james f Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 i was able to spin the front right wheel "laugh out loud" back was touching but only just the big shovel nearly went down too, it ONLY weighs 11 tonne Typical. The valmet got through, it was the bloody trailer that let the side down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 whole field was just rippling below the tyres, here is just where the grass roots no longer could bind hard enough together to keep the weight on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdeere6910 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 That looks nasty, was anything broken on the trailer? We have some grass like that, when a tractor runs close to you the ground wobbles, its a bit unnerving driving on it at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
