hahahaha....that would be a good one to try, bolt an old worn out quad winch onto your hay shaker and say "I have a winch!", boom! extra 1000 kg's....lol
I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.
must be nice
calm yourself pal, just jokin around. But thats the same with anything, manufacture`s have to use the same stuff as the next truck manufacture, but that doesn`t mean that all trucks are used equally for different jobs. You see a lot more Volvo`s on highways and a lot more western stars on beat out logging roads. So they deffiantly have their differences. We own KW`s and one peterbilt, both are made by PACCAR, But the Kenworth is designed better for the off road oil field stuff. Some truck Makers specialize in certain categories of trucking. But thats not what this thread is about.. So my bad.
I also called this morning, must have been right after you because she said I was the second person to ask about it today. Got the same answer......they are going to call grimshaw VIS and straighten them out. Too bad, had my hopes up....lolI phoned the central permit office in Red Deer this morning. The lady I talked to said that there is an increase for hayshakers with the 1100 series to 6000 lbs, but you must have the bigger axles ( as mentioned above). But she said that there is no increase in the driver weight, she had asked a couple of her co-workers as well. Sure would have been nice if it had been implemented.
