Popular Post Jamaican Bulldog Posted June 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2019 After the truck show at Macungie I took the usual tour at plant. This unusual AWD tractor had just come off the line. It had huge float tires all around and wasn’t for a military customer. Not sure who the end user is or what application but interesting. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57702-unusual-awd-mack-granite-tractor-at-factory/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 That is cool. Reminds me of the first RM I ever saw....with the single tires on the rear.

Jamaican Bulldog Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 The axles looked like Meritor similar to the AWD military dump truck they had displayed outside. It seems like for AWD applications Mack don't use their own axles anymore just Meritor.

Bullheaded Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I like those 6x6's. I built a lot of logging roads many years ago with a 6X6 Paystar 5000 and it was a blast. Those things will go anywhere. I always wanted a Mack RM 6x6.

BGarofalo Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 That was an interesting truck. The guy that was working there said he thought the truck was heading to Colorado. I’ve seen some home built transfer case mounts that are pretty scary. The mount in that truck looked beautiful. Factory looking I guess... lol Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57702-unusual-awd-mack-granite-tractor-at-factory/#findComment-425495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
