That's a good looking truck! Do you like the exhaust coming out under the truck or would you rather it was a stack behind the cab? Seems like it would be annoying when working around the truck especially when on a dirt surface.
exhaust out the side allows a lower height limit... If your walking around the side of the truck, while the engines idling, it's not emitting many fumes... Exhaust stacks can stain the tops of the trailer and when parked up, it's common for the stacks to gather water. Then causing spots to appear on the trailer as the engine roars into life pushing the water out over the trailer etc...
HM, First what a gorgeous machine. So here in the US, MACK, and Western Star will build you a 4 or 5 axel (w/2 steers) heavy haul for dump, or logging operation. Is that how this one started as a heavy dump frame, and KW set a cab on over the engine? Or is this something they're actually bringing to market? I often think that extra steer axel would help the Tesla truck to hold more batteries, and pull more weight. Thanks for your time.
Fab truck! I live in a part of Ireland, which is very milk intensive. That is large farms with big dairy heards. Lots of milk collection. You see many trucks on the road 7 days a week. Six axel trucks. Often farms are not easily accessible. Amazed at the skill of the drivers. Your nine axel would not be ideal. What hp/kw is it producing? What is the transmission?
This unit does factory trans ships for Fonterra who does the milk pick ups from the farmers. Most Fonterra units have 4 axle trailers making them bit smaller compared to the 5 axle trailers. Farms in New Zealand that do require pickups are usually easy to manoeuvre, metal tracks, turnaround bays, lighting etc. This unit has automatic transmission. Engine specs says it ranges from 525hp to 565hp not sure on the exact number. Thanks for watching
Nice shots, pretty countryside and good looking rig. The driver seemed to be going through curves a little faster than typical trucks. Does the 4 wheel steering allow faster cornering, or is this just an effect of the camera angle etc.
As far as I'm aware the second steer doesn't make much of a difference for faster cornering. Driver does have a lot of experience on this road as it's on it most days.
@@haulinmedia 2nd steer axle eliminates a bit of tramming from experience... Having the tanker combination rather than a higher center of mass like general freight curtain sider stops the yaw n roll effect, giving a more stable steady corning speed. However, the K220 going through the Gorge and North of Urenui shows the foot control of a good operator...Coast up to then power out of a corner...
Thanks for the info guys, There’s no substitute for experience. We never see 4 wheel steering on trucks here in North America, do see multi-axle steering on large hydraulic cranes (mounted on road chassis).
What power train does this truck have and output, I’ve seen this type of combination many times in N Zealand ..Personally I would prefer a Scania S650 or 770 with the V8 being an incredible engine for hill climbing …
@@smartliving4464 All to do with generic parts,parts like seals and bearings you can get from any auto shop...same in the States,Napa stores everywhere!
How much milk can it carry? The tanks are not massive so I am guessing that there must be some restrictive axle load rules in this area to justify spreading the weight over 9 axles?
Beautiful rig...congrats! But, like all KW / Peterbilt drivers the world over....you love blinding the sh*t out of every body all day & night long...

Now that's what I call a sweet ride 👍👍So is this a factory job or a conversion? What's the engine/tranny in there? Didn't think NZ would be the place to need 8x4 unlike the road trains you see going across the Aussie outback 😎 Gotta appreciate these old school big rigs - they're slowly going away. New trucks like the Western Star 57X, while modern and better on fuel, simply just don't look as impressive or as cool as these things. I guess the cherry on top would be a massive bull bar up front 💯
The 8x4 combination is very common on New Zealand roads, used more here than in Australia. Engine is Cummins X15 with Automatic transmission. Thanks for watching.
@@haulinmedia ....i trust, you meant to say "....X15 with a computer-controlled manual transmission" (the ones that sound like the driver knows how to work the virtual clutch, from the neat shifting sound it makes when you stand outside the unit while its pulling away at a green light ...LOL.)
