I know it sounds stupid, but I’m a driver also, and sometimes on my deliveries, I’m dealing with mud. I’ve had to throw my chains on to be able to get the delivery done. Maybe these guys should think about carry a set of triples
Ya know, that doesn't sound totally ridiculous... I've seen it done in wet mine sites on the heavy equipment, both for tyre protection and to add some extra bite... But I've never seen anyone chain up the drive wheels on a prime mover here. I wonder if it would be worth a shot. Surely someone out there has tried and it's probably just not worth the effort compared to hooking up a bar and getting an extra machine to haul it up. Still, I do wonder how much difference that would make. I'm super intrigued to find out if anyone has given that a go. I know some folks I'm going to ask. I don't think in that type of ooze you get out there it'd make all that much difference. But maybe 🤔
I've got a multi combination licence and access to a B-Double I drive to help out on my godparents farm during the busy times of year. I don't drive as a profession... But maybe they'll let me load up the Kenworth, chain her up and try getting it stuck. Actually... They're not gonna let me do that. But I really, really wanna try that now.
7:07 He can be lucky that this chain did not break. Why doesn't he have a chain on board that he knows 1) fits into his clutch and 2) is really strong enough? If I had to drive through a hole like this (and it doesn't seem to be unusual), I'd hook the chain to my front before driving into the water.
You must not have much for hills pulling triples with a tandem drive KW900, My first five years of off road trucking in northern Canada in the mid 1970s we used converted kw900 tri-drive 400 Cummins, duel transmissions main was a 13-under drive, 4-speed auxiliary. We were only pulling 70 ton and yet on many seconds we had a D9 cat walk us up and hold us back on the way down through the Mackenzie mountains.
The road train rated trucks in Australia, generally have very tall diff ratios making them be able to pull a lot. Tri drive trucks would give better grip in slippery conditions for sure, but 90% of the time, these trucks are on asphalt or gravel with decent grip. Triaxle drive trucks, would generally give less carrying capacity (gross combination) as in allowable payload because the tare weight of the truck is heavier. I see lots of tri drive trucks in Canada, but not as much in Australia, unless you're talking about mine spec quad road trains.
That's it, blame the cars that clearly weren't going through for you stuff up. Shows like this that over exaggerate the real world should be banned, and those that want their 5 mins of fame shamed in this country!!! The only serious pulling power is the driver of the truck.
I wouldnt have been going about 10-15 kmh faster then he was, the water does get carried up the side bank, making the road very slippery and soft. But they do dramatise everything just for the show. 😂
From what this 'Yank' has gathered from these videos of Australia, the vast majority of private and commercial vehicles in Australia, are powered by diesel engines, am I correct? anyone, everyone? I've subscribed several times to this channel and it keeps getting erased, can anyone advise me on that too? lol.
Toigh job but i don' t get it why someone whos experienced in outback trucking, has only a thin chain neither a strong pull bar on bord. Thats ridicilous like i don" t have a hammer with me as a roofer/ carpenter...
The guy that rescued him was a top bloke! Who would you trust gettin you outta a bog hole?
i'd trust turbo

what a relief to see truck drivers helping each other! Has anyone recently taken the CDL permit test in New Jersey? What was your experience like?
😂🤣👍💪. Good to see them helping one another.

Awesome adventure ride
Definitely was an adventure! Never a dull moment in the Aussie Outback

If chained up quite a bit and let me tell you it definitely helps bite in! But I usually only chain up in the snow.
In Austria, where we have frequent deep snow, trucks must habe chains on board from October to April.
Oi 💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👍

Some of the roads here are quite straight, long and flat.
Their KW's are actually slighter bigger the the normal highway versions in North America, it just doesn't look it.
Always someone that did it faster bigger and better

Hey old mate, you’d be surprised what we can pull with the tandem drives, majority of us are tandem drive.

16000 litres of what? "Black Gold" you've been watching too much beverly hill billies. Fuel is NOT black
it's called black gold because crude oil is usually black when extracted.
Seen it in drill core samples light green see through like coolant , probably where the myth it was remains of old forests came from
My Stiff Bar does not pull many trucks out of bogs.
It does its best work on the nest.
