Which kind of Tractor should I buy?
 

Ok, which kind? I am going to get what I want in the end anyway, but I thought this might be fun.

I am NOT going to even consider a Kenworth or a Pete. And if you suggest a Volvo, I am going to get Bush Bunny to hunt you down and tear your carrots out by the roots.

Your choices on your poll should read, Freightliner, Freightliner, International, Freightliner, since they own 3 of the 4 you listed. :P :P :P :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol:

My choices in order of preference so far are as follows.


1. International. He is two doors away.

2. Freightliner. He is two blocks away.

3. Western Star and Sterling. they are six blocks away.

I would probably consdier Volvo, if they where one door away. :lol:

Kenworth is right across the street, but due to their high dollar cost, they might as well be on Mars.

I've driven Internationals and liked them. Can be a bit noisy and may have air blowing through in inconvenient places, but performed well. Have a Freightliner, and it's the first DODGE product I've kept for more than a year. I'd rather have a slightly lower roof than this condo. Never mind what might happen to the trailer, one low overpass and I've got a "convertable". :roll:
Never tried a Sterling, but the one Volvo I test drove... Never do that again. As for a Western Star... Well, they're still supposed to be the "luxioury" line, but I don't know about them either.

daf95 superspace 530! they are the dogs bollocks!! (over here they are anyhow lol)

Just let me know which ones give you problems Rocky, I'll take care of them for ya. :wink:

Okay, I picked the International .... why? Freightshaker and Westernshaker are the same why pay more for the Westernshaker same truck. :shock:

Since KW wasn't an option...something about price :roll: guess Canadians don't know how to negotiate a price. :shock:

But as you said Rocky pick the one you want and where you be most happy with the service from. :wink: No, sorry not coming to work on your truck too! 8)

VOLVO And i aint scared of the bunny :twisted:

Sure you're not....why don't you tell Rocky what you're drivin' right now? :lol: :lol:

I voted for Intrnational but what you really need is a Rawhide Mack.

at end of day mate, you have to consider A) your budget, B)work that will be undertaken by truck C) terrain likely to be covered. pointless splahing out over your budget buying some monster bhp unit if your only going be doing distrubution centre stuff on mainly flat areas(no mountainous areas) and carrying under twenty tonnes. why have a 630bhp unit with little extras if you could do work sufficiently with a 480bhp unit with all extras costing same?you don,t live in the engine, you live in the cab. i,ve driven 400bhp units that quite easily pulled 100tonnes up some of steepest inclines in uk. climbing and descending abilities of truck depend on driver, not bhp. go for comfort and not power my friend :wink:
