You loose out on the length of the trailer you can haul to.Do They add much In weight though? That Would Be then knocked off What You Could legally haul
They buy there trucks from A&M commercials who organise the conversion from a regular S to a T. Scania stopped making the T's in '05. This is their site

But it must run into big money cus a new S is dear enough without sending it to Holland to get it converted.

There must be some advantages to a long bonnet truck if you go by the Australians every truck is a long bonnet even six wheel tippers. But can't imagine it be easy to get into many farm yards with a meal blower or a milk tanker with a long bonnet in this country.aside from looking cool, is there any other point?
The S's do look very well, but a big price rise on the old R's. I'm still a 5 year old love the sight of well minded truck.Just my opinion but I prefer the S version, something a bit fake about converting them.
That said, since the age of 5 I still get heart palpitations at the sight of a well chromed up Peterbilt.
Easier access to the engine, maybe the are cooler in the cab for hotter climates as you are not sitting above the engine, i'd imagine they are a bit more comfortable as you are not sitting directly over the front axle, This one used be on the road when we were hauling beet to Mallow, wonder do they still have it.There must be some advantages to a long bonnet truck if you go by the Australians every truck is a long bonnet even six wheel tippers.

The longer wheelbase would also allow bigger fuel tanks which would suit the Aussie road trains.The longer wheelbase will give more comfort and an ability to take heavier loads more safely.
Afaik they do but only brought out on the odd occasion for shows or truck runs.wonder do they still have it.View attachment 62191
You won't beat a Volvo for heavy haulage.Isn't the reason there is very few bull nosed scanias about due to them being over length with a 45' trailer?
There's only one truck I'd want.:wub::wub::wub:

That I don't know, but if the longer wheelbase helps in stability when hauling heavy loads it must be a longer chassis, otherwise they just got it converted to look cool, and who wud do that???? They going loading blades on Monday mite try and get some photos if I've time.Is the chassis lengthened in that as well or did they just move the cab back
I saw a new FH16 750 today on personalised plates 191 L 750 at the Bandon Truck run, more pics here https://photos.app.goo.gl/A5VUGPnZkhfa3osS8
