    there is 13L 530hp with 1920lb-ft with hydraulic clutch differences would not be that big, at least on paper.

    however this engine can put its max power all day long as it is overdimensioned and got smoother running while working with pumps, 13L are shaky.

    mostly about 155k on 6axle

    old v8 (barely in production anymore) was very good engine for timber work, very smooth running with pumps, lot of power from idle for easy taking off.

    You talking all the way around? Many 6x6 ready-mix mixers have air ride on drive axles.
