Popular Post B MACK Posted March 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 My buddy is up north, west of Dead Horse. He sent me some picts of the road building, A couple of the water trucks had trouble driving on the edge . They build the roads with ice chips and lake water and snow sometime. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56070-ice-roads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicrop10 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I would think the 16h grader would be a little heavy for the ice roads? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56070-ice-roads/#findComment-417739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post B MACK Posted March 9, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2019 They have a few 14's , but mostly 16 h's and g's. Weight isn't a problem. The ice is thick. And the road is on land, over top of the tundra. Here is a drilling rig being moved to another site. 65 feet wide, 200+ feet high, and I think it's 2.3 million pounds. Notice the C500 Kenworth hooked to it. It's something the way they do things up there. Like a 345 excavator and D9 on the same trailer together.. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56070-ice-roads/#findComment-417741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
B MACK Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 I should have said "notice the C500 Kenworths" . There are two 1000 HP C500's hooked to the front, and dozer if needed and the 16 blade is hooked to the rear , if they need some breaking help , the blade and ripper bar go down and the 16's tires are no longer on the ground.

B MACK Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 Oops, I screwed up with my model letters, they have a few old g's but mostly 16 h's and newer 16 m's. The one my buddy runs now is a 16m. His old blade was a 16h , set up with a 20 foot mold board... Bout all I can do with a blade is put it on a lowboy, haul it up in the woods on a logging job, off load it and plow out a turn around so I head back to town. Haven't totally figured out the M's with the joy sticks yet..
