les freathy Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Rather than create a load of different threads i thought it would be more economic to put Dutch heavies into one thread and propose to do the same with some German and Scandinavian items unless anyone is not happy with that arrangement. So to start a shot of the Dutch produced FTF MS4050 6x4 tractor of which 39 were purchased as a replacement for the ageing Antars during 1972. The FTF built trailer is loaded with a leopard 2 MBT, winches were supplied by both Tulsa and Rotzer Quote
les freathy Posted August 14, 2008 Author Posted August 14, 2008 two photos of the M.A.N 40-440 a basic civilian modified tractor it is seen attached to a FTF transpoerter trailer Quote
AndyFowler Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Nice pics Les ! Thanks for info I didn't realise other countries had used the Antar ! Any pics please ? :-D Quote

6 X 6 Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 DAF FTT 3500 Tractor with DAF YTS 10050 semi-trailer carrying Leopard MBT. Come on Les, your turn now mate. Quote
Snapper Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 I like it already. More please :yay: Quote
antarmike Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Does anyone know if any of the dutch Antars made it through to preservation? Quote
Poptopshed Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 The cab on that Daf 3500 reminds of the front screen of the Tatra 813. Quote
les freathy Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 OK just to please yer some DAF YBs the first a YB616 has a most unusual crane which looks to be mounted in the centre of the body and has a grab that looks like one of those brick hoists seen on builders merchant trucks, i can only think its used to self load ammo pallets any ideas anyone. The second is the fuel tanker 7000 litres on the SWB chassis followed by the gun tractor and 155mm howitzer and last thethe flexable runway Quote
les freathy Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 Some DAF 2300 trucks two general cargo with crane and the tipper version, something i have noticed on the 6 wheeled cargos is that the Dutch dont seem to use a tilt and canvas on them i have never seen one over there and cant remember a photo of same Quote
Gareth Coe Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Nice pic - I seem to remember they drove that YP all the way to Beltring. Travelling in style, huh? Quote
Gareth Coe Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 should be this photo Love it! "Sleep" means towing, I think. One of the natives will correct me if I'm wrong Quote
hippie Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Does anyone know if any of the dutch Antars made it through to preservation? For most of th dutch army Antars the end of their working carreer ended in 1974 when the FTF made its apearance in th army. Know of one complete dutch army Antar being preserved by a MV dealer in Holland. Quote
Enigma Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Love it! "Sleep" means towing, I think. One of the natives will correct me if I'm wrong You're correct. :coffee: Quote
