Dollytrolley Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 One of the huge Tillamook Dairy Co-op farms from the North Oregon Coast has a stunning fleet of Metallic Emerald Green hay-hauling Argosy tractors with matching 44 flats and 28 pups all decked out with gold trim and lettering ..........(Ok Tillamook cheese is spendy..... but look at the trucks....) We were driving from Bend to Salem over the North Santiam pass on a perfect summer day a couple weeks ago and one of the Emerald Argosy's glided past us just out of bend loaded high with 4,000 lb bales and three more Emerald Argosy's were cinching straps at the Hoo Do Summit and we met two or three more empty Emerald Argosy's headed East bound back to load out with more hay......... To top that off we met two gun-metal metal-flake interstate Argosy gas tankers w/ pups with all of stainless polished like a mirror........ With all the Argosy's gliding up and down the stunning snow capped Cascade peaks the wife remarked it was sorta like a two-hour IMAX Argosy commercial............all the other trucks sorta looked like..................plain ole trucks........... Drive on............( What a view........no hood in the way) 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noteven Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 How hard is it or possible to get one like that sweet DAF shipped to the US? Seems like the RV hauler's dream! You can ship your Scania and trailer for a CanAm tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRbo61h2ow8 "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever.

Scrap Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Costs about $18K to get an XF over here by boat and it pushes near $100K to get one over here on two airplanes. Some assembly required.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some assembly required.... At least you know where to find a few folks that can help you with the assembly, Scrap.

Phil D Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I thought that maybe you knew a few guys at work that would know something about truck assembly. Now I'm half afraid to drive my T2000! Maybe the Kenworth hands in Ohio are more knowledgeable and better qualified. <crossing fingers> Phil 2002 Teton Royal Aspen 2003 Kenworth T2000 - Cat C12 380/430 1450/1650, FreedomLine, 3.36 - TOTO . . . he's not in Kansas anymore.
