Funnily enough we ended up keeping this merlo as a second machine and it's got 9700hrs now. Been brilliant after the initial problems. The air con still doesn't work though
It's like @Lakesdigger has already explained, a small bit of air in the tank will put the brakes on.
Lorry trailers have springs to apply the brakes when there is no air
Had 2 516's and only had a boost sensor and intercooler hose on the engine. 5500hrs on the current one.
Other niggling faults on the rest of the tractor but nothing major has gone wrong yet.
500 series is much more capable tractor than the 300
What is absolute rubbish? No need to be rude. Who mentioned HRN? I didn't.
I said that plenty of dealers update their websites every day.
Of the top of my head, Dobsons and Pyketts definitely do, and Mccleans in Dorset is updated several times a day. There are plenty more.
Some have while things were constantly going up, for example there will have been plenty of ex hire trailers sold for more than they cost new.
It won't work like that for ever though
