Pulling a trailer with a JCB teleporter

    I have a jcb teleporter with the hydraulic hitch.
    I need to deliver around 5 tonne of grain tomorrow (around 5 miles away), my tractor is out of commission.
    Reading the manual, the jcb will tow 10 tonne, and you can switch the hose in order to tip. I will be using a single axle timber trailer.
    Has anyone does this before, our have an idea how the Guards would view it?

    Met a lad around here the other day with 32 4x4 bales of barley straw behind one. I would think there won't be a bother but I am not sure of the legalities of it, I am only speculating.

    Don't forget the registration plate on the back.

    Don't know about here but I know its a common sight in France, both drawing grain and bales.

    How did it handle with a load on the rear axle?

    Not a bother, selected the loaded trailer option and it was grand.
    Was quick enough tipping too, but was slow to come back down
