It almost seems a shame to put a load on it!I had a brand new Cat 730 on demostration a few years ago.Justlike the Volvo it looked too good to use.
We have`nt got any A25E`s yet.Still got the D`s.But we have some A30 & A40E`s new last year.I`ve driven a few makes over the years & i dont think you can beat a Volvo on any job or site conditions :)

Ive never driven one but had a day n an A25D we had on hire to us on a big top soil strip! Awesome bit of kit! Bit dodgy when the back end slips out though! haha

:offtopic: I should`nt really be saying this,but when your running empty on wet clay in pouring rain struggling for traction,you can get a good tail out slide just like an old Capri could :lol: :lol: Had some good(controled)fun on them when i was on the dumpers.
But i`ve also been on a job where we`ve had a heavy down pour,climbing up a long steep haul road with all diff locks on when i`ve come to a stop with all wheels spinning,& then started to roll back down the hill :o What made it worse was a A30D up in front did the same,& came down towards me.How we did`nt hit each other or tip over i`ll never know.We ended up side on on the road in the bunds & the A30D did 2 360 deg turns on the way down.We both needed a change of underwear after that :oops:

The A25D we had on hire was running on wet grass one morning and the driver gave it the beans coming down a bit of a hill and turned at the bottom and the whole bed kicked out! it was an awesome thing to see but quite scary too as they never look like they are in control! then there was the time it looked like it was doing a 6 wheel drift! That was awesome lol
