Log trucks and other forestry machinery in NZ!!! Special shoutout to : BEL logging Waimea Contract Carriers Heagney Bros Stuart Drummond C3 Picton Part 2 coming soon…
Hi mate I actually didn’t realise how fucked these guys do this game I’m from Australia I know live in Tasmania wow totally different gear all our stuff is all hydrolock I’ve been logging for 15 years wow 😮 seems backwards
Great filming. Great action. Unbelievably steep roads and a whole lot of machinery that I didn't know existed! Loved it all. Thanks for posting. Walking on the logs that were loaded on the ship looked like an extremely hazardous job.
It is! I was actually laughing while filming it’s a Chinese boat that one, so they would be Chinese. NZ has a very strict policy with health and safety
i miss it every day , the smell of diesel & pine you cant forget it , and then the urning of the windrows in the summer , justb magic !! nestled right in the kiangaro forest in reporoa
Love watching these kinda videos from around the world and seeing the difference in vehicles used. An example is I'm from canada and not used to seeing logging trucks with such short logs and the 2 short trailer system. But all trucks are beautiful and nice to see in operation. One of my first jobs was a welder and we would build the logging truck trailers and struts.
Cheers for watching Dylan! I appreciate you man. There’s also trucks that carry long ones they call them stem trucks here, although not many. The stem trucks deliver them straight to the mill instead of port for export.
@@donjaytv2088 thanks, I hope you start to include more manufacturers from around the world coz it would make your great videos that much better, looking forward to your future content.
shorts are for house studs , houses in NZ have 8-foot ceiling height, these pines are shit wood, need treating or they rot whilst you watch, where you are you have wonderful timber, spruce , cedar, these pines are only 20 to 25 years old at harvest
Great video. I love this truck. Unfortunately, I can only marvel at the truck in videos. We don't have such a big truck in Switzerland. Maximum 40 tons. subscribed. Greetings, George.
Yep steep country for sure did some brakeing out in koromiko a few years ago. I have a brother driveing for a logging company in Blenheim great vid bro tyvm for sharing.
@@rexamus75f54 hahaha I just told him about you just a few minutes ago, love your brother man he’s one of the coolest guys in his company. He’s in a Scania now he’s the one on 2:47 that drove pass that other truck with the crane.
Wow amazing logging truck,when i saw this vedeo i missed my father cause he also a logging trucker driver in my country phillippines for almost 20 years.thanks for sharing this interesting content vedeo here watching replay from saudi arabia.keep on truck'n.
Amazing video! Great images with big trucks in action! Awesome places! Good work, master! Mega Thumbs Up & Subscribe 🚛🚛🚛🚛👍👍 All the best from Romania Andrew
Great video. - Oh for the 'good ol' days' of the Pacifics and Hayes, - 100 ton+ on 1 truck, and they didn't bother with trailers either, mind you they weren't quite "road legal", but it's lovely to hear the ol' Jake Brakes still in operation - music to the ears. So good were the Pacifics etc. that if they can find one they tear them down and rebuild them. The KW does come a good 2nd though - bloody laws nowadays.
Western Forest Products stopped using theirs when they idled the Englewood forest railroad a few years ago, so a bunch have probably entered the market.
@@penskepc2374 Yes that was their only problem, with the loads they could, (and did carry), once you came to a highway you were too heavy to run on it. So your only option was either Rail-head, Lake, or off highway Mill. Still it's good to hear yet more are still running - hopefully.
Damn, some of theirs weren't in too bad a condition as they go. I've been looking for one to preserve. I managed to get hold of a very original (running) 50 year old Euclid 'Rock Truck' a couple of years ago. The truck body was full of spares as it was the last one owned by the man, and he thought it would just go for scrap weight, - I paid just over $8,000 for it which I didn't think was dear. Only snag was it cost me nearly that to get it home, - I live in the UK.
@@christopherlovelock9104 thats one thing I never got about the Pacific Northwest and BC, do they not log the same places often enough to have like a full permanent logging road systems? In Maine we have basically have a permanent logging road systems that ends at the dozens of different saw mills and paper mills and goes hundreds of miles into the woods so basically there's still a Giant off road fleet(our trucks have never been quite as gnarly as the BC rigs), but it seems like out west they're using a lot of highway going rucks now. Also, that Euclid sounds awesome! Such a cool thing to save.
@@penskepc2374 Only trouble with the Euclid is the amount of fuel it uses, - that, and the fact it's not quite 'road legal' in the UK, - so I have to trailer it to rallies. Anyhow now I have that I thought I might as well get a 'Pacific', trouble is it's going to take 2 shipping containers to get it back to the UK, and then it will have to be taken apart first. Unfortunately they don't make 10' wide shipping containers that will take it. - Perhaps i should collect 'matchbox labels' or 'cigarette cards' - much lighter and easier to carry, but if no one keeps an example for future generations they will be lost forever with only photo's to show anyone. A lot is already lost forever, - cars are far more popular and easier to keep, - plus the 'speculator market' is jumping on them, - unfortunately to some it's just about the "profit" not the history.
What are the models of trucks here?... those green cab overs are which model... this was so awesome to watch.... loved the scene where the trucks were slowly descending toward the bridge
Tidak bisa diragukan lagi truk buatan eropa memang kuat dan tahan dalam segala medan indonesia banyak menggunakan untuk proyek pertambangan loging kayu dan proyek gheotermal yg memang membutuhkan truk yg luar biasa ... terima kasih
..I worked on a skid sight in that area getting logs ready for those trucks...the company I worked for accidently burnt down $Ms of trees a few years ago....they were bloody cowboys...
Easier to climb steep hills as they have the weight on the back means more traction on tyres. If you just tow them then truck is too light to be towing the weight of the trailer chances of getting stuck would be high wet or dry, muddy or dusty. Once you get to the skid it’s easier to turn around and get in position to be loaded. Plus they don’t have to keep paying for trailer road charges. 👍
CTI. So that we can deflate the tyres with a push of a button for better traction off road especially if muddy, and then inflate it ones we are on sealed road (highway) hope it answers your question
Thanks for watching. No tyre chain just the CTI on tyres to deflate them when in off road and inflate them before going back to sealed road with a push of a button. 👍
The truck in the first clips better strap those logs down good. Since the front wall is too far forwards, if you slam on the brakes those logs will get enough momentum to slam the cab right off along with the front wall. However, buy a Scania or Volvo and you'll be able to load the same logs, just right up there at the front wall so the logs are unable to get any momentum and will be slowed down instantly when you brake. I also don't understand why you'd get a truck that has a cab mounted directly on the chassis since that makes for a much bumpier ride. Again, Scania and Volvo does this much better with their cabs sitting on air suspension. So you have air suspension between the axles and the chassis, as well as between the chassis and the cab, and then between the cab and your ass. All for your comfort. Edit: That was a nice little rick to load up the trailer on the truck, though. Harder for us since our trailers are too long (longer than the entire truck), but still.
I agree with bumpier ride, because if how the truck was built compared to euro trucks. That’s why a lot of them here(mostly old men) hate to drive them because they’re uncomfortable. However some like them because it’s “kenworth” 🤣
Ну не знаю. Сравнить с тем как в России древесину перевозят - 2 большие разницы. У нас осей меньше, длина автопоезда меньше, дороги ужасные, а груза везут больше. Может есть разница в разрешённых нагрузках на ось и контроле со стороны полиции. Этот вопрос не изучал. Но всё равно интересно. Опять же погрузить так же прицеп на тягач у нас не получится - выходишь за габарит и на первом же посту оштрафуют. Если чё - смотрим "белый мазай" ("white maz").
