Re: kiwi king hauler
Oh I see you are well into the construction side of things! I would love to get myself an excavator and loader etc as I am in that industry, but the getting the cost of one past the missus is another thing lol. I like where you are heading with your setups. Also good to see more kiwis one here, I know there's a few of us out there but apart from the one facebook truck club, I am unaware.
Keep us updated!

Re: kiwi king hauler
yeah the cost side of it is an issue, I tend to scratch build all of the one i can, the others. well I find sometimes it is better to ask for forgiveness after the post man turns up LOL.

Re: kiwi king hauler
a quick update.
have fitted an eagle machinery sound card the king hauler. reduction box is now sorted, a few issues but a replacement one and all good. will fit the off road tyres to improve traction on the gravel but pretty happy with it for now. heres a quick video of it pulling the dozer. cheers andy http://youtu.be/YOuAm8QfdjA
