    there has been talk for some time about no longer importing the 70 series here giving us the 200 serie and the Tundra ????? ( dunno what that is ) and the PUSSLUX as I call it Dunno I think it would be a big mistake for Toyota to do that

    I hear what you are saying and agree but its the age old problem takes 5 seconds to get a bad name and years to get a good name and yes they have made quantum leaps in relative short period time and yes we have the Holden Captiva and Holden Cruze and maybe even the Holden spark I believe I saw it on the telly a few weeks ago looking like we have the same cars as the US now only steering wheel is on the correct side out here LOL I guess thats the global world we live in now Paul

    I would like the to say it was the same out here but you cant give them away Kia Proton Daewoo no body wants them second hand yeah they are cheap to buy but you have them for life so to speak a bit like Russian Lada Niva's a cheap little 4x4 but no wants them Paul

    even if they last just as well but will they be worth any thing come trade in time I know out here cheap Korean cars and stuff from that part of the world no one wants it so you just about have them for life or give them away to the dealer after a couple of years

    very interesting the steel ball was used out here with varying degrees of success they used to D7's and another with a tree pusher to help on bigger trees but with scrub pulling they only used anchor chains and no ball Heres a picture of the crawlers and ball used near were I grew up as kid

    that little fella has got something big to aim for there what a great old photo I dont think they used a steel ball that dozer blade on the front is a funnel dozer and it has a cutter bar (Root Plow) is the proper name I think on the back and it all was done in one operation Paul

    I wouldn't knock a Scania. They are a pretty tuff jigger and do run rings around a lot of other better known brands and as Kevin says, Volvo ain't ever gonna be a Scania although he is much better with words than me Paul

    the Oshkosh never sold very well out here they aimed them at the high speed interstate market to begin with then logging and then just about anything else they could think of To take full advantage of the weight laws at the time the front axle needed to be set right forward which Oshkosh never did so they could not carry gross weights and then the cab was to long for the length laws of the time Wrong truck for the wrong market I think Paul
  22. mrsmackpaul
