I had my tank hauled by these many times. It's funny, these trucks are huge and there was always a tiny Army reserve girl and crew driving. Our tank were 70 tons and the trailer had 52 wheels each with hydraulic steering on every axle. Probably 120 tons all together. They would pull like a demon and if you were going up hill I swear it would jump off the ground when it shifted from all of the torque (they are automatic). Also has a 4 person back seat with flip down bunks for 2 people. Awesome truck.
The trailer has 40 wheels on the ground, typically 2 spares and then 8 wheels for the truck on the ground plus 1 spare for that. The tractor trailer combo weighs 45 tons empty.
We had HETT's hauling our tanks through the box at NTC. Every single one stuck in the deep sand. We eventually had a convoy of tanks pulling HETT's instead which looked badass. 1997, Sheridans with 1/11 ACR.
Detroits (8V-92) are no longer used in the HET's any more,it has been over a decade since they stopped using 92 Series in Oshkosh trucks.The M1070A1,which was introduced in 2009 has Caterpillars (C-18),and still do,they make 700 HP/3,300 TQ.The M1070,ever since 1985,with the 2 Stroke Detroit made 500 HP/1,470 TQ.The other 15 Ton Trucks from Oshkosh don't use Detroit Diesel at all either since 2009,they on the other hand use the C-15 ACERT.
That's very common for crude oil haulers, because they pick up the oil at tank batteries at leases that are far from the highway, usually they're pulled out by a bulldozer.
Drove these from Kuwait to Iraq. Best recovery rig out there I loved my M1070. Yes it had the Detroit diesel Single turbo configuration we modified ours with the PLS Dedc computer used on recovery to get them to do 60 mph instead of the governed 47 mph. With an abrams tank up armored on the trailer. Still pulled like no tomorrow.
The M1070 HET did not have a 8V-92TA,they used the 8V-92TT (Twin Turbocharged) variantion of the 92 Series with 500 HP/1,470 TQ.The 8V-92TA was used on all other Oshkosh trucks like the HEMTT,PLS,LVS,LVSR,and MKR-16. A M1074-M1120 can do well over 60 MPH,but I never have seen any M1070,or even M1070A1,do above 55 MPH at the best.
Its called the HET tractor unit. Heavy Equipment Transport. Look elsewhere on utube for everything it can do. We Brits love them as well in our Army. Lots coming into private hands now Gulf is over.
I guess the driver had to try, but that tanker had no business on a dirt road that muddy to start with. The Oshkosh did a great job of unsticking it, without having to winch it. If loaded, the tanker was some serious weight to get out without winching, in that mud.
The height of the Fifth Wheel on a M1070 is different by a huge margin,you can't even haul a normal dry van trailer with a HET.You can only fit a Lowboy on one of those trucks,they pull M1000's with 40 Wheels on them all day in the Army while the truck has a 231,400 lbs GVWR.But I highly doubt it would pull the tanker if you tried.
You can't exactly do that,the Fifth Wheel on a M1070 is at a different height by a huge difference,it's not at all like attaching a trailer to a Peterbilt or Freightliner.They pull 40 Wheel M1000's in the Army all day long with M109 Paladins or M1 Abrams.The only other trailer you can actually fit on a HET is a Lowboy,any other regular trailer will not go to the back of one.
No, not really. We were better off as part of the Commonwealth. And this is a former death merchant rig, raining down terror everywhere. Not exactly much to be proud of.
It's called western North Dakota or Eastern Montana. Get that red clay wet and it's a slippery, glucky mess. Those semi's were sent out there, no matter what, with drivers that could barely drive
i think this machine is not allowed to drive by civilians only used for military missions besides that machine eats too much i want'it too maybe for a Mad Max planet or Apocalypse lol what do you think very awsome
Those roads when they get wet out there they restrict you from driving on them till they get dry that guy must not have read the sign most of that is still virgin Prairie
@@stevenrivinius1484 That's true but sometimes oil just got to move I've been pull in and out by a D9 Cat and sometimes that was a struggle. Just another day in the oil patch.
Because you can't fit any trailer to a M1070 HET when the Fifth Wheel is at a different height that it is too high for any civilian trailer that is used on a regular basis.In the Army,these pull M1000 Trailers that have 40 Wheels on them (Not including the spares).The only appropriate trailer you can fit to a truck like this is a Lowboy,used only for Wide or Oversized Loads.
@@4321grp it also a 4 inch roper pump driven by a hydraulic motor that's what my semi has on it FMCSA is trying to do away with PTO driven pumps do to the belly line could leak and cause an EPA mess. I have pulled these tankers for over 10 years you just got to be careful.
@@vernondeadmond740 , I stand corrected, I maintained a fleet of crude oil tankers back in the 80's and 90's and that's what we had on our trucks back then. Apparently they've changed in recent years.

