B MACK Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 The other week I was hauling some waste dirt and grass, ( hauled same stuff to the same dump site the day before). But this day my Kenworth laid down. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63669-kenworth-laid-down-on-the-job/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex g Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Too bad it looks like it went over easy. Hopefully not too much damage. That looks like a side dump trailer. I've never saw one where I'm from in Ontario Canada. Everyone here is running belt unloader trailers. Not even many dump trailers anymore Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63669-kenworth-laid-down-on-the-job/#findComment-458001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

B MACK Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Yes is a side dump . Ground was solid and compacted and basicly level, I don't know why it flopped over that day? It went over very slow and was a soft landing. only broke mirror head and snapped the hood straps. And yes, the pride... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63669-kenworth-laid-down-on-the-job/#findComment-458018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david wild Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Maybe the dirt froze in the dumper and it fell over, pretty good story to me even if it is August. It's what my help would tell me ?? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/63669-kenworth-laid-down-on-the-job/#findComment-458021 Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I think I remember seeing a picture of a Mack RD 800 or DM 800 with the dump laying over on its side and the cab still sitting upright.

B MACK Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 Thanks for the thoughts. It was down for a week cuz the shop was busy with other things so I was running a different tractor for a bit . This one is back at it again. This " Kenny" is ok, a regular T800 is better than the T880 , ( my thoughts anyway ) . But I would really enjoy being in my superliner..

Was over in your neck of the woods recently and I see there is a super liner dump truck parked next to some equipment at Stanton creek. I know I know I should’ve stopped for a pic.
