The Xerion are a good tractor but unless your on a ring-fenced UK farm they will be close to being a waste of time if you or your drivers want to stay within the law on the road because of the UK 24390kg GTW, so by the time you have hung a Xerion sized implement off the back and ballasted it up you are well over the 24390kg GTW/GVW, or if you want to tow a trailer and the Xerion has all its weights removed your still left with a pitiful payload, as we just don’t have the 40000kg+ GTW that the Germans can have on the roads.

 

Also dependent on tyre/wheel equipment fitted (overall width) you may well require police notification or need a letter of dispensation from the abnormal load officer in each force district you wish to use it on the road within (which can be refused which means you would have to appeal to the secretary of state for transport!)

 

Like the majority of farmers give a monkeys about that...

Heres mine, just a teasing shot, I'll give you a better profile another time.

you do if your in an area with more informed police, we used to have take cultivation equipment to the fields on the back of the smaller tractors and take the big tractors (eg challenger 95/quadtracs) on their own. This was the case in Cambs and Hants when i have worked there

I live near Sleaford in Lincs, on some of the most productive soil in the country. Last autumn wilst cycling my kids to school I got overtaken by a (fully ballasted) Xerion towing two arctic trailers on bogeys, they were loaded with wheat and both had a good head on them. Perhaps our local plod is not that well informed? I'd be more inclined to think they are well informed but don't give a toss! Just like the guy driving it!

Be careful, I was pulled and done for being over weight in my mog and trailer.

 

I was within my train weight, but over on one axle.
