Dangerous Agricultural / Forestry Vehicles

[waz77]

I dare say there are far more cars/vans on the road in bad condition and un insured than there are agg vehicles

I'm not a mechanic or mot tester but I have a very good idea on the state of my trucks and trailer, farmers choose not to bother as "ittal bee reet"

 

The majority of them.

The majority of them.

 

And I come from a farming back ground! Tree men are just as guilty in many ways and use the excuse of "it's OK I'm a tree surgeon " but it ain't when others ae at risk.

I agree with what your all saying

But unless your into farming big there is no money in it , I come from

A farming background my mother was brought up hard with very little spare cash !

There has always been money in farming, farmers just don't like too admit it.

There does seem to be a recurrent theme of people with chips on their shoulders when it comes to farmers.

 

Unsecured loads are something I've seen most days from tree wagons, dodgy vehicles are something I see regularly in many trades. Don't get me started on trailed equipment, I doubt I've seen a road legal trailer in years.

 

If farmers are the devil incarnate, sitting on great big bank accounts full of government money, why the hell are you all scrounging a living ponsing around in trees? Nothing stopping you all getting a bit of the high life.

My mother was brought up on a dairy farm , trust me while they were farming money was tight , I work long days and weekends but nothing compared to some farmers I know , I'm woken up at 4.40 am most morning by the whistle of a turbo massey heading out to feed the cattle , that's the middle of the night for most

Any thread to run down farmers is a good thread they do frustrate me!!!! There are good farmers around so somebody said i just havent found one yet.....

I go slow and steady when hauling on the road , most people hate me / tractors it's a joke some times people think we shouldn't be on the road

 

i dont have a choice in the Zetor, top speed is 15 mph
