Nope, def room for another bucketful on top, if the digger can reach high enough, that is.

You're right, I should have brought the stepladder and forked a few more sods on. I'll do better next time!

 

Jokes aside, I had a job to tip it, first section of the ram went up fine, took a few shunts to encourage the second section to respond!

Thanks, the drawbar is set to suit the unimog, I should have flipped it back down for the Branson but I haven't got a drawbar so it's easier to use it this way on the three point linkage.

 

It's an old krone, beginning to show its age but its light (can pull it around by hand on hard ground when empty) and on wide tyres. Essential combination around here!

Worst one to get done for is insecure load that gets you points and more! ol is often just a fine if not too bad but head to extremes like plus 50% plus then can be problems most get done for Axle OL than total got tugged once in Lorry was over on front axle but got away with it as coming off the junction they pulled onto weighbridge and had come a few junctions and was tipping not delivering not far on i'd just dropped a load over rear end so brought weight forward as i'd been ok before on axle and gross.

Most Tree types VOSA won't really bother as whats classed as own account transport most won't have an operators licence anyway but put a Green General Haulage one in screen then your fare game as that's a full one and Hire and Reward.

Own account ie Waitrose/Tesco etc are own trucks so run a restricted Operator Licence

I got done by vosa about 10 years ago for being over on 1 axle on an artic, literally just left farm 500 yards away with 28 ton of osr so well under on gross but 180 kg over on 1 axle, if I'd jabbed brakes at farm gate would have been fine.

Twats still did me for best part of 100 quid!
