Popular Post B MACK Posted May 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2019 I am sure this has been seen before. I miss placed my good photo, so I took a picture of a picture. When I was logging , I worked in areas of this private road. It was an every day thing pulling doubles or triples . This World Record load gross weight was just under 700,000 pounds. The pict doesn't show it,, there are 7 off hyway loads behind the pete. Logging has slowed from what it was , the reload at the south end of the company road is gone now. This is how it was gone in western Montana. There is a video of this record load. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57407-7-loads-world-record/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Great stuff Is the video on YouTube?? I know the world record for road trains is in Australia It was 24 trailers and then I think it went out to 50 trailers Do you have any photos of the 2 / 3 trailer log trucks Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57407-7-loads-world-record/#findComment-423818 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you do need a fare whack of power torque and momentum to shift bigger weights at any sort of speed Having said that it still is quite a impressive feat, that many trailers along a dirt road with by today's ststandards very little horse power If people could even begin to try and understand just how much traction is needed to lift off with a load like that let alone add a gravel road And who has seen this video Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57407-7-loads-world-record/#findComment-423913 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Im guessing there is all out and none of the trailers have maxis Or the the brakes are all backed off They say it's on level ground in the commentary Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57407-7-loads-world-record/#findComment-423931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS7 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 A lot of fake ads back then, that was fake. I remember that ad very well, a lot not shown how they did that. But really I think a Ford was pulling the Chevy. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57407-7-loads-world-record/#findComment-423956 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 That ad was from 1974 as I was a freshman in high school and remember seeing it on the television in the library. Only went to that school the one year. I too questioned what went on "behind the scenes" to make the commercial.

Probably able to kick it into neutral and get it to roll what little bit it moved in the ad. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

B MACK Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 The Peterbuilt had a 350 cummins, 5x4 Spicer boxes , SSHD rears. Not sure how low geared they were. The road fallowed Thompson river , basically level , slightly down grade. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57407-7-loads-world-record/#findComment-424039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
