    I suppose a snow plough or a grader blade on the front would make it even better, one hit of the air horn for warning and then put the foot down

    Just a thought..... Are the macks able to be road registered? I was under the impression that thier front axle weight is too heavy.....

    yes but you have to get the exemption renewed every 12 months.

    and as for overweight.

    the civvy spec is for 20t on the tray, the military is 10T.....

    which is why we put 13t APC's on top of them.

    20t on the tray? That doesn't make sense, maximum legal payload on these trucks I've looked at is 11.7 ton.

    This is why I get confused.

    RTA Max GTM for a 2 + 4 + 4 is 22.5 Tonne (6T + 16.5T)
    The Tare for the current tray without winch, crane, sides, rearseats, bows or tarp is 11.260 Tonne
    That makes 11.240 Tonne max payload. (Civvy)

    It would be worse for fully kitted trucks or those with winches or cranes.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I am registering primary producer Victoria. Army payloads seem to be way understated.

    Expect the crane trucks do not have winches due to PTO used for the crane? Issues with some of this direct out of army gear can be oil burning due to lack of hard usage and parading around. Went past a convoy the other day near Puckapunyal and quite a few were very smokey. Clearly these Macks are not cheap or simple to fix like an Acco.

    I bought my first Acco 6x6 last time the army majorly disposed of them in the 80's. Still have it. Made a lot of money out of it in the early days and it is still as it left the army. Always intended to get a Mack to use on retiring the Acco, so I am keen, but reckon prices are a bit high currently. I know these things sink like the titanic in soft ground, so winch is useful.
