Like to see if the suspension came back up again after they dropped it off...can't have done it any good...but then again trannys can be stubborn critters.

Don't think it could be 7
I used to drive a fendt 720 on 750 tyres and that was 7.5 tonnes before wheel weights where added and was a considerably bigger than that although no loader

too ****ing big for that truck ..... even if it was 5t
It's amazing what transits will carry
I was working on the side of a road once and watched this double cab transit go up the road
Steel tipper body extra high side tarmac spec level loaded with soil and concrete
Thought that must be heavy but riding level
Came back down the road half hour later empty and could understand why
They had fitted such enormous rear leafs the back end was now 18in to high the towball was nearly waist height
And when working at a green waste site the telehandler I drove had a chain permanently wrapped round the head stock to lift the tipper body's up where they would overload them to the point they wouldn't tip themselves

you could've gotten a few wheel barrows and a couple of shovels in the gaps, surely
was gonna suggest a small tracked barrow/dumper in the back of the gator ....'til I saw what was in it ... proper load that Boyo

That’s ace!!!
I was struggling to get everything on last night and did a bit of blade-mounting first, but still didn’t have enough room to shut the ramps so had to go sideways and over the back with the littlest one. Not sure if you’ll be able to see the pic though.

I was in a plant yard as they where loading a container for Africa
First went the big machines 3cx a couple of minis and rollers
Next went buckets breakers Wacker plates air hoses to fill the gaps literally walking round the yard buying whatever will fit
Then they turned up with people carriers full of homeware goods and every last inch was packed with everything from bed sheets to nappies

Yeah they are nutters couldn't get the 3cx in so had gas axed one leg offgod knows whether it ever got reattached the other end
I didn't see it get loaded but was one of them self loading trailers with crane each end
The yard deals with a lot of Africans and they make the Irish loads out the auctions seem tame

Thought I’d seen somewhere that they get weighed as they get put on, so they can more or less get it right if some are filled to the brim or not?
