Were all the Army 6x6 Macks put onto air bags ?

I want to know where the hay bales came from.

The vegetation doesn't suggest any hay paddocks around it.

I've heard that the front diff has to be removed, to rego them in civvy street as even unloaded the front axle is overweight.

Not in NSW. There are a couple of them running around here on full rego.

Being a bit of a farmer, my guess is that he is trying to encourage a few cows to come out of the bush, probably the only option as it doesn't look like motor bike country to me.

that would be a no, don't believe all the B.S. on social media

The front axle load is well within limits and doesn't even get a mention at rego time[/color]

Not hay, it's silage

Does a huge amount of hay and silage each year
