That thing is stunning. Very nicely  done. 

Gotta love those shepherds. It’s been hot the last week or so and my mutts love the sprinkler and our pond. If the sprinkler isn’t on they dash over to the pond for a soak.

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.

Marketed by the Ansul Company, this was their "Magnum 480" model, carrying 300 gallons of premixed water/foam and 1350 pounds of dry chemical agent.

 

So does that 1350 pounds of dry agent make multiple batches or must one with the 300 gal of water?

That sucker looks tough with the super singles all the way around

Incredible David. You are a blessed man to have the opportunity to see all of that. Good work keep the pics coming.

Bought new by Belger Crane OKC, and Ford made plenty heavy spec L9000, you never saw a L9000 logger, Actually it was really good truck Hendrickson spring, moved some pretty big loads and never let us down, I got pictures of it coming across I 70 in Utah with a 13 axle trailer, coming down that last pass before Greenriver is pretty cool.  that trailer on the Ford normally would have a 3 axle jeep front so figure the weight on the fifth wheel and that's how we ran it around Ghana, no problems.

No I have never seen a L9000 logger in my neck of the woods. 98% KWs and Pete’s with the occasional international and very very rare (I’ve only seen one) Mack. See lots of L9000 tandem grain trucks and dump trucks but that’s about it. 

Yep emissions killed the modern diesel truck.

My Ford L9000 in Tema Ghana Africa delivering GE TM 2500 for Volta River project.

Since you’re in the heavy haul business I assume the L9000 is heavy specd?  I had never heard of a heavy specd L9000 so I was curious if they made one or you just made do with one. Thanks

Don’t forget about the obligatory wallet chain in the super trucker starter kit. Oh and the 100 ounce mega tanker of Mountain Dew. 

Wow just looked up Iowa derecho to see what it was. Hope all is well with you mid westers and hope all the Mack’s were hid inside

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. 

Glad you’re ok BMack, bummer about the accident but it always could’ve been worse.

Look on YouTube and there are some videos of news stories where he shows the care running and drives it with only water coming out of the tail pipe. He even briefly explains how it works if memory serves me. 

Their was a man in the news here in the states that made a car run in hydrogen from water. Met with government officials at a restaurant, and ran choking out of it saying they poisoned me and he died. Legit story I’m guessing with lots of lobbyist behind it. 

Wow. Couldn’t imagine having that much money and equipment to be able to buy a new machine and let it set. They say the 3rd generation of a family business usually fails. I assume it’s because the 3rd gen never say gramps and gram bust their butts to make a go of it. So in the 3rd gens eyes it’s always been easy so just sell it.

Perhaps the members who disagree with the politics of the union ought to vote in leaders more in line with their beliefs? Continually electing the same corrupt leaders while expecting a change in attitude or direction isn't far off from the definition of insanity: repeating the same thing over & over again expecting different results. It just isn't going to happen.

Most of the union members wouldn’t want to vote in someone who would expect them to work and not let them get away with whining, protesting without any repercussions or protect them from being fired no matter what. The Dems promise them free stuff and more of it for a vote just like they promise people on the dole who refuse to work more free stuff for a vote. 

Cool truck, nice pics. Keep ‘em coming and above all fun with it. 

My dad for years hauled his 1959 D6 B model on a tilt bed trailer pulled by a 1961 corn binder with a big gas V8. He was a master at feathering that cat just enough to gently set the tilt bed down. 

Well I guess you couldn’t drive that truck without pants on. I’m out. 😁
