    It seems like the Austrian manufacturer should make a study visit to MT Eksjö.

    @REO6205 I'm watching logging videos on Youtube again. I see a lot of log trucks in the PNW have a super long tail frame that tapers together at the pintle. What's the reasoning for that? Do you guys run the compensator on the truck inside that frame or do you put it inside the trailer reach?
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    if we are looking as woodchip swedish will get out easier, faster, driver dont have to leave cab etc.
    but you cant load any other bulk load inside. in austrian trucks you can load grain as well.
    if you want they make automatic system to open sideboards

    The Aussies do everything better. More than once I've been tempted to sell it all and move there.
