where are you the country

is a unimog that expensive lord.i don't think Irish laws are that bad.but if money was not an issue then would you agree that a unimog coupled to a large trailer would work.providing that farm yards were big enough to turn in etc.

rodusthebest (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

while that is true, and i even know someone in the uk that does it, it requires drivers with a hgv1 and a tacho, so there are restrictions on hours worked because they have to have brakes every few hours etc. thats even more cost due too the tax for hgv,s extra pay for drivers ( my mate driving unimogs is on £15hr) and the expence of the strict M.O.T's that these things have to go through. not to mention a new unimog is 120k. face it wagons are not viable.

but if a unimog were used to pull the trailer it could pull as much as a truck,.

i can see what your saying, but unfortunately with the legal weight limit for a tractor trailer combination in the uk is 24.5 tonnes. your not quite getting my point. so if a 600hp tractor weights 20t, the implement or trailer that it is towing cannot weight more than 4.5 tonnes. unfortunately the law applies to every tractor regardless tp weoght or power at the moment. so stop asking these stupid questions, how old are you 12?

carlocardillo (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

unfortunately i do live in the real world and its a shit world really,so your telling me that a tractor and trailer combination cannot weigh more than 24.5tons.but what happens if the tractor weighs 20tons and has 600hp do these laws still apply.i mean what is the point in increasing the size of silage harvesters if the grass is still going into the same size trailer?.in practice the more you move the cheaper it will cost you and the more efficient your day is.

rodusthebest (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Seeing as the legal maximum weight for a tractor and trailer is 24.5t. A fendt 936 at its lightest is 10 tones, leaving 14tones worth of trailer for it too pull. the trailer would be 6 tonnes, leaving 8 tonnes of grass or maize. whats the fucking point. this makes it a stupid question. As for the lorry point, its not a bad idea appart from the fact that lorries get stuch in a puddle, and that they wouldnt get into much silage clamps due to there size. Do you live in the real world?
