    I would tend to agree In an ideal world the weight should be on the axles or slightly forward of them. But it is not an ideal world. Sometimes this is just not possible .

    Gross Weight Question

    Lol The government has a job to do as well. And they don't do it very well either Escort vehicles are often a pain but it isn't because of the laws it is because of the usless jobsworth behind the wheel If we have an escorted load we use our own drivers. Our drivers are all capable of taking...

    That'll do it LOL Agri laws are different again anyway As Plank just pointed out a showmans licence gives leave for all sorts including running on tax free fuel Too true and again you can get away with it most of the time if you are sensible and look safe and legal. I don't know the case...

    Gross Weight Question

    What is the suspension at the moment? Is it on leaf springs? If so I may well have an axle that will fit and give you extra ground clearance and bigger wheels Got to watch the hitch height as well though and the C of G so don't need to go too high if you plan to do a lot of blacktop miles
