Thanks ebajema, no diggers available at the moment, a couple of what I would call tracks would be good but unable to find anything on the web, I know I am inputting the wrong description but dont know what they are called!! Thumbs Up

do what the military do and fill it with a quantity of logs / suitable pipes or fencing stakes on their sides, cross the ditch and then lift out 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Thanks Vogue, the situation is I am renewing my drains and the only access to the top field is through a part which has this ditch dug, to fill it in for 1 access seems over the top so I was looking for some tracks to span it if that makes sense Thumbs Up

It's Ted you want to sort out your drainage in the lower field.

There are cheaper ones on the bay of E If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Waffle boards as used by the Dakar Trucks are rated correctly but eye watering expensive

Remember Basics cross at 45deg so only one corner is over the ditich at the time reducing load stress Thumbs Up

Thanks Ken however as usual not straightforward, access is only 12Ft wide so 45 degrees would be impossible, ordered some sleepers so hopefully will work Thumbs Up
