Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Equipped with Dais hefty 12.6-litre engine the CF85 is always going to struggle lo match the lightweight brigade al the weighbridge, but if it's periormance you're after then look no further — ultra-payload conscious operators best opt for the more modestly endowed CF75. CF85 eightwheeler is available in three power outputs (340, 380 and 420hp) with the 380hp unit the pick of the three for 32-tonne aggregate operations. Oaf engine brake is a major plus point, though it requires high revs to ensure best performance.

The multi-wheeler has been developed with the UK in mind so, despite straight beam front axles giving the CF85 the ground clearance for off-road work, on-road behaviour isn't compromised. offering drivers a comfortable working environment. The cab offers strong build quality and decent comfort levels with an easy to clean layout.

r: Extremely flexible engine line-up Well arranged cab Not in the ultra-low weight class VERDICT Though not the lightest in the sector, CF85 scores high on performance
