Can you get 11t on that? Nice motor, I reckon a 6w version of that would be great in terms of payload and narrow cab.

I think I have only ever had 3 absolutely brand new ones in 35 years, the rest were hand me downs although some were only a few weeks old.

Yeah 11.5t actually. They donā€™t allow you to have have a 6wheeler with that cab, you then have to have a cf cab in dafā€™s case.

Good payload that. We get 11 on our FLEs but they have liners in them to protect the floors and help prevent loads sticking. Itā€™s a shame they donā€™t do an LF 6wheeler as the payload would be good.

I have 6 wheeled LFā€™s in the past. A local timber company had one for roof trusses, maybe they discontinued it.

edit.
Just found this, could be a Renault and itā€™s on pram wheels. Not quite what I thought it was.

Blimey 300bhp in a four wheeler :slight_smile: , dad had an FL7 8wheeler and i think that was about 245ish bhp :frowning: , had a decent payload though and the bhp didnā€™t matter too much as we donā€™t have many big hills in Suffolk.
Looks a cracking truck Freddie, i would be tempted to stretch her and stick a tag axle on the back if Daf wonā€™t put the smaller cab on a six wheeler.

Iā€™m currently driving a 360bhp 4 wheeler, itā€™s a prime mover for the wag + drag at night, and has over 850,000kmā€™s on it (I also drove it when it was brand new approx 5yrs ago), but considering itā€™s just drainage and plumbing anyway, thereā€™s no weight when wag + drag, never mind on day work when itā€™s a 4 wheeler.
Doesnā€™t do any different to the 240bhp dedicated 4 wheelers though tbh, still loses speed on hills, still set off in a similar gear at a similar rate etc. But itā€™s a 4 over 4 with split, the 240bhpā€™s are 6 speed.

Isnā€™t it amazing how some grown men behave when there are new trucks on offer. :open_mouth:
I could sort of understand it if they were driving 15 years old wrecks, but normally with fleets that have new motors the rest are only a few years old.

Iā€™m currently in a job which makes me more than happy! Regardless of new wagons etc!Iā€™m 27 and I have an 05 MAN xxl which Iā€™m more than happy with as my first artic on tramping duties! In my eyes I wouldnā€™t like a new wagon with only 4 years experience should I damage it or scratch it! Donā€™t get me wrong mine has a lot of things I would change but this day in age Iā€™m happy to be in a job!
