After testing the new FH4 since january 2012 ( flic.kr/p/27YzbKK ), Guldager were confident enough to buy one and make it the new show-truck. The result was this vivid homage to Pablo Picasso. Previuosly uploaded photos show the truck from the right side with trailer ( flic.kr/p/27Yzcuk ), head on ( flic.kr/p/27Yzc7r ) and left side with trailer ( flic.kr/p/26T6Mfy ) – today’s uploads show the tractor solo from the left and solo rear view (left)

Going up the steep hill leading sw out of Aarhus past Viby and Stautrup. Underpowered and/or heavily loaded trucks often struggle here.

Tip: to locate trucks of particular interest to you, check my collections page, "truck collection" (www.flickr.com/photos/lavulv/collections/72157684190396672/ ) – here you will find all trucks organized in albums, by haulier (with zip-codes), year, brand and country.

Retirement age for trucks: many used trucks are offered for sale on international markets. If sold to a foreign buyer, this will not be listed in the danish motor registry, so a "retired" truck may or may not have been exported. In other words, the "retirement age" only shows the age, at which the truck stopped running on danish license plates.
