CF85.410 for me.

The FMX has been really slow uptake in the quarries round here. I don’t know if it’s a lot more money than a stock FM, but the standard one is a lot more common even in the areas of work the FMX is designed for!

I think the standard one is cheaper and lighter…it may wear out quicker than the FMX but it will make more money over its life so why have the FMX?

Be interesting to see the Euro 6 CF tippers when they come out…will they do a rufty-tufty one to compete against the FMX and Arocs?

The older shape CF came in “Construction Spec” for tipper work which was kind of the same thing but without shouting about it, they came with the suspension raised slightly, a massive steel undertray to protect the steering, and the front light lenses were made out of the same material they use in bullet proof applications to help protect them. Also think they came with a lot of equipment ready for the various uses (Tippers, Cement, Blocks ect) in the off road sector.
