Definitely not west coast. Pretty impressive hand. P.S. I am glad the you youngsters post this stuff... us old timers only have still photos to remind us of the old days. I worked with this old timer back in the 1970s gorge baumgardner...he used to say laddie, I come from the days when the rigs were made of wood and the men were made of steel. He must have been 60 years old and still throwing chain. Tough old guy.
Those trucks look just exactly like the ones we all used over there 50 plus yes ago, Could that be true? Million pounds of Iron on a gravel road at best with Planetary rears and Never enough HP under the hood for the operation, Rig Iron is HEAVY! and drags hard. I do miss that life, but i got old just like those trucks but unlike those trucks I can not be fixed or rebuilt LOL.
I used to work for Bill Jackson Trucking and rig company in Oklahoma City. We moved a couple of these rigs without taking them down this one is called a Cantilever As riggers on a crane crew loved it too because we didn't have to tear it all way down we got back to the yard quicker. We did it all over Texas and Oklahoma sure brings back memories
@@buckcheep thank you for pointing that out. I don't like putting false information out there and I appreciate your comment I hope you have a great day
@@wormpie4932 Yep, huge planetary hubs, front and rear. You can clearly see them in this clip. But I think that for trucks that large, that's the only way drive axles are ever set up.
Nothing changed. Santa Fe was doing this in the the 1970’s. Only difference is that then it was an expat walking in front of the 953, Now it is a local. Same 953, same idea of moving mast up with the sub base on bogeys. Same idea of moving prime movers in one piece. I think Santa Fe’s Sam Madley had a lot to do with the original concept and design.
Just saying...I'm a student in molecular biology and Biomedical chemistry and I find this much more interesting / wish I had the experience to get hired in this field. Haha Oh and mind you I come from a "ARRGGG BLACK GROUND GOO THAT POWERS ALL OF OUR ELECTRONICS AND MAKES MODERN LIFE POSSIBLE = PURE EVIL" state. Lmfao
You don't really need experience. You go to a trucking outfit and start as a swamper, which is a truckers helper. That's how you get the experience. You get thrown out to sling chain or whatever and if you have good work ethic, some companies will train you up to get your Class 1 or CDL, whatever the license is called where you're at.
@G55STEYR well at the speeds they are going, this is torque. My old W900 with an N14 Celect has around 1700-1900ft/lbs and 600hp. It is a beast. Are you saying if it was 1900hp and 600ft/lbs it would be better?
@@GolfSux At any speed is power, energy. They are geared so low that the engine is at peak rpm at 3mph in lowest gear. There are trucks with 1900hp wouldn't you say they carry more weight? To have 1900hp and only 600ftlbs the engine would have to rev to 16.631rpm so not very practical for longevity of a truck, but way faster. Exactly 3 times as fast until you get to speeds where the aerodinamic drag matters. If you cand climb something steep with 10mph you would go 30mph with the 1900hp engine
Lower gears will work , if they are not automatic transmission, it’s called compound 1 st gear, all wheels, kool thanks BigAl California praise Jesus grace Christ amen.

At 1:41 the front wheel jerks, did the axle break?

@@buckcheep yep you're right I was talking into a microphone I should have proof read it
@@unknownuser2737 hahaha, I do the same thing all the time 😂

@@unknownuser2737 You have a great day too!
How many people have had to shut down a rig move to check the air in the sub structure tires ! 🤠
Kenworth trucks are amazing
I guess the trucks are nicely geared to stop them killing themselves. Amazing stuff :o)
I'm going to guess they have planetary rear ends as well.
@@wormpie4932 Yep, huge planetary hubs, front and rear. You can clearly see them in this clip. But I think that for trucks that large, that's the only way drive axles are ever set up.
Think ratio drive wheels 15:1.

Guessing everything over there is sand ??? So yall can move the rig in whole?? In states peaces ??
rig moving nice
Check 2:42 and it’s written clearly
I've done these rig moves so nice not to have to rig down all of the way..

Wtf they have plenty of fuel, these should have 2000hp with 550 they barely move or stall
Bro, hp doesn't pull, torque does. These trucks are most likely running 2000+ ft/lbs of torque.
@@GolfSux Yes it does, because you pull at a certain speed and that's horsepower. What do you think hp is? It's torque multiplied by rpm

THAT KENWORHT PULLING POWER TRAILER . IT NEEDS REPLACE ENGINE TO GM DETROIT V12. 71, WILL BE MORE POWER THAN CAT 3408 FOR PULLING POWER TRAILER.
It would drive everyone crazy with the noise from the bloody thing!
