@@ericg4915 You obviously dont build roads.

except the video quality 480p

I don't build roads, but just looking at this I could say, the fact the tractor never lost traction tells you something about the road surface

@@ericg4915 actually permafrost can melt under pressure and give you frost heaves- you must not live in Alaska or Canada

It is impressive how the transmission can withstand such load without shearing the gears teeth.

@@yaedo6035 There's not a huge amount of torque on the gears that are connected directly to the engine. They transfer power by revving fast. It's only the granny gears that connect to the driveshaft that take the heavy loads, and I would guess that even those aren't stressed as much as the drive axles because of more gearing down at the differentials.

@@RagingGeekazoid I was referring to the output gears. But had not considered the drive axles.

@@yaedo6035 Yep. It looks like a typical ratio for differentials is around 3 or so.

@@yaedo6035 Now that I think of it, if the differentials distribute the power equally to four pairs of wheels, a ratio of around 4 would mean the driveshaft takes about as much torque as the axles. 🤔

Why no pusher? Insane.

@ken7734 If it is only 80,000 lbs that's plenty of truck as long as it doesn't break traction.

It looks massive but at the end of the day if it's within it's capabilities then why not?

Because if it had lost traction even for a few seconds it would have turned into an 80000lb sledge that’s why!

Driver was reckless to even attempt that slope without another rig pushing or a dozer hooked up at the top etc , that could have easily gone very wrong fast

Try crawler gear one :)

Id be thinking wtf do we have to keep moving these barrels

Sounds like he was in the basement on the granny gear....Whole lot more revs than movement.

@@dancearoundtheworld5360 True. Next, they'll be asking for him to move them while full.

If your trusted with these jobs you already know how to pick the right gear 😂

@@scubadivingsince2006 I've driven trucks for a living. The hardest thing to do when pulling a heavy load up a grade, is downshift when you bog the engine. You upshift when the grade allows you to,, but then the grade changes and your revs drop. Then you wish you had stayed in that lower gear.

We can easily switch to electric semi's though 🙄

@@user-ty2uz4gb7v Yeah and goats lay eggs too...

@@user-ty2uz4gb7v what would that accomplish?

@@VB-zx1yk it was sarcasm ➡️ 🙄

@@user-ty2uz4gb7v Betting the electric pulls this up twice as fast.

Yeah so they don’t have to refill it to save time

Yeah about that. Waaaay to many axles for 80000. Even account for truck weight and trailer weight they could've got by with a much smaller trailer. Maybe they got mixed up and it's 80 tons? They setup would be more appropriate for that. Or possibly the rig was setup and they didn't have to go far so it was just practical to leave it setup so they didn't have to reassemble it for a heavier load? Idk so many questions, so little answers

@@yepitsme2536 I seriously doubt that he would make the hill without a pusher and maybe a puller if it was 80 tons!

@@garypollard9770 80 tons net would put him around 215000 lb gross. Deep reduction and 4.70 s would get him up the hill

@@yepitsme2536 maybe on cement, not on uneven ground, this set up was perfect, a lot of times you can’t just pick stuff you gotta use what you have, maybe all they had were 3:73..

There are broken drive shafts all over that road lol. We have to use 980 loaders in winter to push the truck's up the hill.

Amazing engine and transmission gears everything

@@ianobrien1719 that hill will showing you how good you are at going through you gears😂😂😂

@@ianobrien1719 With that much weight on an 18% grade, and on gravel, I was sure he would not have sufficient traction. How many of his axles are driven?

HAHAHAHA, this is hands down the best line ive seen, this needs to be a slogan.

this is pretty good

Nahhh there was a few engineers reviewing gradeability, rolling resistance torque and weight...

@@lastsonofktn I hope it's Molson Canadian.

I noticed that, too, about the escort vehicle staying clear of the load. Yet, there's a newer commenter on this post that wonders why there wasn't a push truck to assist this rig up the grade. Talk about a potential suicide job.

wonder how much this load was worth ! Probably get paid $100 a mile

Traction looked like it would be the biggest issue to me, and that was before seeing the trailer configuration, which looks like it wouldn't transfer much load to the tractor unit. I bet someone spent a lot of time thinking this one through before saying "go".

It had to slip some at some point. Hood was dancing left and right for a moment

Here in the UK many years ago, I remember seeing an old ERF tractor unit pulling a trailer of straw bails up a very steep hill. That old girl was really twisting her frames, but the Gardner diesel kept her going ! Some sights you never forget !

🤣🤣

If that's the case he would have somehow found a low bridge to drive through

MrJayo73 hiii lol

We're in CANADA... ain't no swift trucks up here eh

@@endurotruckererniedesjardins Did you (or anyone else) pay attention!? Regardless of weight and climbing height there was NO ANY SMOKE from the exhaust!🙄🤔🤯 I was expecting clouds of black smoke up hill,but....nothing!That is very good (and obvious) evidence of what clean diesel means.

But there is one thing truckers can't pull

@@beamboy07 Your so funny

I can't believe it didn't loose traction on that dirt.

Yep 60 mile an hour into a 60 mph headwind. 6% grade only downshifted one gear!

You can see the engine fan Rolling hard blowing up dust.

same here! first thing that ran through my mind.... nonetheless that KW was working it's hole out pulling that lowboy and load up that hill and was definitely at it's traction limit... it looked and sounded awesome.... well done!

Nightmare Fredbear I guess it’s “light” enough to not need one.

Some of those oversize trailers have a motor mounted on the back and apply power to the drive wheels in the back.

Nightmare Fredbear yall talk shit all the time lets see a dully pull that and not break down

Probably a safety thing in case it were to tip backwards.

Id watch it

really this huge thing seems like it weighs a lot more than 80k. two trailers are limited to 140k~in most places and most will make it close to the limit to save cost so I believe you. Question is what are we looking at on the video? he has enough wheels to carry 2-3 times a bi-train you guys do in Michigan

I’d watch it.

I'd imagine under a full load like that at pretty much 100% throttle, it gets so hot that it burns the particulate filters out with no regen needed lol

Hard pack road helps big time. You are right tho. One little spin out and he would be done.

Or even the slightest bit of wheel hop.😬

He either has a tag axle that don't have much air in it or it's got three live axles

@@horsepower0539 Yup. Likely had all 3 axles locked in. Tough to steer but they keep pulling for sure.
