These photos sent in from Tim Gibson in North Yorks are a familiar sight for many of us… you just know its going to take hours with a navvy shovel to reclaim all that grain!!!
The driver protests that he was forced to pull in a bit to avoid an oncoming car when the trailer wheel caught the grass verge.
It was too much for the tractor to get it back onto the road – least not at 50kph anyway!
Tractor somehow stayed upright, even though it was pulled sideways – apparently almost backwards - through the hedge!!!
Nobody injured, only some damaged pride!
