gearhead204 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Second that Slpwlker! that would take longer to chain down than load. never been lucky enough to load one on a trailer that easy.........I always needed a log truck load of timbers Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38527-fulton-hogans-404-kw-and-627b-scraper/#findComment-275258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Maikshilo Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 nice scraper trailerFor sure slpwlker, all the functions on the trailer are hydraulic. One can rise or lower each side of the suspension to level the load and the ramps come down with a simple push.Second that Slpwlker! that would take longer to chain down than load. never been lucky enough to load one on a trailer that easy.........I always needed a log truck load of timbers gearhead, having the trailer widen hydraulically you can get in between and chain down equipment easier also. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38527-fulton-hogans-404-kw-and-627b-scraper/#findComment-275265 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I think someone was pulling your leg about the 600 cummins in that truck. I think 550/580 was the limit. Nice truck but, sharp looking!

Timmyb Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 A little history about that truck. It's actually a t404 sar. Kenworth first made the sar back in the mid 70's. It ran they until 1987. Then in about 2003/4 they re released it as the truck you pictured. The sar stand for "short australian righthand drive" and was the first Kenworth designed in Australia.
