Love those twin detroits! I want to hear it working! I lived at grandma’s house in md from age 2-4, I remember the early morning sounds of a detroit wound up and working, the smell of juniper and honeysuckle, and the fresh milk in the glass bottles with the paper tops in the cold box on the front stoop. I was up at the crack of dawn and would drain one of the bottles all by myself every morning.
I got to ride on one as a teenager. They where using it to cut a road over a mountain. One of the radiators had to be removed to repair they had to use a small crane to take it off.
@@charlesmccullough2386 Yes. Thats where we were sent for Heavy Equipment Operator Training. Dont know if its still like that or not. I was there in 1981.
I don't know the reason for splitting them but they did in Arizona. Ashton const. of Tucson az had one. That particular tractor was used in the film " Lilies of the Valley" operated by Sidney Poitier ( do I have that spelled correctly )
These guys are 30mins from me ,they have a Komatsu 575 on display, it was used on a coal.mine west coast south island New Zealand, I was short listed to operate one of these bout 15 years ago , they needed.3 operators for shift work on the 3rd 575 that was.being setup at the time ,Dozers were set up for remotes so if they fell into an old workings drive the operator could be.on the hill out of harm's way
@@wazza33racer in America without lowboy or beam trailer the load would never clear bridge or sign under passing. Also they are the only trailers that can haul major weight 13' 6" is max height.. if it's any higher extra special load permits are required with line trucks to move power lines etc.
Sure don't want a seat belt on this job! With no roll cage, loading overwidth on steel on a high trailer, your only hope is to jump if she slides off. On a low disconnect trailer, she would probably just end up cattywampus off the side, but on a high trailer, over she goes. A spine trailer would be good for this job. Outriggers with planks on the trailer would help. I've known of several fatal loading accidents, and personally seen some close calls. Always think about that when we drive by one nearby farm, previous owner died loading. In the US, they used to split these for weight and overwidth.
When this tractor was first sold back in the fifties, why did they have to separate it in two for transporting? Was it because of lowboy trailer design limitations for the time?
The weight of the machine is the problem back then I live in the US We have strict laws on overweight hauling and anything 13-6 high with our bridges specially on east coast
Those fold up ramps must weight a couple tons each . I ran D10 T a few years back and it was $8k to break down just cab & blade /cartridge then just short haul was $8 to $ 12 k so you don’t see them back in the yard very often . If I recall it was close to 200,000 lbs or 100 ton and the trailer was 9 axles including the two jeep trailers it didn’t take long for the novelty to wear off ripping solid rock 14 hrs 7days for 6 weeks , I think I pushed dirt for two days of 45

Wow , what a dozer! Didn’t know the existed, sweet!
Love this Euclid TC12. Saw one in Salem VA, in it's day, it was a monster dozer.

Great job loading guys. Was awesome to see it in action 👍
What a beautiful beast!
track gear looks done but still great to see these about
When I went through equipment operator training for USMC at Fort Leonardwood . We trained on a Euclid dozed, but I don't recall which model.
Fort Lenordwood?Army?

@@jefferydellinger7422 Yeah didn't know that.Guess I should have figured that since we had to go to Benning for jump school.Oorah
I thought i recognised the truck..
Took a moment to realise it is nz👍

Was that with Kaipara?
The Acco Super Bulldozer is the largest and most powerful tracked bulldozer ever made.
Fantastic dozer
It's so strange that other countries dont Use RGN's. How awkward to load big iron on these deck over trailers. Not to mention the center of gravity
What's an RGN?
@@garethifan1034
Look it up my friend! Its a removable gooseneck
@@johncholmes643 There are some in New Zealand, they are just not that common.
Cool machines 👍😎
Nice trailer 👌
What an excellent operator, serious ly a pro
Love those terex!
I remember my Dad operating one back in the 60's, probably on I-65.
Awesome 👌
I would of hauled that on a Beam trailer.. 😀
Or a low boy
I would tracked it
nobody in Australia or NZ uses "lowboy" trailers.......they would never handle our roads.

Or a Low Loader
And NO SAFETY BELT or roll cage. Am old enough to remember when men didn`t wear shorts on the job---especially around, or operating heavy equipment...

Kiwis mostly wear shorts year round.
not enough trailer.. wow
Only thing I could think of not enough axles
Trailer looks too small and light for this beast. Legal??
Absolutely or they wouldn't have put it on it. 3 rows of 8 tires on the trailer!
Well, Damn, I'm disappointed. I thought we were going to see it get split in two and loaded.
Getting loaded up where the New ETL Yard is now?
I remember the company Bakers construction

They had trailers to haul them whole back then

I expected the rusty ol' tracks on this diesel dino would make a lot more noise...I did not expect a sound track.
not everyday you see a semi low for RV transport loading a massive wide dozer
Common as fuck in New Zealand.
What happens if 1 engine fails? Does it drive in circles?
I priced having a D7 moved $5000. I would like to see the bill on this move. Lol.
Back when America was great!
Yeah, and it is worse after the orange headed clown fucked it even more.
So it's Euclid made by Terex? I thought I seen some parts on there that said Terex pluses are the same color? So is Euclid made by them
Euclid became Terex is my understanding.
I would not mind having that truck and trailer on my fleet5
Are Euclid and Terex related?
My understanding is that Euclid became Terex.
dam green weenie
no outriggers on the trailer? cops would throw the book at you in UK
Eek!
That wouldn't take much, over there. Hammer down, run it!
Sure, but this is in New Zealand and we have different rules to the UK.
they using it for work/ or nostalgia
Nostalgia
Totally wrong type of trailer to haul that 😯
I guess that’s the on,y one they had?
Why it's not as heavy as you think it is what detachable gooseneck cozad that trailer is just fine I've done worse
@@catskinner7564
It’s more about steel tracks on steel ramps, it’s like driving on ice
2:11 Totally wrong how the chains are not crossed either.
