Oh hold that, is that the 4x4 iveco? I've only ever seen them raised before.

[Ty Korrigan]

No, though it is very low 1st and reverse with difflock.

20 cm wider and 20cm longer than our 2007 3.5t

I Do like that new truck....looking forward to seeing it signwritten😎

When you say 7 tonne are we talking pay load, GVM etc? Just trying to figure weight differences between the UK and NZ.

All numbers relate to gross vehicle weight 7.5t truck with about 3t payload in this case

What are you on then Ty restricted operators license?

[Ty Korrigan]

I'm not sure what that is.

Just a 1993 licence with the 750kg towed restriction.

In the process of changing the licence for a Frenchified version.

Some say you get upgraded to a 12t gross train weight automatically.

I'll not count any chickens before they are well... shown on my licence so to speak.

Way I understand if you were in UK you would also need operators license

First day out for the new truck.

Road lane closure with traffic lights.

6m3 of chip by 11:30 then off to the weighbridge on the way back.

2.2ton of chip so 366kg per m3 of small oak and chestnut chip.

We need to lower the drawbar on the 190 and lower the towball on the Iveco.

The truck pulls very well loaded and is a totally different beast to the 3.5t
