I think you'll find with these daft new emmision laws that Cat have nothing to lose as the laws also apply to construction equipment.

makes you laugh ,years ago every one had plenty of agro if you ran trucks,and when they got them virtualy trouble free
they start all this add blue ,egr crap to make them un reliable again !!! :doh: :doh: i would hate to be young and starting
out in haulage for a living,don`t get me wrong it has been good to me with plenty of hard work allong the way.but they are
making it very hard now.imagine if they still had 180 gardeners then they would know what emmisions are .
