To John & Jon; I know it looks wrong & wierd. That tractor at the back is hooked to the trailer with the square canvas top. The rear of the trailer is hooked to the processing trailer. So the JD in the middle of the rig is driving & towing everything whilst its harvesting. The forward speed is only a few feet per minute. The rear tractor engine is not running, so the front axle is "locked" straight so it wont wander. The whole rig is running in wheel tracks which keeps evrything in line. As soon as the trailer is full, its disconected from the rig, and a driver jumps into the cab and takes the full trailer back to the yard. Another empty trailer & tractor is backed up to the rig, hitched to the rig and they carry on harvesting within a couple of minutes Hope this makes it clear. I had to stand and watch the thing for a while myself to work it all out. LOL. Cheers David
