I ran a bus service from Victoria to Bamfield transporting west coast trail hikers in the late 90's. Those Mac Blo off highway trucks were bloody huge...the roads were often just barely wide enough to get out of their way!
Awesome vid, my pops drove em all too, the 5 axle set up is definitely the way to go in the west coast steep country. When I was a young fella Dad had a 1974 hd Hayes, hauled a lot of off hwy with ten foot bunks in ol Hazel, he also had a 1984 mack, Maxine "the big black bitch" with ten foot bunks also, it had the 865cid v-8. Dad drove off highway up north during the winters on ice roads, was number one truck for Triple c for a number of years in Squamish and He also drove the big iron 12s 14s 16s for Powell Daniels, Russell Lily contracting for about 12 years which eventually became Hayes logging i believe...
Dad was a wild one for sure, he was a good trucker, he used to slack one trailer brake off to about 30% in case the brake locked up on the ice or dynamited for some reason the trailer would still follow the tractor instead of dragging it off the road.. God speed pops! I miss you!!
These look like 12' bunks on the logging trucks , in the 1970's I ran a Tank Drill drilling / blasting rock to put in New Roads for the trucks to haul out of the bush to the log dumps and booming grounds - The had HAYES - PACIFIC P 16 - 12 ' & 14' bunks . Euclid 85 Ton Rock Wagons with bunks 16' to 18 - Huge Loads close to 150 Tons of Wood - all the other trucks would sit in a by pass while these Monsters came out of the Bush with a 2 to 3 per cent down hill grade - this was across from the top of Vancouver Island - logging camps of Namu and Nikite - Huge dry land sorts where a Big Yellow cedar 5 ' to 6" ft on the butt - the Cash Buyers would pay $8000 for this One Log - that would be made into furniture in Japan - Huge self loading log barges would load the logs and take them across the Pacific Ocean to Asia - Not Many Big Trees anymore - now there is Helicopter Logging - Sikorsky Sky Crane = GOOD OLD DAYS
In my 41 year in camps, we had these trucks, did tune ups on 71s 92s, even did a swap to a Cat 3412, changed many a trans, diff, planetaries, on KW, Mack, Hayes, Pacific , Challenger even a old Euclid, all were basicly the same except the Euc, They were given many nicknames, Honda, 2 stroke joke, barky, green leaker. Even have a picture of a 3 log load, all from the same tree. Even had to 10 and 12 foot versions, first 5&4 I ever got to shift in a 12. Lots of good memories, sore bones. Coast Powertrain did many a Allison, Clark diff for us. Now all this stuff is sold off to Indonesia i brlieve.
Well a truck with just one 4 axle trailer with the bunks out to side would probably be carrying just rough estimate but would say around 65.00it's to 70.00 kgs the trains just add for every trailer it's heavy and only reason they can do it is they own the road benefet of logging mill having it's own roads no load restrictions only other people driving them would be forestry workers and fisherman hunters but the milk also has trucks coming in the hwy system where you can only haul 63.500 kgs on 5 axle or btrain
While we all know the buzzer dozen was a strong old motor it is much more likely that these big tractors were using the 1710 Cummins v 12 or the 1786 v 12 cat motor to pull these kinds of crazy wood loads
That third log from the right is the one that made the boards for my kitchen wall. Sweet. Looks like the design philosophy for the trailers was. BIGGER!
I like how all of the smaller or regular logging trucks were bringing some large loads, then out of nowhere here comes the Pacific, Challenger or Hayes, whatever slowly grunting up the hill with a whole forest on it's back. Those purpose-built logging trucks are no joke.
Okay but can we appreciate how the other trucks were going with some pretty impressive sized loads, and then that pacific rounds the corner looking like a road train got lost and found it’s way into Canada somehow
I would like to find more video and picture of this old Pacific truck. I was at Mistassini when Domtar was there and those truck always facinate me...3 trailer...6 hours for 1 only trip...
This drone footage is absolutely stunning! 🚁😮
The wood is like hair on the back of a dog Or what we call it on Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada Pecker Poles
Epic truck wow

You can hear the old Detroit diesel doing what they did. Great job

The proves how horrible Saber did to display the capabilities of the P16.

Got to be 200 plus tons on with 3 trailers
They wold have put more on but they ran out of forest.
Is that a 235 or 245?
That’s a Washington and is like the first buncher but what is the 2nd yellow one?
❤❤❤❤
Wow the most powerfull truck,just respect....
Great video but I have to think that even a small rain shower would cause the Pacific to spin out on those hills!
What would the gross combination weight of the triple be??Somebody please tell me.
750,000 lbs
Какая же мощность у этого мака
12v71 detroit and 12v 92
Thats like 10 truck loads these days and still be overweight lol. Love them old trucks
Screaming Jimmy love it sounds Million Bucks😟😃😁😎👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🍺👍

still, most of them still got that detroit
That big blue Pacific at the end was absolutely amazing and off the charts, ridiculous really
Three trailers loaded to the tits ,really so impressive period, out if this world

The difference in drivetrain specs and gear ratios is far too massive to compare the regular trucks to the specifically built ones.
Okay but can we appreciate how the other trucks were going with some pretty impressive sized loads, and then that pacific rounds the corner looking like a road train got lost and found it’s way into Canada somehow
Anyone know what happens to this truck? Still in service?
Yes most deliver for Amazon nowadays!
@@LRGDuran hahaha i cant tell if yer jokin or not but its funny....
@@25439 i would love to get my packages from a pacific logging rig 😎
@@LRGDuran true that!
So how much weigh on the triple trailer
Target gross, 750,000 lbs
WoW
Wow, Australia has massive roadtrains , but these logging trucks make ours look like matchbox cars🤣🤣
It’s along shot, but we only gotta get one.
I used to haul at least 550 thousand pounds and more every load of redwood off highway"
I would like to find more video and picture of this old Pacific truck. I was at Mistassini when Domtar was there and those truck always facinate me...3 trailer...6 hours for 1 only trip...
Decent loads! I like it!
pacific mack?
snowrunner brought me here.. lols
Why are there no more Pacific, big trucks...no more, virgin wood? Maybe emissions, got to crazy? Those...were definitely, the days.
I want this job.. Pm me
3:50 Imagine trying to back that into a spot.
Correct me if I am wrong, but a tiny v12 Detroit could not pulled that monster load up those hills, a Cummins-ta 1710 at least no ?
Al Speers .a v12 Detroit can do that job for sure
These outfit s were ridiculous in size, power and retarded capabilities, insane
Amazing, but ya the drunk guy filming the the massive Pacific
pacific p12?
Just came on these videos you guys are the greatest these trucks are unbelievable the tonnage you are putting on them and they want some more. Cheers
It's not big enough
Nice to see some older footage of these trucks.
This is like an 1hour of where a live !
Lot of sticks on there
