We are trapped here in the back roads of Devon, the council won't grit the road as we don't "meet their criteria". However, several jobs might well depend on some artics getting in and out of here before xmas.
We managed to get an artic out yesterday, it took in the end one pajero pulling a landrover defender pulling a zetor tractor pulling the artic with about 10 tons on board being pushed by a new holland tractor. About 2 hours to get 2 miles to the main road.
Makes me wish I'd bought a 432 instead of the saracen. However, thought I'd check on what the pulling capacity of the saracen is. Anyone got any experience? The roads are like glaciers here, a good two inchs of compacted ice all the way, any slope and the lorries slide into the ditch.
