Maybe for trucks that spend a lot of time on dirt roads? Hard work in hard conditions, must take its toll and take longer to get the mileage in than trucks on tarmac?

That's a big engine to be running out to 5500 RPM?

Is it a review counter with hour meter or a 60 minute timer!?

The cabs seem to sit taller on the Aussie spec ones, right hand drive too I suppose? I don't like those mega long wheelbase American ones either, seems to be a fashion over there but look horrendous, that's very smart though

I think they have them higher up for improved air flow underneath and round the engine to keep them cool, as they run decent weights.
The American ones look big units but many are lowish HP 475/500 due to the stupidly low gross weights they run.

Local Ag show on Saturday, it seems to have a lot of contractors showing off their shiny gear.
Old boss had his latest rig on show.

Polishing has improved dramatically since I worked there
