Enjoyed the banter back and forth. Wish a truck manufacturer in the USA would bring you over for a review\comparison with some of the USA specific trucks. I think that would really be interesting.
I quite like the exterior look of the MAN, only the mirrors could be better (like they were in a tga). And the interior could use some updating too. Great video again Stavros!
I have hill hold switched off on my actross tipper. When the load tips and you let go of the footbrake it means that the truck will roll away from the load and it clears the body better!
Manual gearbox in tipper is very good option, because in automated one u do not have that much controll over your clutch, and you can easly spin tires in mud, and that could cause a bad day
What do you think of that old Movie from 1956 called Hell Drivers in England they were Driving like Madmen trying to see who could hall the most loads of Ballast per day company owner expected drivers to haul 12 loads a day which was almost impossible but they were all trying to beat an renegade driver named Red who hauled 18 per day because he was just a deranged Mad Man taking bad risks & wreckless tatics
You just about managed to get it into top gear but failed to get it into bottom. You needed a hillier route ! Haven't a clue what you two were blethering on about in the cab - I was too busy keeping an eye on the rev counter and gear selection. Interesting that the green portion of the rev counter adjusts to the driving style.
13:56 and there we have the typical BMW driver at his best.. atleast this BMW driver ticked the box for the optional indicator upgrade from the factory! hahah they're just laughing at all the bus lane offenders :D
Starvros 969 . The lights on the back of the truck have to be type approval . There is set high and set distances from the back of the truck . Same with crash bars and side crash bars . All truck bodybuilders have to keep with in set rules . A truck has to pass a test before it can get cert before it is registered . Ie truck body manufacturer has to be registered with the rsa . With guard on lights its not accepted on the back of a truck . They say it limits the vision of the lights . No guards on back lights on new trucks is a no no . Truck has to had a registered back crash bar for test . If you ask truck dealers they will fill you in plus a ball paperwork too .
Interior controls: I would think that operators would appreciate instead having the two ranges of Drive and Reverse matched up on the same side of the switch dial. At very least Dm and Rm should be the ones closest together. Those are the ones that would be most often switched back and forth between.
Yeah I guess the world is changing but over here in the colonies we still like Pete’s & KWs & freight shakers & bulldogs with manual 13 & 18 & 12spd Mack’s Over here we call extra heavy specs & extra Axles Michigan Specials I would like to see what that MAN can do on the old super slab over here in the States and in 🏴 Scotland my heritage is Native American & English & Welsh & Irish from my Dads side and My Mothers side is 100percent Scottish my Dad is from the State of Arkansas and my Mom was Born in Georgia me I am a Chicago Man you call them tippers we just say Dump trucks or Rock Box maybe some day the TransAtlantic highway Will be built from Boston to France us Americans we think BIG!!!!
I thought hud reduction axles on tippers were for ground clearance, rather than gearing on tippers? Buses uses them similarly for rear engine packaging reasons. Sorry for being picky.
You are correct Checker, with hub reduction axles the crown gear in the diff is smaller so the diff casing itself is further off the ground. The difference in the gearing is compensated for by the hub gears. Also means the half shafts are under less stress.
Can you lift any axles on this truck? We can gross 35 ton with four axles and 42 with five axles. With trailer the combined gross weight can be 76 tons and on some routes with hct permit over hundred tons. Greetings from Finland.
I drive the same MAN 35.420 and a Volvo FM 420 (2007) in a mine here back home .... Yes its OKAY but for ROAD works or a Sand Quarry , but not for Deep mine excavation , if you don't lock the diff you are not going anywhere off road ... which I don't really like , I would never choose MAN to a VOLVO for Mine works , the Volvo is simply unmatched , plus the cabin suspension is so bad in a MAN , so yeah its good for Sand or Asphalt works , not for a Mine
Typical BMW driver using the bus lane at 13:56 to get a couple of cars ahead and save 5 seconds. And there he was again, in the queue at 16:39. How much did he gain ? Straight through the red traffic light at 16:59 too. Not really a surprise though.
Love your videos, very informative and professional. By the way I drive this truck, great truck, love it
Great video stavros, nice to see a tipper in action.

My Favorite Best Trucks Ever Made!

Great video again Stavros!
Once again another great video Stavros! I like these 8 x 4 rigids you guys run in Europe!
Thanks bro you did well everything is clear.
Gran Camion Man, una gran herramienta para trabajar, un gran video. Saludos desde España🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Bill it bill it truck man ❤👑
Your videos make me wish I lived in Europe, just so I could drive these trucks! Keep up the amazing videos!

Great video 👍
Nice truck stavros and a beautiful video 💪💪
Thanks. More extracurricular activities Stavros.

Good muck shift truck but with manual gearbox. We run man 8 wheelers for years on muck shift since the 80s good strong truck.
Hello Stavros.
Great videos and nice channel.
Keep up the good work.
Are you from Greece?
Good video man. But I prefer the scania yokes I must admit. I've driven a MAN unit and hated it. But I enjoy your videos. Keep it up
From Kenya💪

another great video! if you dont mind could you test drive more tractors they were good craic watching you drive them
I love your videos there the best
Great info 🙏🙏
can tipper trucks be configured with digital camera (Mirror cam) should it be an option?
When you make a test with iveco s way new... you are a good in this job!

What weight was is empty.. important question to see what the max legal payload is
Well done Stavros and which gearbox would you choose ZF Traxon used in MAN Leyland DAF & IVECO or Scania Opticruise?
Lo tenias que haber puesto haber como se movia dentro de una obra solo se ve como haceis turismo.
Cuestas con gran desnivel y cargado...👍🏾🤔

Will you be doing a video on your own truck you drive for work?
what is the payload/tare weight on MAN 8x4 TGS Tipper

Leyland review?
VERY COOL ;D
hello stavros could you please also make videos while test driving buses too

No
Hello brother..... hai n hello from malaysian truckers.....
i like that extra boost truck how big one deal
ohh i forgot have a nice day and drive
There are no buttons on the steering wheel?
The man tipper looks like a 35t wagon which is not far off from an artic.
Saya suka trucknya, sangat indah sekali
I love me a man truck
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am going to the killarney historic
What does the "35" stand for on the tgs 35 420
not sure but i think that is the maximum tonnage the truck is allowed to carry
I drive the same MAN 35.420 and a Volvo FM 420 (2007) in a mine here back home ....

It's already 2021 and still FMX has a better looking than TGS?
Test drive the Iveco S-Way or the Iveco Stralis X-Way
What's the steering mechanism ?
No one:
Me: nice 👌🏽
I wonder how much horepower is lost before it gets to the wheels.. I reckon it's about 20% of all power
I think the system isn't permanent so not much power is lost
Stavros try scania 124L 360 scania 114 340 scania 114 380 ...
👍

Hey stavros can you do a test drive on LNG trucks in UK
The Steering Wheel Design is Similar to Indonesian Standard MAN TGS
Ireland taxes are cute compared to Indian vehicle taxes. I bought a €19K SUV and I payed almost €2000 in taxes 🤣
It all added up to €21860
About mercedes travego?????
900 euros per year?
needs liftable axles.
Front tyres need more air in them.
On my mother's life
Every old truck driver hate Automatic gear. we do not have any more fun with kids toys. Thanks
It's an old lay out..
M A N they haven’t change anything
3rd gearbox in 5 years says it all , awful gearbox , pull out on a busy roundabout with a load on and theres nothing and then it decides to go
Unimpressed with the tipping 'skills' !
So it turns out we now know how such expensive irish trucks are funded. Just don't turn on the reefer
