Working for A Dealship , I worked rebuilding 5 of the KW s planetary drive. Behind the cab were big water tanks with rubber hoses running over the brake drums to cool them off. These videos show the steam comming off the brake drums.
I worked up by Sprit Lake before St Hellens blew up and remember the 12 foot wide KWs with water cooled brakes. 1973 about.
Is that what all the steam was from?
I was wondering.
Cool! No pun intended!
@@patrivard9229 ya they spray the brakes to keep em from burning up and losing grip
Trucks in the Philippines still use water to cool their brakes.
Pacific P16 full of long logs, country music and good cold beer
Ahh, no, AC/DC cranked up...
I hate country music.
Besides, the manufacturer always had rock music playing...these trucks used to Rock and Roll from birth...lol.
I am a retired log truck dispatcher. I worked for a logging contractor on Vancouver Island's west coast. The off highway trucks, Pacific. Hayes, etc, empty truck and trailer weighs about 75 tons and we found that the ideal load of logs weighed about 100 tons. More than that and the truck could handle it but would go thru brakes and springs and be too slow going up any adverse, so 100 tons worked best and would be 2.5 to 3 times the load a highway log truck could haul.
So a combined 175 tons is what the trucks were still comfy with. 175. Seriously? That's literally 100 honda civics. Absolutely mental.
@@whotf888 Not mental. Just efficient.
Notice the WFP on the door of the one truck. I worked for Crown Z when they were still around in Kokish. Moved up to Smith inlet with Weldwood later on.
Heavy machinery for heavy wood ;)
Awesome to hear from a dude who was actually there. Thanks!
Can you prove?
I'm here because of snowrunner and I am truly amazed at the sheer strength of these beasts, human ingenuity at its finest
Snowrunner is such a fun game.
I’m most impressed with the strength of the trailer hitch pin
I agree..the kingpin is one of the most impressive pieces of hardware I've ever seen..lol
@@thetruthspeaker1978 I just watched a vid where a Volvo semi truck pulles 750 tons, those pins really are extremely impressive
@@bmad1386 definitely not Chinese steel..😂
Its the tiny chains securing the logs for me.
The hitch pretty much only steers the trailer. The logs themselves are the trailer
My grandfather spoke of six log loads with these big offroad trucks. Miss that man....
Wouldn’t surprise me a bit. I hauled a one tree load once. I live where the big ones are all gone now. Some of that equipment isn’t tied down. We lost a big cat hauling that way once. Would love to haul for a day in one of those trucks. Would love to pull a big cow train in Australia too.
I have seen spruce big enough around i needed two chokers to get around the butt
What they log now are not much bigger than fence rails
The “I’ll steal your house” threat is now relevant
Living out here in British Columbia, there are/were a fair amount of these big Pacific beasts running up and down the logging roads. They are truly huge, even compared to a highway tractor.
Nice trucks. I always had a soft spot for a Hayes HDX with 14 foot bunks filled up way over the cab
I had one pull up behind me at a stop sign once . I was driving a Ford one ton 4x4 with factory box , could see daylight between my tailgate and the bottom of his front bumper . I think I recall him having 14.00 x 26 tires . This was a patch pounder , not log truck
This truck is awesome in Snowrunner lol Its amazing how strong those posts are on the logging trailer 😳 damn lol
it clearly shows that the desingers of this monstruosity put all their effort in performance over the way it looks. But this thing still looks the most badass piece of machinery ever made
I actually love the look of these trucks.
Function before form.
These trucks are literally rebuilt over and over. Raw steel at its best
I adore the Pacific P16!
Gorgeous machine
I'd love to see these return. So simple and indescribable
These and the big Hayes trucks, absolute beasts
These trucks are so big, they make their own weather.
Living in New Jersey I've only seen one Pacific truck it was a giant tow truck.. I don't know how it could have fit down some of our roads.. Wish I had a photo of it..
Logging trucks - the most truck you can possibly get.
Those Pacific big rigs were quite the logging trucks during their times! Nice work!
Were? They still are. No modern logging truck comes close to their pulling capacity
@@chaselaurence8783 Very true though. Those classic Canadian logging trucks have been fantastic since the 1970s!
@@chaselaurence8783especially if they soup up the engines for better torque
Love these trucks. My dad use to get calendars with paintings of them operating in the big timber forests. I had a toy one from the late fifties ‘50’s that had steering front wheels and rubber tires. Learned how to back up a trailer with that toy!
My grandfather worked on the Martin mars bombers and I have snap on tools from that he showed me trucks like this and lots of stories was very cool
I remember seeing these giant loads of logs coming down the mountain in Campbell River when we were kids. Just crossed the hiway but never drove on the hiway itself......Unbelievable loads.
