Machine is a Terex 82-30. If it is pre 1973 it will have a 6-71 (FA) or a 6-71T (FAT). Post 1973 it will have a 8V71T (GA). Bit hard to tell with this machine because of the muffled over cab exhaust fitted. Good to see a 'Green Meanie' in action.
Nothing wrong with how that truck was recovered. Last thing you want to do is release the brakes. If a cable snaps or comes off, that unit is gonna roll right back down to where they started. Not at all safe. Brakes being locked ain't gonna hinder the progress one bit.
actually the rack was untouched except for some battery acid, the truck jacknifed as it went off so the logs slid PAST the cab instead of THROUGH it...
The dozer is a Terex and it looks like it's a 82-30. The "bare-dry shipping weight" of the 82-30 is about 50,000 lbs (I could get the manuals out to see what it really is weight wise but there down at the shop). Terex's were made by GM (General Motors) but they no longer make the 82-30 and GM sold the Terex brand years ago.
Poor ole girl :/ Hope no one lost their life/was injured on that ride. As an aside, my asshole always draws up when I see people standing that close to a cable under tension. scary stuff.
Thanks for sharing a tough moment. Definitely a nice rig. Hope it was brought back to life as nice. Great Cat work -- Skilled operator. Please provide info on how the rig went in the brush? Anything to do with the tight switchback?
Looks like an expensive day happened here. I well imagine that truck back on the road soon after, with a huge repair bill to pay. Wonder if the owner did this, or a paid driver?
the guy at the end in clean bluejeans and clean hoodie looks like a truck driver. and he has gloves to keep his hands soft for the lot lizards ha ha ha
in fact it was the whole axle - it sheared the U-bolts. It was a real asspain to move because i forgot to have the catskinner pick it up for me. It took about as long for me to move the axle as it did to get the rest of the truck
Should have brought in a loader. Or got in and released brakes n or take iut of gear. Dont want to bend the truck frame. Could pick it off the ground and drug it up easier. Maybe.
yah ok but maybe all his brakes (fondation brakes, jake and so on) broke or whatever, then he would have come way too fast and there he goes... or whatever
Hope I am not being a pain, but I went through my annals and the 82-20 had a 6V71T. Has quadrajet viewed the TC-12 in action under the title 'The Jolly Green Giant'?. What a machine that is.

When you cruise youtube and find your old crew, you miss logging even more.....
That is one seriously tough bulldozer. Talk about torque balls!!

That and some generous editing. I would ask if this was secretly neil giving himself props except he'd call himself a catskinner.
thats a beautiful Pete and it looks to be fairly new. I wonder what happend. Hope the drivers ok.
wow. it was a nice pete. see thats why I drive dry vans. kudos to log haulers!
Never heard of a 10 cylinder engine in a dozer like that, that one sure sounded like 6 cylinders..
bruce werner it's a 2 stroke that's why it sounds like that
Love that old Terex!

Yeah, don't try to adjust the air brakes from standing on the step reaching through the window.

Great operator wll done
che spettacolo....complimenti
on newer trailers the brakes lock when the air is diconnected
That's why you should never text and drive especially driving a logging truck😎
Looks like Jeff Bradshaw,("RUclips's""Elderly Iron: This Old Truck",
Author/Host on the sidelines!!
Were the brakes locked on the trailer on the way up from the wreck?
The dozer, terexs are heavy and petes are light (once the logs are off that is)
stuff like that happens all the time, it is the nature of the beast

