      I've driven the Mercedes 6x6 here in Aus when the Singapore Army comes through for their Shoalwater bay exercises.
      -- Sadly I wasnt aloud to get in their leopard(?) tanks, + I was too tall anyway.
      Their army personnel were very professional to deal with.

      Sure, but also... weird request. They sold it, so the onus is on them for having not cleaned it. It's not like Mr. Hewes is going to do some "stolen valor" type thing (is that what you'd call it if you used a vehicle like that pretending???). If this would've been in a museum, they would've done the same? A bit anally retentive if you ask me to zip someone half across the world because your people done frakked up and didn't clean their own mess. When that happens, take the L and don't push your mess on others. Just my 2 cents. I don't like people or groups of people who can't accept their own failure. You messed up, you own up to it.

    I used to be an aircraft engineer at Gatwick airport, the company I worked for had a Douglas aircraft tug similar to the one you had there. It was more than capable of pushing a Boeing 747-400 weighing around 360 tons back off the gate while the engines were being started. So it would be pushing against 360 tons static weight and against the idle power of 4 General Electric CF6 engines at idle power (the engines could move the aircraft forward at idle) I don’t know what the engine thrust was at idle power. But that tug would overcome the load and move the aircraft backwards off the gate, but it would be doing that on a solid smooth grippy concrete surface not grassy dirt. Watching the tug move all that weight against the engine thrust was always an impressive sight.

    What people seem to miss is the fact that the foden has its roots in the late 50's and can still match fairly modern stuff.
    I can remember sitting in a motor vehicle engineering class at college (86-88) where my lecturer was pointing out the brute force of scammel trucks ( ex mod) were used in hauling old locomotives to scrap , saying not fast by any means but could haul almost anything. In reference to scrap metal merchants using foden and scammels during the 60's.
    He was "that guy" that brought in slides of a foden/ scammel low loader with 202 tonnes driving through wales......
    Iirc it was about gearing not necessarily about horsepower. And he droned on about land rovers for the rest of the term......🤣 But I did find out after I left college that the hangar buildings we used were factories to make spitfires in the 40's......... in Wiltshire 👌🏻 Now a housing estate 🙄

    Ok so many moons ago I was in a Reliance mercury tug with another aircraft technician who shall remain nameless. We were on Nightshift, decided to kill some time by driving the long way back to the line building around the peri track. We suddenly both think, simultaneously, I wonder what this would be like off road. Steered it off the peri track onto the grass,straight in axle deep. Had to get on radio, get another tug, use the winch to get it out. Big bollocking, embarrassment etc. You tell kids stories like that these days, they don't believe you.

    However, the aircraft tug's tires were designed for the best traction on concrete or asphalt pavement, not dirt. Not surprising then, that the Foden (with tires better suited for traction on soft ground) was able to pull the tug relatively easily, apparently.

    You know, i kinda suspected they'd be equal... but not quite like that.
    Eh, the tug in its original config stands no chance against anything short of another tug or smaller. BUT, put that on tarmac and load it properly, and it can pull mountains. This is why you take those, strip the tin off, give it a suspension and they make amazing farm vehicle. They will pull a lot.
    That said, on tarmac, properly loaded, they're really good. I genuinely don't get people who build custom pullers, when you can buy one of these even clapped out and they're still better.

    Back in early 90's I was attached to a REME unit in Germany. Eventually I ended up being a standby driver for recovery jobs. Our vehicle, ( a Foden ), was a beast.
    I have to say, having seen them in action, that a good REME Reccymech operator would have made mincemeat of the Mercedes.

    • @Chriscovery
      @Chriscovery 2 месяца назад

      I like the Fodens and saw them in action in Sennelager, Germany.
      But to be honest a Foden has no chance vs the type of drivetrain the Mercedes packs.
      I drove a nearly identical Mercedes SK 6x6 (no wrecker though) and the drivetrain configuration is the same as used in heavy haulage trucks and was the most heavy duty type drivetrain on the market for street going HGVs.
      "Mine" had a turbocharged 14,6L V8 (530hp/2300Nm) vs the 16,0L n/a V10 (320Hp/1.100Nm) in Mr Hewes wrecker.
      But it had the same WSK400 coupled to a 16speed ZF manual gearbox.
      Of course traction always wins but you can't do more than 2 interaxle & 3 diff locks with 14.00R20 tyres.
      If you talk pulling power nothing can beat the torque multiplying WSK400 in front of a 16spd and low geared planetary axles in the Merc.
      I love them both, they are both beasts. Foden is simple, reliable (for british terms) the Merc is a sophisticated gentle giant....but can be a nightmare from the costs if someone is not trained on the specifics and ruins for example the clutch (torque converter).

    We`ve all seen 100`s of vehicle Cammo set ups from all over the world, but for me there`s never been anything as eye catching as that plain old simple British "black and green" of the british army,not that i`m biased or anything !!😊

    Seeing as the kraut dug down to more solid ground i think the foden had it really and both should go again in the middle of the field v10 vs RR 6 cylinder. Those old fodens ate awesome bits of kit

    There was a Jet Provost flying around over Husbands Bosworth last weekend, I wonder if they saw yours in the field?

    Loved driving those tugs at Aberdeen airport, one afternoon I was pushing and airbus off the stand and next stand had a forklift (not a lie) pushing a KLM airbus off the stand as their tug was U/S 😮

    21:18 has multiple tanks, tools, trucks, bulldozer, forklifts, Jim Bowens Bentley and no back of phone.
    Mr Hewes would be the sort of guy who'd go to a shopping mall to buy a new back cover for his phone and come back with a tank. And no phone cover.

    You should get a centifical fuel filter and pump pulling fuel from the original tank and sending to your little fuel tank on top.

    Powerful tug o war. Acetylene sparks flying. Great sound to endanger my speakers. This was a good video, and yet...no one rubbed Teds belly when he wanted it. You get a "like" under protest.
