Title: FC Site
Post by: Jeffy on January 22, 2011, 06:35:32 PM: Found this cool FC site. For those who don't know FC stands for Forward Control. They were built on the CJ-5 and CJ-6 chassis.

Ah, OK! MB is considering doing that with electrics. I think the problem with the old way of shafts is that it makes the hook up overly complicated, expensive and the trailer is incompatible without any other tractor.
