Overloaded?

We report. You decide.

Yep, I would say by 12 bales, notice the bend in the tongue?.....Mike

I can't even believe it is moving.

And I bet it will not stop!

Holy Crap.

My neighbour has the same Patrol, it will have no problem keeping those hay wagons on track, but old farm trailers usually dont have brakes... Over here, most heavy wagons had surge brakes but with this ratio (22 bales x 500kg is 11 ton, then add 4 for the wagons is 15 ton, a Patrol short wheelbase weighs just over 2 ton) surge brakes dont suffice...

So yes, this is not a combo to pull through town, go downhill, or exceed 50kmh on wide open farmroads..

I don't think it safe to exceed 10 mph with that load. There's no way he can stop that load in a hurry so he should be going just fast enough to be overcoming gravity. And if he went anywhere near a hill with that setup he should be jailed for reckless endangerment.

My brother once pulled a load of two haywagons with a total of 9 ton of mason bricks, very early in the morning when nobody was on the road yet. With a Ford Sierra

(no need to tell me what the consequences could be, i've already yelled at him how irresponsible it was when he told me :/ )

His hay barn must have been just down the road. Didn't look like he was trying to get up much speed. Probably kept it slow all the way to the barn.

Looks good to me- looks stable how it handled that bank.

Put a SMV triangle on the back and he will be legal

There must have been a really good reason for the second trailer??? Lord knows, the first trailer alone was load enough.
