Who needs a stereo when you have those v8’s to listen to 😍😍

@JoseAntonio-pb7nd 2 года назад

Hands down my fav truck! When I started hauling scrap metal hitting the 125k lbs + I never looked back.

@neilcomiso3079 9 лет назад

Love the howling sound of the Mack air-starter.

@oldridersteve217 4 года назад

Can't beat the Australian Mack's. Beautiful tractors. Mack North America has seen better days. Nobody wants to run them anymore.

@flydieselair 5 лет назад

I was a mechanic at Cummins Ontario in Toronto in the 70s but I tell you I just love those Mack V-8s.

@bionictrucker1 12 лет назад

Man, it's been a long time since I've heard an "air starter" truck here in the States! That was cool!

@oldstudbuck3583 3 года назад

First time I heard an air start was the mad max movie

@Borismolotov Год назад

Mighty Mack's engine sound is honey for my ears.

@josephsloppy6750 7 лет назад

remember mad Max road warrior? it had a nasty bad to the Bone r model mack . mack truck rule

@gm16v149 11 лет назад

Yes, air start. Macks used to be 100% air start in Australia. You can still option air start on heavy-duty Kenworth.

@bro5800 5 лет назад

I love the sound of the start. I remeber every time my father started the truck people around us just jumped up of fear. Thank you for bringing lot of memories back.

Nice '89 Superliner. Drove same thing ('91) for a while. Can't beat the sound and performance of the old V8.

@danielkennedy7845 5 лет назад

And the Titan!!! v-8 what a machine!

@davidmonro3270 Год назад

I first saw a Mack after the war. They were N.R. 10's and were used in the timber industry. They were the greatest and carried this country for many years. Most were supplied by L.J.Gleeson of Wingham N.S.W. He used them to excavate the Inner Harbour Port Kembla. Probably the best collection of N.R.'s are at Cleary Bros. Port Kembla. They were the most.

air start sounds perfect

@rad3766 12 лет назад

Some real bad-ass lookin rigs you guys run down under.

@gm16v149 11 лет назад

Cheers, yeah, most trucks on long haul in the top end hold 1500 - 2500 liters plus sometimes a trailer belly tank of another 1000. Mainly because fuel is so expensive once you leave the city and with 3 trailers @ 120 tonnes gross you will only get about 1 km/liter which is 2.3 miles per US gallon.

@toothpik206 13 лет назад

Can I get a temperary license so I can come over and play a bit..HAHAHA..Great vid,keep um coming

@mikewhipkey6863 5 лет назад

I like the road train set up a lot of skilled drivers there! Over here in the US it's a fuckin miracle if the glorified steering wheel holders here can manage 1 trailer!

@982berti 2 года назад

It’s because in Australia there’s no driver shortage. Companies can hire the most skilled drivers or they can train the rookies very well.

@mikewhipkey6863 2 года назад

@@982berti there is no driver shortage here it's just anyone with experience and a brain owns there own trucks.. if there is a shortage it's with the big companies because they don't want to pay anything

@whearstanley8288 7 лет назад

It's crazy to see such convoy

@gm16v149 11 лет назад

Most of the road trains use a German-made 50mm Ringfeder coupling between the dollies and trailers, and a 2" or 3.5" Jost or Holland turntable on the truck/dolly.

These trucks look and sound awesome. If I ever visit Australia I would skip the Sydney Opera House for a ride in the prime mover of a road train! (Still want to climb the harbor bridge, mind you!)

@gm16v149 11 лет назад

Yes we are busy at the moment, haven't had much time to upload new videos, but I've taken plenty of footage so I will upload soon. Anyone from Europe would be amazed at our triple trailer roadtrains in real life.

@McFearsome2 13 лет назад

@gm16v149 you are probably right about that... i haven't been to my local mack dealer since i changed employers (i had a really nice CH that was serviced by mack, mostly at beresfield but also in bris. until it caught fire and burnt to the rims...). so i dont know all the latest info... the volvo/mack amalgamation sounds like its progressing nicely...

@sheacole2 7 лет назад

nice E9 on the 2nd clip

@gm16v149 11 лет назад

I use 2" double-row Jost ball-race turntables. They generally use 3.5" on triples and quads. The Ringfeder couplings on the dollys are all 50 mm though.