Good boys ! Loaded vehicles, ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY, in off-highway situations. i drove roads like this, in winter in northern Saskatchewan, hauling sulfuric acid to uranium mines, Wollaston Lake area. TIME, DOESN'T MATTER; one must be ' goal ' oriented, and operate, according to conditions. The only load, which is '' late '' is one which DOES NOT GET THERE.......we all just wish, 4 wheelers' drivers/operators could UNDERSTAND THIS.
Loads of stories of people driven off the road by these, even a few deaths.
At the end of the day the roads are owned by the logging companies - if you're going up logging roads for w/e reason do it on off hours.
Skadill got me into these rigs a few years ago and they’re beautiful!
Brings back memories of growing up in Mill City Oregon back in the 70s... dad was a logger, he would take us up to various logging sites up in the mountains... I miss those days.
Beautiful logs. Would love to have these on my sawmill.
My most favorite snow runner truck😍❤️
What a beautiful machine.
Ağaçların bu konudaki düşüncesini bilmek isterdim. Haha
Amazing logging truck skills..Salute!!!
I loved working at Pacific Truck and Trailer.
One of the best places I have ever worked at
That's steam coming off trailers.
Had huge water tank beside cab to cool down brakes.
Great video 👍🏽📸🇺🇸
My uncle worked in the Weyerhauser off road shop by Eugene. Awesome trucks
Wonderful wagons.
As cool as a p16 is, if you want the largest conventional looking truck what you're looking for is the Kenworth super 963, up to half a million pounds rolling on 70 inch tires.
Love those water cooled brakes!
had these on the olympic peninsula. they are impressive!!
Now those r cool toys!!
good thing there were some that appreciated these things enough at work to make these type of videos of them for us. lol be cool if there were more.
VON DIESEM TRUCK - TYP HABE ICH BISLANG NOCH NIE WAS GEHÖRT ODER GESEHEN! GIGANTISCH! WÜRDE SEHR GERNE MAL EINE RUNDE FAHREN DAMIT! 👍
Great and heavy truk. Good vidio
Snow Runner for real.
Ive seen that white one in person in Kawerau, New Zealand super cool truck
Thats steam from cooling the brakes. The one guy was showing off as he was way over weight. Cool trucks l remember fleets of these. I grew up in logging.
I remember seeing an old restored log truck outside of a restaurant in Olympia, WA. Some old logger drove the damn thing there to eat dinner. It was an absolutely massive triple axle truck. Years later I have my CDL and we don't see rigs like this in my area (obviously). My new bosses have probably run these in years past though and I think they are really interesting.
I'm sure if you go a bit further northwest you'll see more of them. They might have some of these at Forks.
@@username8644 Thanks for the tip.
I drove two of these. One was a 5 and 4 trans. The other was 18 speed. Tough reliable truck.
Used to see these up in the NW corner of Alberta/NE Corner of B.C. when there were rig moves into that area to re-start gas drilling, around 1978-80. Lots of Bed/Winch trucks being used for the rigs; there were areas where there as logging going to extend roads or clear lease areas, Pacific and Hayes both. I caught a lift with one logger after a breakdown. The fellow had a classic B.C. Coast logger setup, water tank, "V" shaped headache rack, etc. It did have one unusual thing - a 13 speed backed by a 4 speed,. 5 and 4 was common on the oilfield bed trucks. Used to see lots of Hayes and Pacific trucks when visiting family on the Island, or up the mainland coast. Real monster rigs, and at that time they were working them hard. Not so many now.
The P16 stock had Detroit V12 power and a Allison 6 speed auto, the P12 had the 5/4 or 18's,
Changed many a Detroit, or Allison, first job was on a grease pit at CanFor, changing oil, grasping, then on to brakes, we tugged our guts out on a greased hunk of steel to pulled the duals, it's strained out milk let me tell you, big stuff.
There were Hayes HDX, Kenworth, Pacific and Mack, all with the V12, Alison combos, still operating, most of the Macks went to South America. Husby still runs a few.,
@@johac7637Canfor on the island?
Worked for Crown Z in Kokish, next door to Canfor, Beaver Cove.
Great country and good times.
@@alsteeves2044 No at Bentley's first operation Chehalis near Harrison Hills, after apprenticing I worked up Harrison Lake, then Rivers Inlet, Queen Charlotte Islands, chases the big pay checks, also packed around 090 Stihl falling.
Good memories, now my back talks to me about those things.
Pacifics were damm notorious trucks
K.L.C.
Kaingaroa Logging Company, N.Z.
Were their biggest customers in the 60's
My dad used to drive log truck on the West Coast, he had a nickname for these big offroad trucks... Wood Pigs.
That last setup was a 54-wheeler. Man-o-live! That's a going to be a load.
