The six-cylinder diesel engine, at 12,809 cc, produces 390 kW, an unusually high output for a road-going vehicle, of the kind needed to move heavily loaded vehicles across rough ground. It weighs 27,690 kg unladen and is rated for 35,800 kg gross weight, giving around 8,110 kg of payload, at 8.78 m long and 2.50 m wide.
At 35,800 kg the vehicle falls into EU category N3 for heavy commercial vehicles over 12 tonnes and requires a category CE licence. The combination of very high engine output and high gross weight is typical of forestry vehicles hauling raw timber or wood chips, which often travel over rough ground rather than paved roads.
On a used vehicle of this kind it is worth checking the frame and axles for damage from off-road use, the brakes given the high weight when loaded, and the service history of the high-output six-cylinder diesel. The condition of the loading or tipping mechanism, tyres suited to off-road work, and the tightness of hydraulic connections deserve the same attention as the vehicle's previous working environment.
