    They dont even make or use COEs in america. The long nose trucks are much better and more comfortable, also better with fuel efficiency. Occasionally you see a COE on the road, because its like a classic piece of history.

    Dont they have to be flat for the length restrictions? I heard its way easier to maneuver in tight spaces with the cabover because you can see better. How long are the trailers there?

    My son received a matchbox firetruck from his great-great-aunts today. Dang if the truck model wasn't from across the pond KIMG2272.JPG
    Now Santa did him a little better in his eyes (he is only 2 going on three in March/close to @98989 twins?) KIMG2256.JPG
    JD 6210R loader tractor and a 389 Pete pulling a spread. Hood opens on the Pete and he asked what kind of engine. (we talk truck and tractors a lot!!!). Told him Cummins X series. (details vague to give true model, but definitely ISX15 or newer). He said he wanted one with Cat engine. Now @daf105paccar don't be turning us in when we pull out that red motor in favor of a pre-dpf yellow one. His cows need their round balls and he doesn't have time for downtime in his farming operation. I have had a couple service calls on that new Deere already because of over extended rams on the loader lift cylinders! Need to fire up the hot glue gun for a more permanent repair.
