In the US, well, part of the US - the Dakotas and a few other NW states we pull trains on the highway. I always say there is a trick to pulling 2 53 foot trailers - don't ever look in your mirrors. That's cuz it will scare the %#$@ out of ya. We do it quite a bit on our nightly line hauls. Moves a bunch of freight fast. Each state has different laws, some require shorter trailers. Some with short trailers in the lead, some with short trailers in tow, generally allow up to 105,500 lbs. Roads in the UK sure look narrow.
hi George I am new to your channel and not a farmer but you make it so interesting. just a question who is the owner you or the legend your machines are awesome by the way
much love for the fastrac's and cheers George for your videos, have been following you from day 1and am loving the progress!! but I've always wondered...whats the loud knocking sound coming from the tractor? and why does it seem only these do it? cheers:)
Being a farmer my self I am all for efficiency with road work and carting and Its damn cool that rig lol but because we live in a stupid world with H&S over kill which most of it use to called common sense years ago, are you legally allowed to drive a 95ft trailer train behind a tractor? I know you can drive a combine on the road with a 40ft header on the back. So at best that's 70 -80 ft in total length. Just wouldn't want any farmers getting in to trouble, and curious if its road legal
(b)in respect of agricultural trailers and agricultural trailed appliances- (i)2 unladen agricultural trailers, or (ii)1 agricultural trailer and I agricultural trailed appliance, or (iii)2 agricultural trailed appliances
So as with all government based paper work still a bit grey lol 😂 So when he's towing straw he is no longer unladen, which I assume is the purpose of the rig. Personally I would just go for it....
yeah he plugs brake lines in , but no abs line, so it's not bullshit. and I'll be surprised if that trailer has got a test certificate on it . Does it get a six weekly maintenance inspection like truck operators have to do by law. Dvsa would have a field day with this .There was a motorist killed in Glasgow with one of these things running through the brakes down a hill with a 22 tonne machine on its back . Scary
Great set-up for the field George, but is it now legal for the road in the UK? Many years ago I was stopped towing a very similar set up (a tri-axel with dolly connected behind a twin axel silage trailer towed by an MB Trac - all running on air brakes). All I was doing was moving the empty trailers from a field where they were stored back to our yard in Gloucestershire a few miles away. The policemen who stopped me were very kind (they did not take any action luckily), but they did inform me that legally the tri-axel connected to a dolly counted as two trailers and therefore legally I was pulling three trailers when the legal limit for agricultural vehicles is only two. I say that was several years ago (mid 90's) so guess the law might have changed since then, but worth checking?
Are you ever going to stop thinking of ways to terrorize the locals George lol. nice job on the fabrication she's a impressive sight even when empty, roll on harvest nice work.
Not legal George, you have 3 trailers hooked up there, the one direct behind the JCB the dolly being the second and the 45ft being the 3rd. The law states just 2 unladen agricultural trailers, not sure on the length but I am correct about the 3 trailers as they are all detachable from each other.

Not in Nordic countries with tractors. And also after a lorry with two trailers hauling logs max length 32 meter, max weight 90 ton in Sweden and 110 ton in Finland. Lot of axles! :D
Nice work George. Now we just need a video of you reversing this back away from the workshop after the wheel change :)
I was just thinking that she would be a bitch to back up.
At least you now know George that it can be done as you have proved it
great vid George. The JCB pulls it well
Yer empty haha
Nice video George, can't wait to see this in action matey, and is that the new worker? 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜👌👌👌👌👌👌
Lol a video of you going round sandy roundabout in rush hour would be entertaining 😂.

You should setup a tractor road train race, it would be epic.
Good idea, But doesn't something over a certain length need a escort vehicle, ?
Great video
What it clatter?
Like a kid in a toy shop
I was wondering how he backed out from the shop also.
That's pretty awesome
hi George I am new to your channel and not a farmer but you make it so interesting. just a question who is the owner you or the legend your machines are awesome by the way
hello, how it works baler Lely welger. how satisfied you are and what you do for a package sezonu.dík
Some outfit! the mount you use for your camera, is it magnetic? Does it effect the camera SD card??
awsome set up. need some beacons on the back
much love for the fastrac's and cheers George for your videos, have been following you from day 1and am loving the progress!! but I've always wondered...whats the loud knocking sound coming from the tractor? and why does it seem only these do it? cheers:)
It's the air compressor on the tractor for the air brakes and suspension
have fun reversing that

+Tom Hull me too, chances of being stopped by a copper or VOSA man who are suffering massive govt cuts about zero I'd say

I was thinking the same thing, depends on the local coppers and Georges relationship with them
As long as dolly can't be removed it's classed as a single trailer
But might be an issue with overall length and obviously weight depending on what it's carrying
Are you ever going to stop thinking of ways to terrorize the locals George lol.
nice job on the fabrication she's a impressive sight even when empty, roll on harvest nice work.
what is in the tanks of the lorries
👍
Need a camera on the back(middle and front), then "Australia here we come", nice video.
Why does your fastrac make a really weird sound sitting idle...😂
Hazza HD Im not Shure but i think its the air compressor
@@samvermeir7898 sam yes it is the compressor

Totally legal
never put a dolly trailer behind a draw bar trailer dolly trailer first then draw bar
rubbish
Tbh looking back at what I said it does sound a load of rubbish tbh
That`s one big unit what sort of weight can it carry?.
Parabéns amigo🇧🇷👍
She is a big old rig George.
Smart piece of kit but how is that legal wouldn't envy you if vosa got hold of you especially if you were loaded
What will you cart?
Surely that isn't legal on uk roads ?
Empty is ok, loaded isn't.
@@thegregdavieschannel Its not legal at any time you idiot
george you are just a photographer not a farmer.
Nice! But it wouldn't be legal because it is too long.
in Australia it'd be legal :
completely legal what are you bullshitting about
Antiala Reyener
that's barely a road train by length but ya know its the UK always borrowin words and names without knowing the meaning behind them
Antiala Reyener bearing in mind sir that all austrailians originate from uk, your words and meanings are ours
ian matthew well said
is that your wife George?
Yes you got it right! I was helping out over the weekend
if its not illegal it should beif u are involved in an accident then it will be because the judge will say so
Good idea, but so incredibly illegal on the road.
Not in Nordic countries with tractors. And also after a lorry with two trailers hauling logs max length 32 meter, max weight 90 ton in Sweden and 110 ton in Finland. Lot of axles! :D
surely that is illegal
Only on the road
