Girls like the chrome and the air horns on top is the best look.

Hahahahahaha. You showed the VIN in your video. Back of the sleeper on the drivers side.

A split windshield might be cheaper to replace after a stone hits it

Drove 18 hours from South Carolina to Texas in a Peter bilt with the narrow day cab and it was brutal

Well we have like 14 Pete's on our farm and that's all we'll buy, we've found they hold up pretty well cause they are really built solid and don't have all the fiberglass and plastic that lots of others do. We have a mix between 388s , 389s and 379s. They also for the most part don't rattle around as much as others trucks ive seen . He wouldn't be disappointed with a Pete and that narrow cab is the bomb when you have the wife along for the day 😉 otherwise ya u probably won't really need or want it but I feel they're also a little more cozy and stuff.

Mike, I used to train other drivers in a narrow day cab slope nose Peterbuilt to haul fuel in Illinois. Especially no fun in the winter with 2 people and all the extra gear. Now we have the wide cabs ,much better room.

The cab of that Pete is way wider than that 1 ton pickup your driving get a Pete you will never go back there the muscle of this country 💪👍🤣

Can't choose. Overhere in Europe you would steal the show with each en everyone of those trucks. 😉

Never a dull day with Mike, so looking forward to see how the two new Case tractors preform seeding

They all look ancient, like 1960's design 🤣

After driving several classic Pete's and a freight shaker classic. The long nose Pete's have horrible turning radius.

Mike - Always fun to tag along with you. Lucky for you that wasn't a 'Black Helicopter' !!! It's the 'Black' Ones that you need watch out for !!!!

Love Petes. Great solid work truck is a western star.

Hey Mike! Oh the Peterbilts the serial number is on the back of the cab or sleeper most of the time… at 10 min 30 seconds into the video u actually grazed ur camera right by it! It’s usually only the last 6 or 8. But it’s part of it

I’d bless you with all you need my man!! 🙏

Great video Mike. Here in Oz the Pete's are not very popular. The biggest selling heavy truck is Kenworth followed by Volvo. God bless you all!!!!

Mike at 10:31 you looked right at the serial number on the back of the sleeper. 😂

I have an 06 w900. And 07 classic. The shaker is still my favourite rig and smoothest ride

Sure good lookin trucks👍. Never drove the new style cabs but more room is always a good thing! I like the plain white truck. Could always take it to graphics shop n throw some pinstripes on it n spice it up a little👍

That black & chrome truck is a beautiful machine Mike, probably too good to taken down gravel roads & across fields, made for posing at the truckstops!

😍😍😍 I'm from Europe and i love this trucks. 👍 The black one and the dark green are cool. The white one is very stylish, but i don't want to clean it. 😂

27 years in fuel trucks and as much as I loved petes in the beginning, the Western Stars win hands down for comfort when youre an adult sized person and they were so much more reliable. On the other hand Im so happy to never have to be in traffic again 🚚👷‍♀

I can see an advantage to a split windshield if it gets cracked you only replace half of it ! Another great video Mike !

Mike the split windshield flat glass is much cheaper yo maintain.

Love the look of a pete hate, and I mean hate the clutch pedal through the floor

I started trucking around the time Western Star came out with their 4900’s. We had a few of them. I drove them until I bought my own truck, a Pete. Never once did I feel the cab was to narrow even with passengers.

Love your content

Serial # is driver side back of sleeper. Small little stamped tag should be last six of vin.

Mike magnifique vidéo et les camions sont bien intéressante et bien équipés 😂😮😅😊

great video

Awesome content

Hope to see new 9RX 830 on Mike’s farm someday.

Hey Mike, at 10:38 you filmed the last 7 or 8 digits of the VIN. That tag that is riveted to the back of the bunk, on the driver side, is what you're looking for.

Just be sure to get a webasto!

Smart farmers favor fuel economy and price to operate versus truck drivers who favor looks and comfort. On my dad's farm, we drove old rust buckets that were paid for, and that we could fix ourselves rather inexpensively. Also, cheaper to insure.

With the split windshield, it's cheaper to replace than a full windshield

Serial number on back of bunk above fuel tank on left side. You looked right at it😅

The new 589 has the cab from the 579 and it is wider than a classic 389, and cost to replace windows are much higher vs a split window

Used to be a little plate behind drivers door, serial number on front frame in driver's side

we have 8 units made up of Peterbuilt, international and 2 volts that are horrible and currently being disposed of when new units arrive. we have never had good thoughts about the Volvos other than cheap price...

4:54 That is actually indeed a flying umbrella.

The International and the Peterbilt have basically the same engine, transmission and rear ends.

Ha I commented on the last people predicting that everyone would ask if mikes getting the 9rx 380 and I was right!

10:31 there’s a number on the back of the sleeper In the rivets

that 389x probably worth more than the 589 behind just because of the hood and windshield. Im also gonna say that having a set back front axle is a game changer when you're pulling super B's

Just a heads up Mike ..peterbilt and kenworth are both built by paccar u are paying for quality and reliability..plus they look 👍 the visibility is not much of an issue and the resale value is phenomenal

Buy an older Pete and go through it front to back and you'll be further ahead.

On the house!!

"New" truck that looks like it was made in the 60's... The North American trucks are pretty ridiculous next to European trucks.

