I worked up by Sprit Lake before St Hellens blew up and remember the 12 foot wide KWs with water cooled brakes. 1973 about.

Is that what all the steam was from? I was wondering.

Cool! No pun intended!

@@patrivard9229 ya they spray the brakes to keep em from burning up and losing grip

Trucks in the Philippines still use water to cool their brakes.

So a combined 175 tons is what the trucks were still comfy with. 175. Seriously? That's literally 100 honda civics. Absolutely mental.

@@whotf888 Not mental. Just efficient.

Notice the WFP on the door of the one truck. I worked for Crown Z when they were still around in Kokish. Moved up to Smith inlet with Weldwood later on. Heavy machinery for heavy wood ;)

Awesome to hear from a dude who was actually there. Thanks!

Can you prove?

Ahh, no, AC/DC cranked up... I hate country music. Besides, the manufacturer always had rock music playing...these trucks used to Rock and Roll from birth...lol.

Snowrunner is such a fun game.

I agree..the kingpin is one of the most impressive pieces of hardware I've ever seen..lol

@@thetruthspeaker1978 I just watched a vid where a Volvo semi truck pulles 750 tons, those pins really are extremely impressive

@@bmad1386 definitely not Chinese steel..😂

Its the tiny chains securing the logs for me.

The hitch pretty much only steers the trailer. The logs themselves are the trailer

Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. I hauled a one tree load once. I live where the big ones are all gone now. Some of that equipment isn’t tied down. We lost a big cat hauling that way once. Would love to haul for a day in one of those trucks. Would love to pull a big cow train in Australia too.

I have seen spruce big enough around i needed two chokers to get around the butt

What they log now are not much bigger than fence rails

Nice trucks. I always had a soft spot for a Hayes HDX with 14 foot bunks filled up way over the cab

I had one pull up behind me at a stop sign once . I was driving a Ford one ton 4x4 with factory box , could see daylight between my tailgate and the bottom of his front bumper . I think I recall him having 14.00 x 26 tires . This was a patch pounder , not log truck

I'd love to see these return. So simple and indescribable

These and the big Hayes trucks, absolute beasts

I actually love the look of these trucks.

Function before form. These trucks are literally rebuilt over and over. Raw steel at its best

Were? They still are. No modern logging truck comes close to their pulling capacity

@@chaselaurence8783 Very true though. Those classic Canadian logging trucks have been fantastic since the 1970s!

​@@chaselaurence8783especially if they soup up the engines for better torque

Loads of stories of people driven off the road by these, even a few deaths. At the end of the day the roads are owned by the logging companies - if you're going up logging roads for w/e reason do it on off hours.

Ağaçların bu konudaki düşüncesini bilmek isterdim. Haha

I'm sure if you go a bit further northwest you'll see more of them. They might have some of these at Forks.

@@username8644 Thanks for the tip.

Used to see these up in the NW corner of Alberta/NE Corner of B.C. when there were rig moves into that area to re-start gas drilling, around 1978-80. Lots of Bed/Winch trucks being used for the rigs; there were areas where there as logging going to extend roads or clear lease areas, Pacific and Hayes both. I caught a lift with one logger after a breakdown. The fellow had a classic B.C. Coast logger setup, water tank, "V" shaped headache rack, etc. It did have one unusual thing - a 13 speed backed by a 4 speed,. 5 and 4 was common on the oilfield bed trucks. Used to see lots of Hayes and Pacific trucks when visiting family on the Island, or up the mainland coast. Real monster rigs, and at that time they were working them hard. Not so many now.

The P16 stock had Detroit V12 power and a Allison 6 speed auto, the P12 had the 5/4 or 18's, Changed many a Detroit, or Allison, first job was on a grease pit at CanFor, changing oil, grasping, then on to brakes, we tugged our guts out on a greased hunk of steel to pulled the duals, it's strained out milk let me tell you, big stuff. There were Hayes HDX, Kenworth, Pacific and Mack, all with the V12, Alison combos, still operating, most of the Macks went to South America. Husby still runs a few.,

​@@johac7637Canfor on the island? Worked for Crown Z in Kokish, next door to Canfor, Beaver Cove. Great country and good times.

@@alsteeves2044 No at Bentley's first operation Chehalis near Harrison Hills, after apprenticing I worked up Harrison Lake, then Rivers Inlet, Queen Charlotte Islands, chases the big pay checks, also packed around 090 Stihl falling. Good memories, now my back talks to me about those things.

Yer right. Lived in Kokish just up from Woss. Good days eh?

Hard to compare

Well the biggest bunk I could find for a highway truck is 10’6” the off highway trucks had 14’ and 16’ bunks.

It’s either the Pacific Northwest of USA or British Columbia Canada.

it's for better visibility as the driver

Hood's really long.

Ever seen a Mack R model

@@deborahchesser7375 u model?

@@deborahchesser7375 mack dm has offset cab . r model has cab centre mounted cab . hayes hdx has offset cab

Thats FUNNY, the Lemare and Western trucks are still running, DAILY !

I think there 53 inch tires if I remember right

Water is free

Exactly that big ass tank behind the cab is full of water to cool the drums

It's the trucks BRAKE / not break ,that's what the workers take sometimes when they're hungry lol.
