do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
now I am all for traccies running the lanes round here at sensible speeds, instead of attempting the land speed record like they do ...... but...
followed this pr*ck for over 2 miles this morning after dropping Clara, coming home ..... he had someone running 'escort' up front in a pick up and yet absofknlutely CRAWLED all the way ... I could've walked quicker ....
glad i was in the P38 .... If i'd had to slip the golf's clutch for two miles i'd have dragged him out the bloody cab at the first opportunity .... he had no fkn idea ... empty road and crawling .....
he was empty and trailer looked brand spanking ... must've been 10ft wide ..... wider than the gert traccy pulling it

I can never understand the Army. We get regular convoys of tank transporters out on the road empty. Then they go and pay Metcalfe Farms to move stuff. Why don't theypractice actually moving their stuff themselves? I assume they are not expecting Metclafe to take them to war, so practicing loading, unloading, chaining down safely, actually hauling a load in real life would be good experience.

I was reading something the other day
About the earthmoving kit for army isn't actually owned by the government
It's all on a PFI contract and the army just short term rent exactly what they want to play with then offhire it when they have finished playing
They don't maintain it move it or anything
I don't know if some of the armour is the same

Didn't know that. There is always loads of plant lying about on bases, most in unused condition with paint still all over the buckets. The loader in the picture looks unused, but interesting looks like it might be an armoured cab.
I have seen the army moving main battle tanks, but not anything smaller.

At least he appears to be chaining it down. I guess a big tractor like that will pull it no problem.

Yes but 9 ton of tractor, 6 ton of trailer and a 22+ ton digger sat on top so 37+ tonnes on a maximum fendt 936 so 360 hp plus asking a lot for the pick up hitch and drawbar

Looked like a 220 to me and I thought that was on the limit. 370 is excessive.
