    ~GEEEEEEEEZUS~ Why does it seem to me, a person admittedly ignorant of heavy hauling, that there are not enough axels, tires, brakes under that mega-dozer's transport...? When I see videos of things like this being moved in Australia, there are five times as many tires on the ground.

    I got mine....! Don't know when... UPS left them on the porch alongside a cardboard box and they didn't get noticed!!!!! Thank God they didn't get wet. Thanks so much, they are beautiful. Ron

    How does it compare size-wise to the Komatsu 575?

    Is that true? Did United have no right to make him give up his seat? I've been working under the assumption that that very question will be at the heart of the lawsuit. I'm not a well-traveled farmer, but I have flown some, and if I was told to get off the plane I'd begrudgingly get off... even if the cows needed milked. There is no place on earth where I've felt I've had fewer rights than at an airport or around a plane. One other indictment I'd like to make is against the other wailing passengers who didn't offer to give up their seats for the doctor.

    I'm thinking your in-box is full.

    Really puts the compactness of the flathead into prospective, doesn't it?

    Title says it all. For my early Superliner... horn button would be great too.

    No actually, they are Scania 111's.... and they are literally EVERYWHERE, especially near the ports. They were the first diesel truck widely available here and were almost all painted orange. They quit importing them in 1981 or 82, but many of them are still working hard here with newer engines out of Scania 112's. Here they are affectionally called "Jacarés" which translates to 'alligator'. . . now they say Jacarés famintos.... which means hungry alligators; because their hoods are always open needing repairs. They have a great reputation and many new owner ops still buy them for starter trucks.

    Paranaguá, Brasil During peak harvest, over 40,000(!) truck loads of soybeans per month head to this busy port town.... destination, China, mostly.

    Looks like the driver forgot he was pulling a trailer in the bottom pic.

    I've asked this question before... but why do the Aussie trucks route their single stacks over to the left of the cab? The exhaust manifold is still on the right... is it just to keep the sound/smoke away from the driver?

    The interiors are so simple compared to an American Large-car.... fringe is very common in Brazil, they are considered "Latinos" you know. . .. but they don't have the strands of flags, beads, or what-have-you like you see on the Slavs and gypsy rigs of Europe.

    Could you fit an A model with a tip turbine E6 and actually run it some?
