I have always noticed different transportation systems and the European trucks have been one that I put at the top of the list. In more than thirty days and in six different countries I made a lot of observations. One that stands out is they don't do many things like they do here. Not saying that one is better than the other, just saying that we all get the job done but most of the time a little differently. Semi tractors are nearly always COE (cab over engine) style and very seldom conventional cabs like we have here. Very seldom will you ever see a tandem axle semi tractor and when you do the lead will be an air lift and not a drive axle. You will not see any makes that you will see here with the exception of Volvo. You will see Scana, Mercedes, Daff, Mann, and a few others but no Peterbuilt, Mack, Freightliners or Internationals. Most all trailers will be tri axles with single tires. The rear door lock latches are normally recessed and the King Pin will be located as to have the trailer as tight to the tractor cab as can be. What they will use for pneumatic trailers will also have a dump hydraulic cylinder as to only use one point of discharge. I also saw a couple of rigs that reminded me of Michigan Specials and each had a track loaded on it. Now I have no idea of what that pair of tracks fit but I will say what ever it was it was a healthy machine. Another thing a person will notice is there literally no pick-up trucks. I think we saw five in thirty days. Don't know why and couldn't get an answer as a lot of people didn't know what I was talking about.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
