exelent truck. but the driver..... i dont know... i never see sombody opening his door to see the trailer movement..

[Ashley2112]

you shoudn't really tip an artic trailer unless the tractor unit is straight in line with the trailier for max balance

@Ashley2112

thats not right.

When im tipping my Semi and he is hanging to the left side, i will bend him in the "falling" direction.

So, very dangerous tipping angles are possible.

The Trailer will support its weight on the Tractor in the diection he would fall.

If i would do this with the Trailer and Tractor in straight Line, then he would fall.

Whether I recall it correct 1m3 of sand is ca. 1.6t, according to that 25m3 weights 40t. It's a payload for the so-called cassette vehicle (60t GVW) which consists of a truck and a trailer. They've got 7 axles and maybe the most common (in Finland) is 8x4 or 8x2 + e.g. Robson and a trailer has the rest 3 - the payloads are in this case (4-axled truck) pretty much even. Anyway, this "sand scene" ain't familiar to me.

Why specify the I-shift on a 700?

You can't get it with a manual gearbox... ONLY WITH I-SHIFT!

The same goes for the 660...
