Brian71583 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I forget the details of the system from when we built the truck but it has some kind of aftermarket AWD system. It was something weird if I remember right. Not your average system Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56729-granite-blimp-mast/#findComment-420659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect job for a new emission motor too.....never has to run or move, They could have saved themselves some money and just towed a boat anchor around to hold the blimp. They'll have to tow the granite from landing site to landing site anyways.

ppsyclone Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 This truck uses the EZ Track hydraulic system to achieve all wheel drive. There are hydraulic hub motors in each wheel driven by a hydraulic pump off the PTO. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56729-granite-blimp-mast/#findComment-421370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
