What’s the turning circle like on a new Merc Antos 26t compared to the MAN 26t ?
Only asking as my firms getting some and I may be given one
If it’s anything like the actros 6 wheeler I drove once it’ll leave much to be desired, although the same can very well be said about the MAN.
Cant comment on the MAN turning circle but the Antos has the turning circle of a small planet even with the tag axle raised - then again im used driving its bigger brother the actros on class one work and we all know these turn tighter than a rigid
had i driven only class 2 id be better able to comment but i think the antos turns like a small planet

At least it’s not the old type seddon Akki before Iveco took them over 
Worthing Bc had 6 wheeler with a Norba back and if you tried to turn to fast it would still keep going forward due to the rear being to heavy I also once sailed through a set of lights because i couldn’t stop Bloody thing
I liked them old seddons. Easy to fix, these new bin lorries have far too much electronics on them. I also liked the driving position of them, the econics and dennis are too low i think.