Hope the driver was fine
I used to drive chip truck in the woods. 80'000 lbs and muddy roads, yehaa!
@Multimentalisti what makes you think drinking had anything to do with it?
I stand corrected. Would like to see your 82-30E in action.
givin that ole dresser a fit
That looks like a Terex 82-20B
hate to see a good logging truck go like that
Tractor verde pequeño pero muy potente!
heh,another day at work,i lost track of how many logging trucks i've picked up and set back on the road,at least it wasn't a thousand feet down !
Well that and the several violations we would have been issued for operating with saturated soil conditions. I did mention this is CA right?
in fact it was the whole axle - it sheared the U-bolts. It was a real asspain to move because i forgot to have the catskinner pick it up for me. It took about as long for me to move the axle as it did to get the rest of the truck
so how did it get down there..
Man, machine !
tryn to straightn the road out was he?
What kind of dolly is that?
@tdblues sounds like lyrics to a good ol country tune ha ha. Nothing but the truth man!
Thats what i was say...its a detroit in that dozer...nice sound!
I would definatly say thata a DD 2 stroker. Maybe a 4-71 or something.
AT LEAST THE WHEELS ARE POLISHED!!!
Hehe, they think about the insurance company now, bad nerves !
poor ol pete looked like a sweet truck, was it yours?
thats a nice bulldozer =D
Wheelie! :)
+tracks which provide alot of traction and low gears
HOLY SMACK THAT DOZER RULEZ.......
how you figure?
So was the guy drunk or stoned?
good thing the ground was dry, otherwise they would've been pulling the dozer and the truck up the hill :)
poor pete
wow!
i wonder what part of the ride did the driver think..OHH SHIT!!!!!!
este trator tem uma força monstruosa
@TugOwar трос был размотан всего на несколько метров, даже если бы он лопнул, люди стояли достаточно далеко и не пострадали бы
IT IS A WINCH!!! LOL
kalau di tempat ku, di panggil keretapilar menarik lori balak..
too bad. it looks fairly new..ouch!!!
stillenma it wasnt just the tires missing the front wheels were missing
good ol bullys. will do anything
where did this happen at? and how did this happen? i mean the road is dry and the road looks wider than most woods roads, unbelieveable
Is the truck reuuseable
Should have brought in a loader. Or got in and released brakes n or take iut of gear. Dont want to bend the truck frame. Could pick it off the ground and drug it up easier. Maybe.
really dose not look like that bad of a recovery job bose was thinking i just got new tires for that truck lol
santa cruz county CA, and the driver's fine, he wasn't in the truck.
is the truck thats towing have a w 12 diesel ?
that was expensive...
Unfortunately the winch is in the back...
This a wood, removal trees to the industries !
that ill buff out
they need a d10
karma...in its best form!
what the heck happened
I'm no expert; but, I'd say that wagon was f*cked !
should have attached the rope at the most rear axle.... simple physics...
How unfortunate .. damn nice Lookin log truck! Put er background together and get some logs! :)
yah ok but maybe all his brakes (fondation brakes, jake and so on) broke or whatever, then he would have come way too fast and there he goes... or whatever
must be an lcl driver gone to drive logging trucks in the states,
Did he keep his job ????
+slimchancetoo He was an independant operator
IC. Well I bet he wishes he had not done it.
Can u say.......... OOPS!
no its not... that can be buffed out in no time
So I said to myself why dont they start it up and release the park brake until I saw that the front axle was missing. LOL
Sorry bout the truck!
huston i found the problem
you lost your wheels and thats why you went off the road
lol
that suckz aslong as the driver was ok,, thats all that matters
2:33 i've heard something like "multikill" lol
Slightly used Peterbuilt log truck for sale.
Hope I am not being a pain, but I went through my annals and the 82-20 had a 6V71T. Has quadrajet viewed the TC-12 in action under the title 'The Jolly Green Giant'?. What a machine that is.
how can the truck go down luckyly it is not a road train
my father is a trucker
@Emzieroy I guess he didnt do it on purpose......
I bet he wishes he hadn't done it !!!!!!!!
I have triple deep 3/4 socket so i can cage the chambers with my cordless impact. that would have helped in this case.
@Jman955i Turn right now... ah wtf!
Terex dozer with a Detroit 2 stroke engine? rare if ever there was a production model.
All terex had detroits in them.
did you guys stop for a break and top up the oil in the terex? burnt like 5 gallons by the looks off it haha
i need a new axle for ma truck so i went and stole them but shhhhhh
Sure, rescue a truck with a bulldozer. Let's see you do it with a hand winch and a roll of scotch tape. Just kidding. Awesome video.
