Tractorman810 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 not road legal i guess as you say joe, so does make you wonder who buys them, only people i could think of would be big farms like wilts or east anglia way places where they can get from field to farm,via fields only, even in our day i could get to pretty much all the fields via another , only roads were the private ones ,which we maintained , even then they were just crossings , guess that way its legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I occasionally see a tri axle trailer around my area belongs to a contractor but I can never get a photo of it to try and delve deeper, There is the odd three axle chaser bin's but they are only ever full when chasing the combine, I see via Instagram Hay farm's at Easter Rhynd have they're new JCB 8330 on their Richard Western chaser in place of the Fendt 939 that's usually on it.

CX820Joe Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I suppose the 3 axle Kane not road legal for grain but silage I imagine does not weigh as much? Sussex Agri Power run 3 axle Baileys behind their Big X. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The tri-axles are legal on the road up until the point they go over 18.3ton tare weight. So a tri-axle silage trailer probably sits around the 8-10ton mark in steel depending on build quality, possibly alittle less, this means that the most you can put in one and legally travel up the road is 8-10ton of material. You're very unlikely to be able to get a full load of anything around that weight in a body that size. Theoretically therefore these would only be used on farm travelling field to field, of course there are plenty that whole heartedly flaunt these rules, and that's who buy most of these trailers. Big market out in Oz and America for these bigger trailers too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, the UK was about to amend these old weight laws and bring them up to date but the Civil Servants were reassigned to deal with the Brexit charlie foxtrot.

CX820Joe Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Spotted this on Britain's website, suggests the Valtra 8950 will just be the old model. Disappointed 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumC Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I did think that would happen they are kinda taking the piss abit with this one but you know something it will be a far superior toy for the young ones than the newer models so I'm not sure what to think about it.

justy 46 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I'm surprised it won out the vote over the Ford 5000. If they can produce this Valtra and also the MF... Is that telling us they have the ability to reproduce any off their tractors from the 90s and early 00s if they wanted to...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is those old castings that we look back through rose tinted spectacles at, just wouldn’t cut it today, they are largely crude and often not accurately scaled. Old castings are exactly that, don’t mess with the past- look to the future !! 😉 regarding the voting. I too cannot believe for one minute the Valtra was chosen. Not a popular brand by comparison to anything Ford or Massey. I suspect someone tripped over the mould in the store room ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more to do with the voting system than anything else as a lot of folk just mindlessly like voting posts not considering what options are actually available 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
