I'm am so kicking myself for not going with the Ultrashift in my W990. That's alright, the next one will have it or the Endurant 18 spd. Just clicked of 60k on the truck since October so I'll be putting on the miles within the next few years. Already started planning for the next one and I plan on making quite a few changes compared to this one.

What's the advantages of a 6 axle dump over a tandem daycab tractor and a 24 to 30ft tri axle short dump. For bridge, lite weight and overall year round versatility? Can that truck tailgate rock like a 16 ft triaxle?
@jerrykinnin79414 жыл бұрын
Still miss running 27 tons in a 16 ft triaxle on an 80000 lb plate in KY. Sad that very lite weight and proper spec'd truck can only do 21 tons or so per regs. It's Awesome its only 2000 lbs heavier than my old tri axle. That had Dayton rims and a steel double floor bed and hand crank flip tarp.
@KenworthofRichfield4 жыл бұрын
It weighs less, costs less overall, and can haul darn close to the same total. The other part is the versatility. There's some tight spots in these areas that just make it tough to get a twisty neck in.
@bobwurth8194 жыл бұрын
what is the real advantage of the three extra axles? if they were not fitted how much could that truck carry?

You'd lose about 14k of capacity without them because of bridge law.

What is the weight and cost penalty associated with that 18 speed compared to the Kenworth 12? Was it chosen in part due to unproven nature of the 12 in vocational use? I thought I saw you report in a video a few weeks ago that you'd heard the 12 was approved for vocational use.
@KenworthofRichfield4 жыл бұрын
Great questions Doug! So the 12 was approved for vocational use recently and is a great transmission. I believe that when we ordered this truck, it was not approved yet. We already know that the MX11 and 18 speed are a great combination. We're going to get a few more 12's out there working with the MX13 and see what else we may need to change to make sure that the MX11 and 12 speed work. It's all about making steps in the right direction. :D