Yeah, the 589 (with the single piece windshield) is a replacement for the 389 with the narrow cabs. The 567 (slope nose) also has the wider cab, and they all share the same interior now (the 579 aero style truck does as well). Pete wanted to go with a single cab for all of its trucks, and so that's the plan going forward. I personally don't like it: the narrow cab look is much more classic and North American. But business is business, and what's good for the customer preference isn't always what's good for the bottom line. You can get a single piece windshield for the narrow cab btw, but it's not a common spec.

buy an European truck. They're great. I don't now about availability but they are smoooth to drive

Used to drive a 1967 Mack with NO power steering and straight cut gears Ask me if I was tired at the end of the day, of course I was!

Cool

To me the list in order of beauty goes Peterbuilt Western Star then International.

Great video Mike

I hope you test out the new 9rx or case Quadtrac during the seeding season

Mike is a funny nut.👍

Should look at the International with the new Scania S13 engine.

they always have the serial number on a plate rivited on the left rear of cab or sleeper

Morning

My 06 379 daycab is very cramped for me at 6'2". Line of sight to gauges through steering wheel is awful. Air Brake valves down by my ankles, hood brackets squeak constantly... very popular trucks though and hold value very well.

I love the look of those classic petes. But if i had to make money with a truck i would never buy one. I think i would drive right past the Peterbilt dealership and go to International. They can haul the same load for the same amount of money.

Hi Mike I see John deer waited for you to buy case to bring out the new John deer with No DEF 😅

It always amazes me how different those American trucks are from our European haha.

Eaven if the new Volvo 780 looks like Freddie Kruegers little sister.. you should try one! Would be interesting to se what you think about it, and ofcourse whith the I-shift👌

They Just wanted to make sure everyone knew what one is the pilots seat lol

At 10:31 youre literally staring right at the serial number 😂😂 on the back of the bunk

You were looking for the serial number and at 12:29 your camera panned the serial number tag on the back of the sleeper above the fuel tank. Oh well now you know. Nice riggs ,,,,,,,,,,,,I drive a pre emissions Pete day cab 3406 Cat 18 speed and yes I have to shift, pull a 1100 bu Timpte grain hopper.

When are you getting the new 9RX 830

That fully white with cigarette stacks looks MINT,but i'd rather take some multi colored like that one next to it with tiny pinch of grey,looks much better for my personal taste.

a Peterbilt truck is the John Deere of trucks Mike especially the 389, model. You take a Peterbilt keep it 15 years, then you keep your IHC or Volvo 15 years put same amount of miles on them then you Mike will know the difference between them. Apple's & Oranges. A Freightliner would be even worse yet. I will tell you what I tell others many farmers that do buy fancy Peterbilt's do it because when they have their name put on them it's the only thing of their farm they can bring to town and show off when delivering a load of grain to town. You can't bring your big X9 combine to town every day now can you.

What’s up good buddy? Light here!!

At the mine, the drivers wanted Kenworth. Because we got one, the mechanics insisted that all the others be the same - it drastically simplified maintenance and logistics by having all the same truck - especially on a remote site. My point being it is best to stick with a single make and model - if possible - as it lowers maintenance costs.

The only thing a narrow cab is good for is getting a tan on both arms

When I am looking for a truck it's always function over form.

A front view camera would cure the front-end blind spots.

Classic pete for the win haha

🔥go for it Mike..that dark green Pete and your float head to the Deere dealership and pick up your new rx 830🔥👊🔥🏍⚠️🔨🚜do it Mike only live once

you should try Western star

I read that John Deer has put out a new tractor with over 800hp. Whatcha think of it, or have you already ordered one :)

you gotta check out new 9rx with massive 18.0l engine :)

Have you seen the new John Deere 9RX tractor advertisement ? Looks like they are talk to you directly. LOL

How many load do you haul per yr..field to farm and farm to elavator

You going to try thr new john deere 9rx 830 looks an absolute weapon💪💪

Our daughter moved to Oklahoma from Calgary. She was amused to see how Americans say "semi truck". Then how do they say "hemi"? . . . not the same as they say "semi". . . . Go figure.

Well, if you want the classic version, you better buy it this year because they don't make it anymore

I’m an international kind of guy myself

Your guys would fight over who gets to drive that 389

all be in the scrap yard someday

Left rear corner of sleeper, there’s a tag

Ask Mike the trucknut for a discount on the Peterbilt!

10:30 I think you were looking for this number.

Your so canadian. 😂 the way you say semi. You say "seme" I pronounce it "semi" like semeye Plus the serial number was on back of sleeper. I saw it in your phone😂

that 389X is a limited edition with a whopping $38,000 extra price just for the X package. Peterbilt has gotten carried away with their extra prices for what, two shinny fenders, two stitched seats with 389X on them a plaque on the dash stating it's a 389X with its number. This is the 3rd time they have went down this route, with the 359 model in 1987 they did it, in 2007 they did it with the 379 & now with the 389. the 1st limited edition the 359 was a big success making those truck rare & valuable, not so much with the next ones, due to they made so many more. To each their own but I've had a Peterbilt near 40 years & wouldn't have anything else but if I didn't it would have to be a Kenworth, they are just as good when come to durability

Got to get SCANIA over there.

What was with that box truck? Appeared to have a couple lift axles, I thought you Canadians only got credit for the tandems in that case. Maybe there's been a rule change.

I hope to this channel with the New john Deere 9rx first.Dont let us down Mike.

Believe it or not the stacks aren’t that hard to keep nice if you have mud flaps on the back of the front wheels

389 x is the best of the best

If you were to buy a pete/kw I would steer clear of the paccar mx engines. They have had lots of issues. Stick with a Cummins in whatever you were to buy
