I love the respect he has for other operators trucks. Always asking to touch and open things, not just expecting it.. great level of maners and good upbringing
I enjoy these no frills, limited edits, videos with the owners talking about their rigs. Thanks Bruce 😎
Folding pole trailers are a standard in East Tx/La. Back up with trailer brakes on and fold up. Winch does the rest.
I’ve drove a few R model Mack’s in my time . It’s a different ball game on shifting those trucks. They are tough trucks.
I agree. Grew up in and around those kind of Mack trucks. Still good solid trucks
Bet you have to be a he man to shift or the shift will break your arm.
That’s cool to see an old Logging Truck that’s not torn up. And self loading too. Normally trucks with similar set ups have the loader unload the dolly at the job site and then have another loader put the dolly back up on the truck at the mill.
That's a completely different setup than what you see here. The west coast loggers that you're talking about, the front bolsters are mounted to the truck instead of a fifth wheel and the trailer hooks to a pindle hook at the back of the frame on the truck. The setup we use that you see in the video is a folding pole trailer.
I grew up in East Texas, that mack log truck is very cool, I have seen many of those going up and down the roads of east Texas over the years.
You should visit the knife capital of Texas since your are in Texas.
I live in Florida and my pawpaw has been hauling logs for 46 years and I've been hauling for 12 years since I turned 18 and we still use folding pole trailers almost everyday! Only time we don't pull them is when we need our 4 bolsters to haul double bunk tops and what not.
Seeing an 88 Mack in that condition is virtually unheard of because of what those trucks are used for. Was really cool to see the inside of it and the engine.
The white freightliner is mine, I'll b back up there tomorrow am
Bruce another top video mate,the R model Mack log truck is Australian spec,they are here everywhere,they lower them by pulling them down by loader and fold them by backing them up with with trailer brakes on thanks for showing what the industry is like on the other side of the world
Nice video Bruce hope you had fun with the mini semi 😉 looks like a great turnout for the show.
Ryan is killin it with the videos. Nice work.
Back in the 70s, you could buy a chrome spring that had a clamp on one end and a cap on the other. You would clamp them to the bumper corners. They stuck past the body and would rub on the curb to let you know you were close. I believe they were called curb feelers. The kickstand on that truck? He might be using it for that purpose?
I remember those and "static straps" usually seen on Buick Electra 225s.
Awesome!!!! Hopefully you Enjoyed yourself and had some good Company around us Texans!!
That seemed like a good Ol' East Texas fella with the MACK
Nice Mack machine I drove one in the log woods in Mississippi for A year or so with a 6cyl maxidyne and triplex pulling A folding peerless trailer 60 foot logs no air conditioner that worked rough loud and smelled like diesel fuel and grease but I loved it
Hey Bruce Wilson that Mack truck that you where looking at was a nice looking truck and that big truck that you where in was sick it was so big if you had it I think that Amber would love too be with you all the time in it driving up and down the road.
It was great to finally meet you at the show.
See I like the round headlights on the Peterbilt then the other types like the red one in the the beginning of the video.
Some big round single headlights transform a truck in my opinion. I don’t like the swoopy new ones.
That White Freightliner is so old that it had a bingo card at one point!
Got to meet you earlier, truck looks amazing in person. So glad I seen this event on your CZcams channel otherwise I wouldn’t have even known it was happening in my town lol.
When I was hauling coal in western ky my boss bought me a brand new 86 R model
It had a 300 Mack motor with a 2 stick 6 speed transmission and 205 inch wheelbase
I drove it home from the dealership
It was all Mack
It was a great truck
Love the mack log truck and the black and orange pete
Lol Bruce is definitely lol Bruce is definitely a Florida man an not knowing much about them log trucks, the way they get up onto the truck is by the excavator who is loading the truck up, they load the trailer or unload the trailer depending on what they’re doing, whether it’s hauling to or coming from….. some of the fancy trucks up in the northwest have the hydraulic grapple built into the truck itself, it’s really cool to see them operate.!! Nice bud Bruce, I dig it.
I live in the northwest and see log trucks everyday, but I haven't seen a trailer quite like that.
Y'all got some good looking PETERCAR,S! And that Cabover FREIGHTLINER. I Had me a 1989 double bunk with a factory 240 wheel base 4¼ CATERPILLAR highly worked over with a 13spd.OOD. 3:91 Rear,s that old truck!! Put alot of big hood,s ta shame. And the R Model MACK is my all time favorite Truck. I really like em! My Grandfather had over 60 of them many of them R&RS700 couple with V12 Detroit Diesel,s and some with 375 MACK V8,s others with 350&300 and some with a big 855 & KTA Cummins aswell built in Hayward CA. I Love all them Dog,s MACK & SUPERLINER & BROCKWAY
You load the pole trailer at the trailer loading area at the mill that’s how you get the pole trailer up on the mack
Mack rears built by Spicer. Drop in pumpkins made it easier, and with way yoke and input is they could keep linking axles together.
Ventilation in a Mack cab was better then any others.
Round tank call, East,
Mac , dump trailer dealers
I stripped out an old rear engine lawn tractor which had a transmission made by Spicer. I'm in the process of polishing it for a hot rod themed lawn tractor go cart thing for the neighborhood kids out of parts I bring home from the dump.
Hi Bruce we have used those folding log trailers in Australia for decades very common some companies do use solid triaxle trailers but most use the fold up trailers. Cheers mare and great content.
