K-700

[d.]

Is this vehicle actually useful? Why not use the crane ?

Probably not, because you have to "load" the logs into a valid log carriage for them to count toward a lumber mill's log points.

Been there - done that.

Short logs are no problem to transport because they are not much wider then the vehicle - didn't hit a tree once. (Forgot to make a screenshot on the road.)
But 2 short logs are not enough to load a truck and logs disappear when you go fetch another 2, so i had to do the trip 3 times...

i had different experience. when i load the short logs with the k700, all you need to do is click the button twice, and it will spawn four of them, so you can load truck fully with just one go. (once to load the truck, and once to load the trailer.
hope that helps

I find this truck to be brilliant for loading logs, until you try to load up a large load. Jesus christ they slip all over the place and always end up drooping on one side, meaning you can't lift them high enough to get on the truck.... Needs some tweaking, whilst loading the logs feel like they're made of plastic and weigh nothing at all

Yeah the controls are not to good with a mouse and keyboard.

Yes you can spawn 4 small logs, 3 medium and 2 long ones. I do this every time since I always try to grab them all in bulk.

It's the best truck in the game to annoy everyone around you. Your GF, your kids, your parents, your pets.

Yes, now i know this, too, but i had to learn it the hard way.
Spawn 2, bring them to saw mill, realize i need 4, go back, spawn 2, bring them to saw mill, realize other 2 are vanished, go back, spawn 4, bring them to saw mill and finally finish my endeavor.

Faster loading, and easy to save other trucks with it.

I prefer to nickname it "the Yellow Submarine". For shape and it's thriving in water.
Finally this thing got some use.
I've got hang of it's loader fairly quick and fun to use. In every co-op play I end up using it because for some reason for me it spawn in random far more often than D535.
It's a fine trick to pick logs one (or if you dare two) worth of load and just carry it ot the objective and dump it there on ready truck.

This is great. Yea one of my problems with the K-700 is the engine/turbo sound doesn't loop/mesh well or whatever the term is. It clips and resets etc.

In general though, I've only used this thing once. It REALLY bothers me that it drives the wrong way for the way it looks. The thing looks like it should be a standard front loader design. The forks should be the front. So I constantly am confused while using it. Fo--crap no backwards.. okay now go.. nope.. backwards.. k backwards DAMMIT no forwards.

Also it can just be a little tough getting the logs high enough to clear the trailer forks depending on the terrain you are loading on.

You can also use it to carry the jeep

Ahaha, like a little baby!

I managed to catapult fellow co-op player's A968m, but too bad - recording software been disabled. At first, I tried to just lift it. Of course multiplayer physics interaction won't let me do that. But at the same time claw's hydraulics built up tension. When I was about to free his car, tension released and multiplayer physics kicked in thank to ping - while my claw rose up, game was thinking that I still have a grip on car and hastily tried to compensate that by dragging car upwards. It almost touched wires on nearby utility pole.

Idk all i use the K-700 for is if i get myself stuck in water or something. Loading logs can be done a lot more pleasant by leaving a loader verhicle with a crane at the log kiosk.

I usualy drive 2 trucks with medium logs in convoi and get them loaded up in less than 5 minutes.
