That was a brilliant video it doesn’t only show how hard it is to keep the wheels turning in weather like this but also shows the vital role of farmers who do a fantastic job of keeping roads open well done to all of you
Fantastic video of what its like in the 'Real-World' driving under these conditions. Pity the system prevents you from engaging Diff-Lock unless you're under 5mph! Great work by the customer coming out so quickly and helping you out of the issue. Well done in treacherous conditions getting the feed to the farm 😁
Haha! Thank you! I reckon i would of got alot further if i had the DiffLock in long before the hill, and had some speed up, and also keeping to the snow itself instead of someone elses track that had turned to ice. Hopefully tomorrow is a better one!
also, apparently no snow chains to put on in an "extreme weather" event like that...all respect goes to the farmer who did all the work and saved the driver and the public from waiting hours on the blocked road...
@@FiFtY2303 yeah the farmers do a fantastic job, somefarmers even plow the snow to help the local Councils / Goverment, yeah no snow chains either, if the UK goverment made a law that you have to have winter tyres and snow chains that could really help everyone
@@ScottishLad. We don't get extremes of snow and ice to warrant winter tyres. I agree if you're out in the Cairngorms or really rural Perthshire then you may benefit having a winter tyre, but haulage firms aren't going to spend the money on full winter tyres. They're all crying poverty. And the other problem is they don't last as long, cost more per unit and if the ambient temperature is too high can get very wrecked very quickly. I agree snow chains should be on every wagon but again the cost of equipping for a few days a year probably isn't worth the cost to a haulage company.

Top video bud. Glad it wasn't just me getting stuck. New dafs are shocking in any kind of weather apart from the dry 😂🤙
