Ec 450

[Rockbreaker]

Hey all..

From 95 to 01 i worked for a large company in Norway and was operating ackerman 420 first and then 2 Volvo 450.
Worked in many large jobs all over Norway and loved it,but there where some problems with the 450.
Many oil leaks,cylinders leaking,electrics and some more

But i loved the comfort in the cab and it had good capasity when loading trucks and ADTs.

Are there any of you guys who have any experience of driving this model and what do you think of it.
And of course i found some pics of it on the web:eek2

I like those built in steps in the side of the frame, no one ever does that now, good place to stick your empty coffee cup after you are done with it!

And that was the one thing you liked best Ron????

All positivity is a good thing i think. That will help you many times for sure,and if you dont have to think about where you can drop your coffe cup after done with it you must be off to a good day:dizzy:yup:dizzy

And Peter i do agree that it was a good machine with great comfort.
Hours could pass by like a pretty lady on the beach
