navypoppop Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I have been to the Autocar factory for a tour and this conventional cab would be awesome as a tractor. I hope that their sales/engineering departments come together and start building these as a tractor version instead of refuse/ mixer versions only. What a beast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Seems to fit right in with today’s styles. Certainly not the worst looking rig I have ever seen… Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 66dc75 Posted April 2, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2023 I have heard people call it ugly but I think they did a really good job making it look like an Autocar. 100 times better than the old Volvocars with the butt ugly Volvo cab 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think if they sold them out here I would be at the dealers door a while ago with a cheque in my hand Same if we Mack sold the Pinnacle out here Anyway they don't sell either out here so I'll just keep what rubbish I have until I find something I like Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, last one in 2020, loaded Star 4900 tri-axle dump was $240,000 Canadian. I'm sure they are more than that now post covid. I went to work at a mine after I quit trucking and they got me a new T880 2 years ago for a float tractor. Daycab, no sun visor, no radio, no extra gauges, plain as you could get and they paid $190,000 tax in for it. I think they got ripped off, LOL I read an article a while back from International and they were predicting the death of the owner operator with the next round of emissions laws. They were predicting a tractor will be approaching 280 to 300,000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet around here there are still dummies happy to go to work for $70 per hour. Don't seem to be any end to this BS. Same with tractors. On the first of the new year Kubota prices in Canada went up 6 to 10 thousand dollars on every model even though they had NO changes or updates at all. I was in the process of buying an M7060 cab for 66 grand and on the first it went to 72,614 so I cancelled. I'll keep all the stuff I currently have.
