nashmach Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 We have SO got to arrange a day out for you drawing silage! You haven't lived until you are careering down a narrow lane at 40k, 18 tonnes of silage behind you, black smoke to the heavens, and then you meet a muppet in a Micra who can't reverse. There is also the joy of being the 8th load out through a mucky gap - it's usually the 8th that gets bogged to the axles. I can't believe you were allowed get married without having drawn silage. I thought it was a mandatory thing - it should be! Front weights usually frightenthose drivers Stan :D You forgot the fact of two trailers meeting in opposite directions in the narrowest places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
