So are you going back onto other duties then? i will be when i go back, not sure about too much road work for now, got to be honest if id had air brakes on the trailer i would have stopped in time but i had the only trailer without air brakes and hydraulic brakes are not the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordantaylor Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 well even after my sad end to a great harvest i still have many memories to share with you lot from my time working here we have a international 1460 axial flow combine, its an A reg (late 70's i think) that a small farmer bought and asked us if he could try it out in out wheat as we were just over the road. we said yes and invited him in as we fancied seeing it giving our new holland a run for its money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Sorry to hear of the collision Jordan and I am glad to hear you and the others involved are ok. Crossings at the bottom of hills around a corner should always be given some thought long before you get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantaylor Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 cheers tris, what im quite annoyed about is that i have been using this road quite allot the past few weeks and ive been fine no misshaps, even the police said it could have happened to any of us drivers, i was just in the wrong place at the wrong time Sorry to hear of the collision Jordan and I am glad to hear you and the others involved are ok.

Sorry to hear you had an accident , least no one was hurt thats the main thing realy. On the power & weight basis , i mean thats the times now a JD on a 16 ton trailer is the norm if not small at these large place's. Iam not saying its right or defending it. I myself am 19 & i dont think its fair to think everyone is the same i have 1 hell of alot to learn & deffinetly dont know everything.
