| I saw this nice heavy haulage tractor of Rantala at a truckstop near Pori in Finland. |
 |
| It is an R560 8x4 tractor in 2+2 layout and it has the Topline cab. It is equiped with the 15,6 liter V8 engine that produces 560 hp and 2700 Nm of torque. |
 |
The allowed weights for such tractors in Finland is interesting. The front axles are good for 9 tonnes each. Both rear axles are allowed at 18 tons with a permit. This gives a total allowed tractor weight of 54 tonnes!!
|
 |
Behind the cab stands a tower with a large toolbox and the dieseltank. The chassis holds the battery compartment, the mufler, some air barrels and the Ad-Blue tank. Small stairs where also installed.
|
 |
The tractor pulls a 4-axled Nooteboom Pendel-X lowloader. Together with this tractor, it can have a permitted total weight of about 126 tonnes!
|
 |
This side of the chassis holds another toolbox. The tower has got an oiltank and a smaller toolbox mounted at this side.
