Fitted with a 453GM..he says truck used to gross 35 ton... I hope he used to work hourly rate...

The pics in the ad are dated 2004, wonder what it looks like today???

Don't read too much into that- my camera defaults to 2004 as the year/date when I change the batteries.

Yes, it grossed 35 ton at times, usually it grossed 22 to 23 ton, depending what was on the tag a long float it towed all over Brisbane, even had a 20 ton D6 on it once, it wasnt any slower than a White 4000 with a 871, just changed less gears, the scalies were forever pulling me up , luckily i only had my 12 ton drott on when they did

It even went to Melb twice to bring home trailers, at 80kph, it's last effort about a year ago was to tow a semi trailer up the mountain here grades to 1 in 6 or maybe 1 in 7, it had about 6 ton of pavers in the back,so there is 11 ton, the Iveco's power divider didnt work, and they had loaded the control unit for the new phone tower to far back, he couldnt get traction and he hadnt reached the steep bit and as i didnt want him breaking my chain i just said dont worry about driveing it , just let me do the work, piece of cake, i suppose he went 23 to 25 ton

and yes, the bloody camera always goes back to 2004, you dont think to change it