The Marines were phasing out the 10 ton trucks where I got out. Seeing these makes me wish I had done another enlistment.
And as an 88mike we loved to drive it
The OshKosh trucks have always been AWESOME bits of gear . Un-effing-stoppable . Saw a 10x10 version once . OMFG !
Those were built to to haul M1 Abrams and other military equipment to and from Battle areas. That is one mean truck.
ENJOYED WATCHING IT WORK RECOVERING VEHICLES..
AWESOME POWER!!
Wow that old two stroke sounds good, brings back old memory's of when I drove truck back it the 70s 80s, Detroit two stroke, wind her up!
it should b a cat. Every het I've ever seen had cats.
flight2k5 They have Detroits in them as well.

I worked in the patch from 2013-2014. I remember seeing this guy around all the time.
looks like ND ... a lot of hoffman tankers out here ...Love the Patch!!!

The tanker has 12,000 gallons loaded. Total unit was around 110k lbs
Had a dozer push me from behind to a well site and going out when I drove for Halliburton.
Is Mike Beets driving?
Now what's a rig like that doing on a "road" like that?
amazing towing rope.
I love your videos keep up the great work
wow m60 tank like I used in Vietnam, 30 mph but a real but kicker 90MM main gun. 4th inf div.10 armored air assault.
holy moly ... what a beast
What power that has!
shouldve just hauled the load with the m1070
charles colston still would’ve had to tow the tractor out to.

The number on it is 1776 lol don't know if anyone caught that or if it means anything to them
No, not really. We were better off as part of the Commonwealth. And this is a former death merchant rig, raining down terror everywhere. Not exactly much to be proud of.
sometimes you just need a big truck
The only question is how was the road truck in the field? With a cistern?
It's called western North Dakota or Eastern Montana. Get that red clay wet and it's a slippery, glucky mess. Those semi's were sent out there, no matter what, with drivers that could barely drive
Вогонь! Дуже цікавий трак.
God I want one so baddly lolol. I'll just settle for a M931A2.
Holy Shit You Want One What You Gone Do With That Damn
drive it lol,. haul shit with it.
i think this machine is not allowed to drive by civilians only used for military missions besides that machine eats too much i want'it too maybe for a Mad Max planet or Apocalypse lol what do you think very awsome

Pfff What does that mean you got problems dude
Is this how you break even?
Is this vid made with an automatic wobbling camera ?????
the cameraman is a true amator
Beast mode.
It may just be me, but that driptroit sounds like it is shifting way early. Impressively quiet though.
It must be you. "Driptroit" don't shift at all. The Allison transmission shifts.
CAN YOU HOLD THE CAMERA STILL .?
You realize the truck is moving, and so he has to walk/run to keep up with it, right?
@@bisterkding9249 yea, it was great that he found time to get it on video!
why doesnt he have two sets of trips on
ONE MEAN MACHINE
Impressive machine. How the hell did that tanker get itself way out there in the middle of nowhere before it got stuck?
deltavee2 coming from the oil fields probably was fine untill it was fully loaded
Is that 12/71 power? It sounds like a 71 or 92 series.
From what I've gathered from other posts, the engine is a DD92. Two stroke, 8 cylinders @ 92ci per, but electronically controlled.
What no gravel in the oil patch?
Ask any oil producer they can't afford rock because they are BROKE. At least that is what they would tell us even when oil was over $100 a barrel.
Those roads when they get wet out there they restrict you from driving on them till they get dry that guy must not have read the sign most of that is still virgin Prairie

А где дороги ?
Why didnt they hitch trailer to the Oshkosh? It could load axles of the Oshkosh.

You have to be able to run a crude Pump it might be a gear drive or hydraulic pump.
@@vernondeadmond740 , The crude oil pump is a 4 inch Roper gear pump driven by the truck's PTO.
