Low loaders

[Lancs Lad]

yeh the 3" B&S coupling does have a much higher rating ..... still bloody insanity rating an FT at 46t with a semi imposed load, like that - behind the rear axle - the same as a fully imposed load on an artic unit and trailer's 5th wheel - madness !!

Even with airbrakes I bet it's a fun ride downhill

Ah it wouldn’t matter to some of the madmen in the south.. i
Think they are fairly strict on the standards of tractors in the south as well.. anything with a 50k box or more can go on the motorways and all down there

In the south you are more likely to get stopped for under loading than over loading

Not the best. They actually have a tiny footprint on hard surfaces. As only sat on the cleats.
Never driven one on road tyres.
But then you need to have the trailer doing 90% of the breaking or will toast the tractor brakes, especially if running newholland or case.

They are road legal. It's only a tread pattern. The biggest factor is agri tyres wear ridiculously quickly. A road tyre, whilst more expensive, is cheaper to run in the long run.

You might not be so far off the mark there! They are local tractors probably off on a jolly to a fastrac mechanic.
