ThaddeusW Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 http://www.etrucker.com/apps/news/article.asp?id=57763Interesting how it will feature the MP8 engine at its maximum power of 485HP! If I recall the MR never had an engine over 400HP. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack 3P Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 There's more about the truck in the latest Bulldog Magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Well, I suppose- after 30 years, we can tolerate a little spiffing up of the MR... Especially since they kept the round headlights. The new dash was probably a cost saving move, and an adjustable steering column would be a good thing. That said, they shoulda raised the roof a bit while they were at it- with an air seat the taller drivers will still be banging there head on the MR's roof.The MP8 engine opens up some new possibilities though- The MR may be crude, and there's no sleeper option, but with well over 400 horses it could pick up some of the customers DCX abandoned when they deported the Argosy.

granitefan713 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'm glad to see the MR(TerraPro) is available with higher horsepower becasue I imagine those 7-axle concrete pumpers must have been tough to move with only 400.

GearheadGrrrl Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Perhaps Schwing has an even bigger concrete pumper in the wings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Perhaps Schwing has an even bigger concrete pumper in the wings?Concord (Concord's Website) is build ing 65M pumps on Mack MR chassis's, with 460 HP. I don't know how well they cool though.It's 125,000 lbs PLUS!!Schwing builds a 61M, Putzmeister a 63M. Pretty much all the others have 52 and 55M booms too.The measurement is from the ground to the tip, with the boom vertical.I run a 36 M and it reaches 118' straight up, and it'll reach 95' from the front bumper....the 65M Concord has double that, 190'. My 36M Schwing weighs 64,000 lbs. Pwered by 285 HP, and a mountain-eating 6 speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM6285 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I drove an MACK MR series truck with a Warren Bulk feed tanker over it. Nice one.I wonder if I can request the mount of a larger WARREN Bulk Feed tanker over one of those amazing 7-Axle MACK MR and Terra Pro TRUCKS.....
