I would be disappointed if you left a few small businesses in the lurch when you shut down last week. If you left no dirt behind then good on you for getting up and trying again. No offence and its not my business just my point of view.

 

Good point! Could this nest egg not have gone into saving your last business....? :001_huh: (I'll caveat that by saying I know nothing of the circumstances of its demise and by the sound of things it was for the best :001_smile:)

Fastracs are ok for arb work, mainly road based with a tractor.

 

Rubbish in the woods due to expensive plastics and un-protected belly.

 

Rubbish as ag tractors as the gearboxes are weak and they are choppy.

 

Like everything in this game, its a compromise.

i dont understand why youd want to start a fresh if you had no creditors only bad debtors surely it would work in your favour as tax would be less and you have funds to continue trading:confused:

Think you mean brake system. If you buy agri they have both hyd and air brake system. Attachment on the back dictates the braking system and legal speed of tractor.

 

no rich, i mean hydraulic steering, some of the larger fast-tracs are like some of the larger tractors now available, there is no direct conection from steering wheel to wheels, this limits them to max speed of 20mph under construction and use.

 

agrimog is correct, hydrostatic steering limits to 20mph under C&U regs. 'High speed' goods vehicles must have drag link steering and spring brakes that 'pressure-off' so in the event of a failure (broken line etc) the brakes come on.

Drag link steering ensures that there is control at all times, even if a hose blows/seal goes.

Cool. Sorry just seen this thread again. Ok, my mistake. :blushing: thought it was a typo about the steering and meant brakes. :thumbup:
