Hold on Doug, were you in the cab or not?

[Doug Tait]

No, I wasn't, but my helmet was and lunch was in the fridge!

It belongs to the boss, I just get to use it. But yes it has a fridge, the other tractor does too. Luxury.

Anyone fancy a guess the weight quiz?

 

Last week I took the green waste heap from our yard to the tip. Was interested to see the ticket when I came back out over the weighbridge.

 

Guesses welcome for the total unladen weight of valtra with crane and hook lift trailer/skip bin combo.

 

Pics not ideal but to help...

 

This tractor and skip bin

 

On this trailer (minus the bolster bed)

 

I've a pic of the ticket for proof of the total weight, bragging rights to the winner 🏆 

 

So I was quite surprised to see what the total weight (excluding me but with lunch and fridge in!) was.

Can't say anyone guessed close either, but monkeybusiness was nearest...

🏆

Would you be out mulching on steep ground with the current weather, been wet wet down here in west Somerset.... 

 

He went a long way down a steep hill. Lucky to be alive me thinks. Bashed his head fair. Tractor looks absolutely done for.
