Long story behind that one. Much debated over many forums.  Suffice to say, had experienced handling probs due to weight distribution - or something like that.  I understand the "old" 34 is to be fully rebuilt before being made available for service elsewhere.  I think it is about 5 years old.

The "old" Kangarilla 34 is based on a 2003 Chassis, & was delivered to Kangarilla in June 2004.

Understand it will (eventually) be sent to a brigade on the flat lands.  I believe the (old) McLaren Flat 34 is in a similar position (which was in the same build as Kangarilla's)

I still find it interesting that of the 20 or so 34's from the Kangarilla/Mclaren Flat build, that only 2 have been soooooo bad that they can't possibly be used. They were all built the same, ah well, they got the outcome they wanted, lets hope these new one's keep them satisfied.

I don't think they were quite built the same...they were all meant to be built from the same plan, but after the first two, some issues related to weight distribution was discovered, and the original design altered slightly....at least, that was what we were advised of at a Group meeting...

Our 34 which is 4 almost 5 years old did have problems and has been back to moores for repair work still goes fine i must agree that it takes awhile to get used to the height and the swaying but it is a mtter of driving it and learning what it can or cant do.

The issue with the old kangarilla 34 was it was 650kg light over the front axle and was doing wheelstands on steep inclines :-o

That batch of 34 appliances was identical.

It was not light on the front end - it was to specification - CFS and Isuzu.

It is not possible to do wheel stands whilst going up hills. - from memory the issue was whilst going down a hill?

A weight was added to the front of the appliance and the brigades were still not satisfied.

It will be very interesting to see wether the brigade has the same issues with the new truck, then it might be saying something... as i have said before i know many people that have driven these trucks including moores employees and can not find the problem.