Awesome!.. I love this channel I 👍
SnowRunner brought me here XD
Absolute unit
maashallah ni vizuri sana
I can remember 2nd loading at Canadian Forest ... Woss Lake. It did not seem such a big deal then. :)
Yer right. Lived in Kokish just up from Woss. Good days eh?
Real bad assed old trucks. Love em. Too bad most people on the highway will never see these beasts as most operate on closed off private radio controlled roads
WOW, phantastic views of the engine, please
do more of them, please if possible longest lasting possible from underneath drivers cab floor, to open view on pedal segments activated by drivers feet in the cabin and steering linkage....would be awesome to save pics of this mechanical technology threatened by new electric drives....

Worked there from 1980 to 2005 awesome place to work!
Picop in Philippines have plenty of this logging trucks such as Pacific, Hayes,Kenworth and Peterbuilt.
Still fond of The Ruggered ole days and off road log trucks with big 'pay' loads..basic stuff in all logging mahi... awesome 👍.. kaapai presente ✌️ Kia Ora 👍🌞
I’ve always wanted to see how the water cooled brakes were set up.?
Would love to drive one.
Was ein Monster 😍😍😍V12 Biturbo,525 PS♥️♥️♥️
Truk Super Power 👍
Muito bom excelente 👏👏👏 parabéns pelo vídeo 👏👏👏 parabéns. Como e o nome desse país parabéns 👏👏
It’s either the Pacific Northwest of USA or British Columbia Canada.
Perfektne Trucki 👍👍👍💪💪💪👌👑
looks like Can is not so different to Aust. BIG BIG COUNTRY. thanks for the upload...l beautiful
wow amazing ❤❤
I had a three log load. One log we couldn't pick up so the d8 pushed it into the truck with bunk stakes laying on the ground. Two little trees on top was a load
NICE
Sou brasileiro lindo caminhao muito top
I love how logging has ZERO regulations for vehicles. Last maintained in 1912.
Son unos mostruos de potencia esos camiones 😊
You forget how gigantic these trucks get when you look at pictures or play them in videogames.
That guy isn't messing around!
I don’t think some people realize how big these things are compared to a Highway semi
Hard to compare
Well the biggest bunk I could find for a highway truck is 10’6” the off highway trucks had 14’ and 16’ bunks.
The swan neck is so high on the low loader I wonder if it was meant for a motorscraper tractor? (The big old ones with a steer axel)
the brakes👌
Good amezing
Truck yang bagus dan kuat.
Deus abencoi voces
Thumbs up excellent video. I can’t understand how the country that built these machines and has such a rugged logging industry could ever put a pajama boy like Trudeau in office?
Cool

Do you guys have any videos of Montana logging trains? I think 1970s by Deer Lodge
These gargantuan behemoths are the backbone of the logging industry. Repect!!
Wow ! - N Idaho -
weyerhauser had kenworth trucks like these on their white river ops in the seventees, they never left the dirt
You don’t need to worry about smoking your brakes
Rolling in this beast in the forest, day or night, you fear nothing. No animal, human, alien or any entity can stop you. They just gets run over or torn to pieces by the engine.
Wonder what did they used to film these in the 70s? Either small hand cam or big ass news crew cam. Anyway, all were wonderfully recorded.
Thats FUNNY, the Lemare and Western trucks are still running, DAILY !
Ive always wonder why the cabin is moved to the right but it looks unique and robust
it's for better visibility as the driver
Hood's really long.
Ever seen a Mack R model
@@deborahchesser7375 u model?
@@deborahchesser7375 mack dm has offset cab . r model has cab centre mounted cab . hayes hdx has offset cab
So, I noticed different exhaust configurations. Some stacks next to the cab and some running under the tractor...or am I seeing things??
hell yeah keeping that old iron alive
Is the engine exposed from overheating, must be a big compromise with all that dirt around
the guy is breathing like he was pulling the trailer himself.. damn..
what’s the torque number on these beast ?

How is a two axle trailer hauling 300k lbs? Whats the difference in these and regular semi axles
What motors, transmission's and gear ratios are in them
We need that in Brazil!
Mr.Schwemler's road train
Are these class 9 trucks?
LOOK AT THE FUCKING WHEELS SQUATTING OUT ON THAT FIRST TRUCK LOL HOLY SHIT.
lookit them tires,they packin weight
I think there 53 inch tires if I remember right
Co2 would cool the breaks I think.someone should hook up a spray fogger system to hit the break area on the truck at least,break cooling system, lol
Water is free
Exactly that big ass tank behind the cab is full of water to cool the drums
It's the trucks BRAKE / not break ,that's what the workers take sometimes when they're hungry lol.
