chinese six

Is that true?
Cant get my head around that, if the front axle is overloaded to start with is more weight on the back is going to make the front lighter? ,I know . . . its probably me :blush:

Percentages mate. Assuming the vehicle is fully loaded front to back (bear in mind the payload would be beer kegs or straw bales etc of equal weight) then as the driver unloads from the back the percentage of load on the front axle will increase. Having the second axle at the front rather than the rear removes the risk of doing that.

I would assume that on hay and straw work the configuration allows the lorry to be loaded over the cab, as per this…

Fair enough
buts that not a “chinese six” and would you be doing mulidrop with hay or straw?
