THOR A **** around here was going to tow a trailer with his landrover and tow his chipper off of the trailer ie three thing in a row lol [he was going to get a tow bar fitted to a ifor tipping trailer] he told me this was all legal and above board because he is registerd as a forester

 

[Thor's Hammer]

****.

 

[ROLLACOSTA]

but how many of us on here are foresters ,we are arborists now thats differant where the ministry is concerned right ????

 

[Thor's Hammer]

I suppose he'd be upset when his gearbox gave up.
I think the only people allowed 3 trains are showmen.
I have seen a tipping chipbox trailer with a small timberwolf fitted on the drawbar, it was a real neat little setup, and could legaly carry 8 cube of chips. (3.5t trailer)

He was wrong, ONLY showmen have that dispensation.

Bloody showmen get away with quite a bit from what i have seen ,do they need to have a HGV licence or are they exempt ???

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Well there are similarities... guys swinging on ropes, daring do etc.
clowns (groundies) running around in baggy trousers bumping into each other, tripping over, dropping things on each others heads....

the only real thing there exempt from is an O licence. otherwise they need everything we do.
I've noticed cowboys seem to be exempt from a lot of regs
