And then it's not even about the number of newtonometers, but in jewelry accuracy in the selection of transmission ratios of transmission and parameters of hypoid planetary mechanisms. Accurate calculation contributes to the optimization of technical characteristics, and ultimately the machine goes along the track easily, freely and with the least expenditure of fuel.
Tractors "Scania", according to buyers, this isIdeal means of transport for the delivery of goods to the destination on time and without loss. The owners' comments are benevolent. All of them unanimously note reliability and relatively low operating costs. The owners of cars believe that if there is a question of purchasing one or more saddle transporters, then it will necessarily be the Scania tractors.
