  1. Here are some Macks I came across in Dunedin. This old R model is in awesome shapeThey still use most of their old MacksI've been told next time I'm down we can have a look and see at all three yards! Can't wait!
  2. Paul, the transporters as they are called here are much different than our low beds. Deck over axle here makes them much shorter but the loads are a lot higher. The big forest machine I moved last was 5 meters high! That would be difficult in the states. The job has been very interesting and scary fun too! Drove my first Nissan last week too450 HP with 42,000lb rears and 18 speed

  5. Jim, take a left a Albuquerque! Here is what I was up to last weekrainbow in Bluff,NZtug pulling ship out of portForestry machinery I had the 5 rows of eightthe trailer weighs 27 ton aloneall the axles steer from the fifth wheel so you pull the trailer as if you were bob tailing or you would over steer and wipe out everyone in the other lane. This is perfect for the narrow logging roadsMy helper, he's a good worker
