My wife only drove around the back country. She'd have a heart attack every time a car was coming at us for the first few days. One lane bridges with R/R tracks was a bit too

Jim it is a little alarming at first especially for the passenger in the front seat. When approaching a side road and a car coming. Takes a little while to get use to that!

Vlad it was a perfect day to end our vacation. Had a great picnic, friends and plenty of good food and Speights beer. Can't wait to go back again!

albert, me too shifting a manual gear box for me was a though process for the first couple hours. The auto made it easy. Paul, also on the CF Nigel put two air snorkels up behind the cab which helped a lot and dual exhaust. Next is a fridge and generator.

Fulton Hogans 404 KW and 627B scraper
Timothy Maikshilo replied to Timothy Maikshilo's topic in Other Truck Makes
For sure slpwlker, all the functions on the trailer are hydraulic. One can rise or lower each side of the suspension to level the load and the ramps come down with a simple push. gearhead, having the trailer widen hydraulically you can get in between and chain down equipment easier also. -
Here is a wee scraper my friend Tim moved yesterdayThe 404 has a 600 cummins and 18 speed gear boxThis truck pulls great and the new Superliner will do even better

Yeah the fire man's cap is pretty cool.
