Cummins/Eaton/ZF drivetrain. Behoort OK te wees.

Dis wat ek ook verstaan
Glo die mense by Grain Carriers like dit en hulle het hom bekyk toe die een daar ingetrek het.

As mens vinnig kyk lyk hy darem baie na n Volvo.

Ek het dieselfde gedink.
Glo is the cab 'n Italiaanse design

Hulle het hom na ons gebring laasjaar. Selfde drivetrain/ eaton setup as Eagles met die till. Bou kwaliteit is nie prys vir my werd.

Shell Rimula 15w40 R4. Ons was al by BP, havoline en William Penn. Vanaf 2006 het Cat ons verplig om dit of Cat olie te gebruik aangesien ons geakkrediteer was om al ons klein dienste self op Freightliners te gedoen het. Toe sien ons dadelik verbetering in sludging in engines veral in oilspinners van ou Scania trokke.
As jy wil ontslae raak van sludge ens probeer Caltex Delo, gebruik dit selfs in my petrol voertuie.

In elk geval, die karretjie het besluit om my broer se nuwe Volvo aan te vat.
Sleg tweede gekom...
So daai stampie op die Volvo het toe by R470 000 gedraai....襤

Goeie olie. Ek gebruik nou al n geruime ruk die Fuchs truckplus 15W40 in my diesels en my kwatbike.
Om een of ander rede is my kar en bakkie n knappie ligter op diesel getoets oor menigte tenks.
Minder startup kletter as die Engen Super 700 wat ek vantevore gebruik het.

Dalk moet ek Delo toe. Goedkoper by ons Ko-Op as die Fuchs.
Watter een gebruik jy want daar is Delo Gold en nog ander tipe ook? Ons Ko-Op verkoop Delo in blou 20 lt kanne.

Currently running a 2014 FH480 Globetrotter V3 with a 2015 Henred tautliner on a national basis. The 480 has 710 000km on the clock and haven't given me any major problems apart from the retarder, but busy sorting that out. We run on a national basis and loads are rarely less than 32 tonnes. Do a fair amount of EC and DBN runs, probably 30%. Minimal local work almost all long distance. Anything from 17000 to 20000km a month.
I need to add to my 1 truck fleet in the near future and I am seriously considering the 440 Globetrotter V4 (face lift model), for better fuel consumption and a more "eenvoudige" work horse, i.e without retarder. Will be a 2nd hand unit.
- Are they so much better on fuel than the 480s? (all things being equal, right driver etc etc)
- Are they to "pap" for 32+ tonne work, EC and DBN?
- Major issues on the 440?
- Excessive brake wear on the horse due to no retarder?
- We run on average around 84 - 88km/h on the road.
I know XMS, Goldfields, Rusgenot etc all run them so that must tell you something? On fridges the 440's are hard to beat.
I am only interested in Volvo, don't like a grocery basket approach. Must be the Globetrotter, don't like the "plat dakkies" in front of a taut.
All comments suggestion, "raad" welcome.

Biesie ons het nou nie so baie van hulle soos die groot honde nie en ook nie ‘n 480 nie so ek kan nie vergelyk nie. Wat ek wel kan sê is die2006-2014 450 version 3’s is die beste trokke ooit. Die nuwes het bietjie meer foutjies wat tans irriterend en duur raak. Ons oudste 440 vers.3 het net onder 2 miljoen op. Ons sleep net links langpad en hulle sleep selde onder 34 ton en gee maklik 2.14 km/l - 2.44 km/l tussen die klomp 440’s.
Brake wear os steeds goedkoper as ‘n Sondagaand gebarste waterpyo agv. Retarder se verkoeling sisteem.
88 km/h is hulle happy place.

Weet enige iemand dalk van n publieke weegbrug in die Midrand/Samrand omgewing waar ek n link kan laat weeg?