@WesternStar4900SA 13 лет назад

@gm16v149 12 лет назад

They helps stop stone chips in the windshield. Road trains going the other way kick up plenty if they drop off the edge, some of them have got 4 trailers with 86 wheels.

There are more cubes in a V8 than a six, and as they say there is no substitute for cubic inches.

@Ghostrider2999 11 лет назад

those air starters sound awesome, they don't do so well in the cold, but i would definitely bring one of these trucks to the USA.

@mr7badass 14 лет назад

@Mechknight73 11 лет назад

Some road trains in Australia push the gross mass to 150, sometimes more tonnes. The longest ones are in Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, where up to four trailers are allowed on public highways. Three of those trailers are usually full length, with a fourth half length

@gm16v149 11 лет назад

Highway trucks these days usually have 10 stud alloys, but roadtrain trucks and trailers still often use spider type wheels because it is easier for changing tyres. Probably overall 50/50 spider/10stud in new trucks/trailers.

@MrKenwortht908 14 лет назад

Great video very nice trucks like see some more videos like that.

@mackjack525 14 лет назад

My kinda video Chris, great work mate !!

@Mechknight73 11 лет назад

It used to be Kenworths you saw the most of in Australia, but that's changing. Freightliners and Western Stars are growing in numbers. There are some Macks around, but they're not the commonest make. Even euro trucks such as Volvos are getting a bigger toehold on the market here

@gm16v149 13 лет назад

@atmbcool Macks had them as standard in Australia up to a few years ago, they are more robust than electric but you've got to maintain them.

@LeMagnum440 14 лет назад

Chris you are the man. This vid is the bulldogs dangalies. Keep them turbos whistleing.

@ottlmr 13 лет назад

now this was a great video

@gm16v149 14 лет назад

@CreRay Yes that's my truck at 0.45. The 4 trailer, 22 axle (86 wheels) road trains are the most common roadtrain for Shell & BP fuel in the N.T. They are a B-train + 2 trailers and 2 dollies. The one in the vid is 2 B-trains joined with 1 dolly, so it's smaller than normal. The trucks are tri-drive (3 diffs).

@cat977loader 13 лет назад

Great stuff, you guys in Australia move some big loads, would love to see what them D.O.T. guys would say if they saw those on the interstate over here in the states,lol. wonder if they'd pull out those lil portable scales,lol. keep'em coming!

@EarlRausch 11 лет назад

thanks for the great video ! I did note that the steering wheel is on the wrong side :) I love the air start it sounds great. We have a few air starts here in the US. I saw that you carry a LOT of fuel i guess it is due to the great distance you have to drive. Anyway just wanted to say hey from a fellow driver here in the US.

@gm16v149 11 лет назад

The old V8 Macks had up to 610 HP but they don't make V8s any more. The new Macks have either a Cummins Signature or a Volvo-derived engine, both of which can be over 600 HP. A 3 trailer road train is 53.5 metres long max and a 2 trailer road train is 36.5 metres max.

i would like to drive one of these titans !! grat trucks i love macks

@gm16v149 13 лет назад

@phillycent100 Not sure about a car licence but a truck licence you would have to start from scratch.

@gm16v149 11 лет назад

Inline sixes are the most popular in Australia just like America, but there are still a lot of V8 Macks around (and the odd V8 Cat)

@gm16v149 13 лет назад

@cat977loader They've got portables over here too, but the full size quads have got 22 axles so they're not that keen to use them, especially if it's 120 deg outside lol. The Shell tanker in the vid is a "double B-Double" so it's only got 19 axles. Usually Shell and BP run 22 axles up there.

@JamieMcF1967 14 лет назад

Awesome vid!! While the new stuff is great it does pale a little compared to the old Superliner at the end :-) Also nice that u finished with a local Adelaide Valueliner lol

@gm16v149 13 лет назад

@kennjohnsen We generally use 45' trailers but fuel trailers are shorter, as long as max length of road train is 53.5 meter max.

@baldymp3 13 лет назад

@kennjohnsen we dont generally run big sleepers over here due to length restrictions. the lengths are as follows - single trailer 19 m (62.3 ft), 2 trailer 36.5 m (120 ft) and 3 trailer 53.5 m (176 ft). These are all maximum allowable lengths. If we ran large U.S. style sleepers we would need to use shorter trailers to meet the requirements.
