i'd be more bothered about having it look legal, run a seven pin lighting socket to the back of the trailer to plug chipper lights into, erm.. i mean no thats a bad idea and you will get caught and punished.

 

Kind of get it looking good and act conifident?

i used to tow a 12 ton grain trailer behind mog or fastrac and then ifor williams behind with stump grinder on.. got pulled couple times [ only ever on motorway mind] and never mentioned a thing about the 2 trailers.. just stoppin to check stump grinder out.. dont think you'd have same luck behind a 4x4....

Even agri only legal if both trailers are empty even carrying spare wheel inside trailer deemed a load and illegal i was fined for this years ago-law may have changed since then

 

laws must of changed as i regularly move a 14 ton dump trailer towed behind a cheiftan low loader with a 13 ton digger on. Even when we go through the dartford tunnel the transport police and vosa only pull us in to escort us through the tunnel rather than to have a go or fine us.

yup thats it, i have a towball ready to go on the back of the ifor williams trailer, short trips only but if it looks right you might get away with it.:thumbup: just rely on the new breed of plastic cops not knowing the law.. just make sure its all safe (cables/lights etc), its too late to plead ignorance but maybe get them into a fuel prices debate while your groundy siphons their tank:thumbup:
