Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

The CF75 line-up is an impressive one, stretching from the 4x2 drawbar chassis right the way up to two-axle distribution tractors. Along the way it includes three and four-axle rigids with a multitude of axle configurations including pusher. tag and double-drive options. Its ninelitre engine is rated at 250. 310 and 360hp and comes with a choice of eightand nine-speed manual boxes, along with the latest AS-Tronic auto. For Euro-4 this engine will use SCR technology and receive a torque boost.

For mixer and tipper work Oaf's 26-twine CF75.360 is heavier than rival 6x4s with six-litre lumps. but it offers good productivity with its 'bigengine working lazy' and decent tare weight. It's also delivered good economy on a CMroadtest. However, the lightweight 360hp eight-legger is probably a more acquired taste and best left to tanker and block/brick carriers searching for maximum payloads. Most mainstream tippermen will opt for the 12.6-litre CF85 8x4.

The CF cab comes in day. sleeper and Space Cab variants and is popular with drivers thanks to its good ergonomics and attractive finish.
