Get me a 28' pup trailer and a single axle International 4900 day cab.  I'll do it.  Could probably do it in one reverse, as the wheelbase of the truck/trailer combination will be shorter with the trailer wheels slid all the way forward.   :thumb:

From working on the farm you amaze yourself with some of the stuff you manage to pull off in tight situations!

There was an accident on a single track  :cookoo: country lane, police attended but i was halfway down the road with a John Deere 8430 with a 18 tonne trailer (high - so you can just see over the top but not enough to see where your going, you have to use just the mirrors) on the back full of wheat grain. I was taking it back to weigh a load. Now normally if you meet a car going along this road they have to reverse back to a pass place. Well due to the way the road was blocked and not yet closed at the nearest junction i ended up stuck down there and backed the whole lot down this road for over a mile back to the junction. It took ages but i was well impressed with myself when id done it lol.
