[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 4914980, member: 416"] Yes, I was certainly impressed. Kind of hoped I wouldn’t be, but I am!!!! It is a Paccar Daf cab and engine, ZF auto gearbox, 2 speed transfer case and Tatra driveline thereafter. It looks a very innovative and strong design. It is a beautifully smooth ride. Admittedly I didn’t get across any Land because everywhere is like a bog and I don’t have anywhere myself that I would be willing to make that sort of mess on! Maybe if we get down the road towards maybe buying one I can get a good go off road. My main concern was tyre size. I gave Joe Millington the pics of the trucks above and Tatra came back to us saying I could fit absolutely whatever tyres I like, no restrictions and still warranted. Good answer. Unfortunately, because of the driveline design, we can’t get bigger on the back than the front. But if I can squeeze the biggest set I can on the front and still steer the fronts wheels then I can put the same diameter but wider on the back to just wriggle in under 3 metres maximum width for an ag vehicle to tow a trailer. As long as DVLA will allow the truck to be classed as an ag machine we could be in business. That shouldn’t be a problem as other trucks are allowed. [/QUOTE]
