Popular Post Bullheaded Posted May 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2020 I'll just pile these in one thread to save time. Some pics I snapped while waiting to load throughout the day. Western Star, Kenworth and International pretty much own the forest up here now ever since Volvo abandoned Mack from the heavy market. I love the Lonestar logger. Some can say they are plastic junk but they can survive the bush road with a 5 axle trailer. 6 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62682-pics-from-the-north/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 First pic- the burgundy poospreader. What are the hoses going into the tandems? Is that some kind of manual inflate/deflate for muddy roads?

david wild Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Ya'll need to get out more, tire inflation, very popular south of the border but then again we are last to pick up on anything innovative. VW pickup in Mexico 11k us dollars and they run the crap out of them and what do we get 50k pick up, I'll take the VW anyday.

Bullheaded Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Yes, it is central tire inflation system. They work good, increase traction and decreases rutting in soft roads. But it is very expensive. Got a pic of the headache rack on the green Star. I love these!! I have seen a few now, but can't seem to find out who makes them. Oh...I'm in White River, Ontario Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62682-pics-from-the-north/#findComment-452208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Technician Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Nice pic grabs. Lonestar are, I my opinion, the coolest modern chassis on the market and that road goat basher is frosting on the cake.

Ok I give up...The Orange W'Star that is pulling that big skidder-what are those road "wheels" on the end of the skidder?

Biomass agitators......earth breakers. They use them for pine plantations and clear cuts. It doesn’t drive, just agitates earth as it rolls, crushes seeds and sticks into the earth for better forest recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62682-pics-from-the-north/#findComment-452243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT-Thx- makes sense-I imagine also helps with the fire danger if a lot of the highly combustible stuff gets some cover. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62682-pics-from-the-north/#findComment-452248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgumby Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 I love the look of the lone star.

other dog Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Nice pictures, thanks! I like the Lonestars too, they are definitely eye catchers, but I see a lot of those new Western Stars on the road now. I don't know what you call them, or the model, but they're some of the best looking trucks out there in my opinion. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
