Are there going to be any benefits to me from having a Tacho?

 

err no big fine!

[Grindermech]

we,ve just had analogue tachos fitted to a couple of vehicles where i work both pre-05 regs and they were around the £450 mark each both done at a Lucas service centre

[Mr Ed]

Quick question from a new member, forgot to say hello when i first joined so a big belated hello to fellow forum members, anyway back to my question what is this tree surgeons obsession with Unimogs?

 

Its a big boys toys thing, combined with the Fact that tree surgeons are scared of getting O licences and HGV tickets.

 

I run a Nissan Patrol, Mercedes Vario 7.5 tonne chip truck, Dodge S75 4x4 platform truck, and a 26 tonne double drive 6 wheeler grab truck.

Looking at the Merc Varios now, how do they stand up to general tree lads abuse?

[Mr Ed]

In my opinion, they are the best 7.5 tonner available. Absolutely fantastic machines. This is my third.

[J The Tree]

Do you by any chance know if they have Euro 1,2 or 3 engines fitted, as come July its the Low Emmission Zone for us

[Mr Ed]

Depends on what age the truck is, new or secondhand? All the later vario's were fitted with a common rail EDC engine.

[tockmal]

I run a Nissan Patrol

 

Which one? the 2.8?

[Mr Ed]

Which one? the 2.8?

 

No the 3.0.
