Its not a new tractor, but he has never used a triple low loader in the
lane
before. Yes he does need more room for this , but thats not my problem.
The access is smaller in size than when he bought his fields three years
ago.

Sorry major boo boo!

This should read the access is NO SMALLER in size than when he bought his
fields three years ago.
I could go further and say that the entrace by my driveway is slightly
larger since I have cut back and maintained the hedges and repaired the
road.
Very different meaning! g

By the way, before anyone gets the wrong idea. He hasnt bough any land off
me.
Both his land and mine belonged to a larger farm ( estate). Back in 1915 it
was sold and divided into two smaller areas.

I own the smaller but older of the two which is effectively only a
smallholding.
Its remained the same in dimensions and usage since 1915. It was in fact
used as a seperate holding although belonging to the larger estate even
before that, possibly back even as far as Saxon times , if the historical
records and wall boundaries ( archeology) are anything to go by. My
property has only had three owners since 1915. The house I live in was
built in the middle of the fields in the late 1950's as a home for the then
smallholder.

The farmers ( that is the one I have a problem with) fields once had two
access points , my lane and a lane between two other fields that belonged
to the larger unit.
The larger unit sold the five fields this side of a natural stream which
runs through the valley to this guy about three years ago.
In fact the whole farm was split up. This guy got the fields to add to his
existing farm on the other side of the river ( the river runs at the top of
the lane but there is no access point across it) Now these fields have
access through my lane

It isnt a problem ( or shouldnt be) other than very large machinery cannot
get up this lane. Its a physical impossibility. Frankly, in terms of normal
everyday farming, he shouldnt need a triple loader or the massive machinery
he is using!
