Only if you can juggle, fire breathe, a bit of trapeez and you're names Bonzo the clown or surname Chipperfield

Quite common in America though

I've seen pickup towing a mobile home towing a boat:001_smile:

Imagine turning that in the road- mind you them roads sure are big

A lot od agricultural contractors do it, I have seen a tractor towing a lime spreader towing a pickup on a speclift.

Tractors live by different rules though, as they're not allowed to be able to drive faster than 20Mph, and to actually drive no faster than 17mph.

 

How does one get a showman's license? Do you have to nick it from someone else, drive a white transit pickup and speak in such a way that mere mortals are unsure what language you use?:lol:

Whats the fastrack classed as:confused1:

[Daniël Bos]

The fasttrack and mog are the only two "tractors' that can legally go faster as they're the only ones that could comply with the law for LGV's (wich is what you are when you want to go faster than 20.

Technically it's only legal when registered as LGV though.

 

This is a huge hole in the law, just like ag combinations only being allowed to weigh 24t. a decent sized tractor weighs ten, put a decent trailor behind it and you could easily (and safely) double that with todays kit. Still illegal though.
