    Catastrophic Ibis Tek tow bar failure; snapped like a twig.

    I assume I have the same for it's labeled the same weight limit. In the past I used my the full my APC 432 and had no problems. You all know the stress that's put on a tow bar pulling a tank but I'm in the weight limits.

    UK APC's/Tanks (FV432/CVRT) in States

    Normal max width is 2.5 meters. My FV432 is roughly 2.90 meters. I have the rubber pads on the tracks and though they leave a black foot print at every turn they seem to be wearing well. I have only 89 hours on the machine.

    You would think it would be less power, no? Like a 24 volt bulb hooked to a 12 volt battery.

    I would weigh the advantages of going it by your self or using a agent/broker/ dealer.

    M1009 Hard Start Problem

    I note your disagreement but my comment is based on ownership of the 5.7 olds diesel, the 6.2 , 6.5 GM, and the Isuzu designed for GM 6.6 diesel plus we in Europe and especially in Italia have been using diesel powered autos since the 60's. The electrical load going to the glow plugs must be...

    I drove my FV432 to Milan the first weekend of November cause I had problems with my trailer and all my "friends" with transport were busy. It was about 49 Kms. It was a experience I won't soon forget.

    M1009 Hard Start Problem

    Check the glow plugs but if you start changing them change them all. Never a few. Those you don't change will burn out soon after you add new ones. I learned the hard way

    Then one of the gas powered would suite you fine. Your problems start if you try to use it. Keep in mind the type of car the English made in the MG, triumph, jag and ect and you will see simularities in the FV432 series as in reliability, quality, and ease of maintenance. The MOD has released...

    Try it find out if they are gasoline or diesel powered. The gas powered are old and I mean old and under powered. I looked for 4 years before I bought mine and 6 grand must be a dud for that money. Be careful.

    If that's not bad what do you thing the Mercedes garage charged them to check and add if need be the anti freeze? I saw this invoice at €436,00. This is not changing but checking what's there and adding to bring it to -20 c spec.
