I like the engine cooling fan engage and disengage during video... !

Mate I've been looking for this footage for a while watched it a few years back been wanting to show my missus shes doing the woodie woodie mine run based at headland for Qube bulk

If that truck was powered by steam you would all be in the pub by this.

Thanks for posting this. I remember this being filmed - I used to work for Hugh Phillips and also knew his son Adrian. I went to Sudan several times and so the video brought back happy memories of my younger days.

nothing better than a big cat under the hood.

You de Man

That's professional driving for ya!???

Mules Pack Horse

Heard they blown this part of the road since the collapsing last year. They want to bring train there now. Chinese will pay for it.

from crawl to stall in nothing flat. ....God I love trucks. 😮 did you say 3000 revs ??? you'd blow the motor taking that high on revs here in the usa

Pulling like a school boy!

Annoying Chip in the Screen Old Mate . Or is it the Remnants of a Bug .

Hummin Cummins I Prosume 600hp bloody pulls like a train bravo old Son you done well keep on Trucking 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪😁😁😎✌️

What a nice quality print. I was the cameraman. Pleasing to see this.

Pulling what my grandfather's would call "real fuckn weight!" haha beautiful!

So many experts, so little knowledge. There are only a few people here who really know what they are talking about. Some AMT's are great, some not so great, but they all need a little help from the driver at some stage.

Did I just watch a video where a man changes gears in an automatic climbing a hill? Rather pointless

legend !! cheers for that.(uk)

good job i love that train

That is maybe your opinion, to prevent 'the bloody thing cooking,'as you politely said. fit short ratio diffs,a shorter low range, lose bit of top end speed ,but easily rectified with a tall overdrive off top gear in high range. Fit the biggest radiator and oil cooler you can under the bonnet with two or more fans to obtain maximum airflow . Run the engine at a lower rpm ,find the 'sweet spot' where she will run happily for hours on end . Last thing you want is the engine going bang in the middle of nowhere .

Whereabouts in NZ was this filmed?

I don't know how you put up with that hectic traffic all day .

So that’s 15.2 litres plus 50psi of boost, awesome! Puts my turbo car into perspective. Great video.

Is that auto. Thats cheating!

Have to shift in manual.....................................cause a truck driver is better than an ECM. yeah right!!!

For that weight, the Kenny,s thrashed to an inch of its life, 6x4 drive 620 Cummin,s ponies in need of the vet,18 speed eaton auto manual,a recipe for disaster, . My ideal tractor to handle 170-250 ton quad trailer trains with decent hill climbing performance.and not flog the guts out of the engine and ,box. Is a five axle Western Star ,19 litre Cummins QRSK bored out to 20 litres, juiced up to ,1,100hp twirling an eight speed Clark Power-Shift, a tried tested gearbox used in the Timber and Oil Field industries. Three speed Spicer auxilliary ,box to three SISU hub reduction drive axles, thus reducing stress on the half shafts . The QRSK tweeked for maximum torque delivery between 900 and 1800 rpm , making for a very drivable engine ,and not constantly changing gear, reducing stress , shock in the transmission. Two ZF Hydraulic Retarders driven of the Spicer aux box, able to hold a 200plus ton road train at a constant 25 kmh down hill . A Third ZF retarder clutched in and driven off the bogie of the third trailer,on a single engined road train.

that is alot of weight .you know how to work that diesel

nice vid, pity 'bout your accent, worked klc logging in the 60's Cummins Pacific 400 bhp spicer boxes n diffs, pushing off the skids with aid d7 dozer, triple log trailers .thats hard work for C15 OR ANY 15l engine, IMO you need 'bout 20 litres, using that much torque for long pulls, well that's hard on any drive train Question, will the box not change unless you clutch?Built on the same platform as the 550 hp C15, the new engine rating provides 2,050 lb-ft torque at 1,200 rpm and a constant torque output all the way up to 1,700 rpm. In the 600 hp version, the C15 offers torque of 1,850 lb ft.

G'day bloody enjoyed that interesting how she switches to auto what seemed like half gears thanks John

Desperately underpowered,block (skip) changing two three gears down the box into grandma that poor Kenny is really working hard. fan cutting in and out, coolant is on the verge of boiling off. No substitute for a big snorting slow revving lump, a Cummins QRSK 19 Litres and 900 of Clessie Cummin,s best ponies, find a good diesel specialist to soup up the QRSK and 1,000 ponies on tap.

Looking very nice my friend, I've subbed

Had to drive it in manual cause there is now way a computer is smarter than a kiwi....................said no one ever!

That was great Ralf. Tonnes of grunt imagine doing that with the old 350 Cummins trucks of the late 70’s haha. Well done

Get the sack for doing that now. Good clip.👍

40 kph at the top of the Toowoomba range in my 1982 Toyota HiAce campervan with a 2.2 litre motor and four speed old deisel are slow 😊
