Re: New cat 740B
hello all.
Cat has missed the boat regarding to mirror design for transporting purposes on all the700 series,I personally think that the designers should take a close look at the volvo set up,the operator can virtually clean and adjust the mirrors from the cab,I am not ashamed to say that i have had numerous mirrors damaged during the time our company ran them even when they are turned in,And while i am up on this soapbox they are not very clever to load if you are on your own as there is nothing in front of the rounded bonnet that you can safely align to the back of the tractor unit unlike the volvo,s,just my humble opinion. .