Enjoy your vids,learned on a mack in the 70,s
Not a trucker, but enjoy seeing the cab overs on your channel.
Aaron was absolutely out of pocket with the pancake stomp comment in some random persons rig 🤣🤣🤣💀
He probably does it at his house
Bruce another reason about folding the trailer is to keep traction on the drive wheels going it the boggy bush to get logs
Can we respect the camera man for chasing these trucks to get the perfect shot of them with his phone 😂😂😂😂
Hi how do I hit you up exactly
Folding log trailers are common place here in Australia, definitely makes life easier
you have elphinstone that is a masterpiece
@@fuorisagoma yeah mate since 1976 👍, they also at that time, pioneered the installation of on vehicle weighing systems in Australia, they also provide accessories for the Antarctic research and supply industry, and although there are many different types/brands and designs, I do like theres
Its awsome seeing yall in my home town
🎵Big wheels rollin'.......movin' on!
Jammin' gears has got to be a fever....
It takes a special breed to be a truck drivin man
And to keep that load movin along🎵
Call them log jinkers in Australia
Dang I hate I missed you. You in my neck of the woods now. Was a damn good show.
Man that red pete was badassss! Love the round headlight setup too
Great truck show!!! I'm at the st.ignace, much crane memorial truck show. Awesome parade of lights. Check it out
That mack was just awesome !
GOTTA LUV R MODELS
LOOKIN GREAT BRUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It the Trucks very nice i like the video thanks you. I from Guatemala city Guatemala. I like from you
My Dad had a 1976 Mack painted the same just red and white pulled a white Palmer 24 ft dump trailer
The old white Cabover has a 200or250 Cummins in it.
She has a small cam 290, formula 2 setup. All original n cold ac. She my old rig
13:44 Drove many those R models. They rode fairly well. Scoot and boogie
THE CAB OVER OWNER IS AN OOIDA MEMBER, ME TOO.
i drove one exactly like that. same year as well. love those
I am Maxtronus Prime.
Vehicle mode: 1992 peterbilt 359XL long hood.
Te winch is hooked to the center and they locke they brakes on the trailer. They turn on the winch and it pulls the truck up under it
Small cam Cummins same as my 351 pete I pull my 631s and D8s around with.
WOOF some damn hansom men
It was a great truck show man glad I could make it
I really liked seeing the trucks in the show, I enjoy going to car shows but here in AU we don't really get truck shows, a nice change of pace.
My first truck was a 1977 K100 Kenworth. 108in, cab
Nice now you need a cool custom trailer with a bunch of restored tractors on the back.
Good evening Bruce, my first truck was a 85 Mac. I think it had a 5and4 for a transmission. The last year for the 5 and 4 if I remember correctly. Steve from N.B Canada
Beautiful trucks. I’m on the fence about a cdl. I love trucking but society is changing and I don’t like the direction trucking seems to be heading. If anything i would want to join a small fleet, preferably where my boss isn’t afraid to hop in a rig the same as the rest of us. I currently run a yard dog
Do a split tank on the passenger side fuel tank that how we did all our trucks at work and you wouldn’t even know it was there
Air Diors.... for business purposes.
I was looking for this comment
Old White Freightliner looks like a 335 Cummins
Her heart is a small cam 290, my weekend rig
Theres some beatiful tractors there like going to vintage car show.long island used to these showd before pandemic no more
So you guys haven't seen a log truck trailer? All over the NW up here. Some trucks have a "self loader" AKA built on hydraulic crane/ grapple, which can load/ unload the trailer as well as load logs. Otherwise the yarder/ other equipment at the log site unloads the trailer, then loads logs. Many mill yards have a trailer loader--a cage frame hoist device to lift trailer back onto truck. Unloading trailer:
czcams.com/video/K6wS-ztMLok/video.html
Loading trailer onto truck:
czcams.com/video/3ouljbwW0nA/video.html
Because of the way the tongue/ hitch is rigged, these trailers rear axles steer the thing to the outside of a turn, allowing operation on tight turns/ dozer built narrow log roads
Watched the video twice. Great content.👍🏽👍🏽
Dude-red button-13 speed, grey button 18sp, blue button 8ll, no button, ten speed.
Yea thats common around here in east texas my dad actually has one exactly like it but all gray. that truck was at draggin and pulling in the pines last year in october very nice truck
Good ole boy with the Mack letting you sit in it and telling you everything you asked. Thanks Bruce.
The old white freightliner either got a 335 or 290 Cummins small cam it has got no after cooler on the LHS of the engine
Hey Bruce, go see Wade Wardlow’s Peterbilt while you’re there in Nacogdoches, Tx sir. His is also very clean
Love all the trucks
Cool R model Mack
I drove an R model just like that for many years
Really nice trucks Bruce Iliked that logging truck that thing was sweet. Of course blue collar looked awesome thanks for sharing Bruce 👍
I wanna see you do some hauling videos with the dodge ram with the gooseneck
Great video, good content!, thanks Bruce!!!
Dang that’s right by me May have to come out tom
That used to be a common sight in Mississippi
Overhead worm drive style axles on those macks ..transverse sprung rear axles ...
Thats a freighliner back when white was part of the company. They sold out to freighliner in 1978 inthink
They use the cultivator to pick it up like a grapple yard Grappler to pick it up and set the back of it down and then when it gets unloaded they use it to pull it back up and set it back up on top
Best truck in my opinion. Mack RD
5:14 is my friend's rig... small cam, all original...
keep the clips coming
Wow that was a great video. Keep on trucking
