

Drugs can't be ruled out as we'd say round here...
