you know what im surpised about, condsidering they are moving such large machines, im surprised their tractors dont have a posable 3rd axle. most heavy hauling companies around here have a tri axle tractor

We tend not to have a third axle because most of the time they don,t get to move such large machines heavy hallage in NZ most of the time is a 30 or 40 ton machine , so the need for a third axel is minimal but in saying that there are mor of the line haul trucks coming out with three driving axels of late ! as well as I would imagine $ are the main reason for it more rubber wearing out equals more $
