Danne, what size engine does the Volvo have in it ■■?

Early heavy haulage 1912 ! Dont know how you work out the horse power !!

Danne, you and Patrick carry a wide variety of different loads. Never a dull moment! It looks quite a bit colder with you though… How far south do you travel?

Hi Johnny! Well it can be dull sometimes i promis you but i still love my work on that trip we had -29 in the morning and we had some problems to start the machines. Then it dropped to -12 and started to snow hevy. So it was and full shift in the snowstorm
I just keep my self here in Sweden with an trip to Norway or Finland a couple of times a year.

Danne, that looks a bit cold!!! How dose the unit handle on corners?is the rear axle on unit a lift up?

Good looking bit of kit though!!

Hi trunker! The 4th axl both lift and stear so no problem at all! The old one could be a bit slow sometimes but the new one is briljant! Its a WTA axl thats been fitted in Finland.

-29, oh man!! Working outside in that weather or in a snowstorm you need good clothing. I assume you have your snow chains on often in winter.
