  1. Hi all

    Fodens em

    I am told i can get a stgo plate from the same people who did my s26 6x4 tractor unit. However they say the foden can be rated at over 100ton with no mods and they say ballast can be mounted on a demountable rack with no issues(better for suspention and bearings as well).so today i sent my money and await there reply. I have every intention of going to overloard show in a few weeks in it.

    I like when people post why and why nots this is good for us all and if nothing else we all look a little harder at the issues. We may be right wrong but as is said it stops with the driver.

     

    Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidence of wise men??????

     

    WHAT IS SAFER?

    Antar towing a dyson and a living wagon or just the dyson unloaded for that matter or a foden drops with abs and spring brakes.A forward control driving position up high.

    Should we question the use of older less capable trucks for road use? is an antar realy fit for the roads of today? It may be legal or not but should it be used just for fun. If it were towing a 100ton load and it was a necessary journey it may be a different answer.Antars are awsom trucks and have a big following it is good to see them around. I have used a stgo truck to move my tanks would it be a good idea to pop to the shop in it.

    I have a question

    Can a stgo cat3 ballast tractor go to a truck show if it is running solo?

  2. Just read through all the threads and i have a few comments

    Right hand drive good idea but sldt s26 i have two of them are very rare only 96 made something like that there are a few in a scrap yard called hamptons but he is expensive very.

    I have just converted a s26 sldt (rhd) to a hook loader . I went to dave crouch to buy some bits came away with a foden drops .So i have a s26 6x6 hookloader for sale now.

    Scammells are great trucks if you look at a daf there are loads of scammell parts on them .http://www.armedforces.co.uk/army/listings/l0146.html

    They give unladen weight at 14040kg so near 18000kg payload

    Have you ever put a 432 on a weigh bridge? 14ton mine was not just over 12800kg as far a width the nbc pod removed it not so wide. I would put one on the back.

    Drive with respect round bends if yyou know what i mean. I am going to put my saladin on mine. the only thing i have problem with is overall hight it will be high on the back of a foden.

  3. I have just bought a Foden drops. I am looking at all what is said about size and registering it. Well i tank it the main point is its width. 2.9m very wide but under 9,ft 6in

    1 foot is 0.3048 x this by 9.6 = 2.92m not 2.9

    or if you said 1 meter is 3ft 3in = 9.57 ft

    For some oldtimers metric is what this truck was designed in

    So are we happy to say it is not notifiable

    It has a max GTW of 54000kg this would come under STGO cat2 regs? A special types plate would need to be obtained.(Easy)

    I need a spare wheel and tyre ???? 20.5x25 anyone??

  4. Evening everyone, I have searched all the usual suspects but have been unable to locate a decent 6x6 S26 grab loader/tipper. Does anyone know of any currently for sale ?

    I want one to use, not just to play with so i can do without having one which will be in the workshop all winter.

     

    Thanks,

     

    DR

    I have one for sale, sldt low miles not registerd runs drives tips etc
