Popular Post Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hi everyone, Haven’t been on in a dogs age and still in New Zealand. Not milling any more and shifted to portable crushing. Loving Central Otago and this beautiful area. We are in week four of lock down here. Hope everyone is staying safe and well. Cheers, Tim 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddeere Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Welcome back . I often wonder what happens to those who we do not hear from in a while. Lost interest or something worse. 220 Cummings, Killer B, and Willie Dog just to name a few. Super dog is back. With his past health issues I was concerned.

j hancock Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hello Tim! Glad you are doing well! Always appreciate the scenery pictures. How does the new neighborhood weather/seasons compare to the NEK now that you have been there for a day or two? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Thanks guys! Good to see the posts and catch up. Jim, hope your well in NH as well as you Ed Deere and Bullheaded. Looking pretty scary in the states at the moment. We are going from level 4 to level 3 next week and I should be back at work. Jim we have 5 types of weather within driving distance and we now live in the desert. It’s like southern Utah here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I have a friend in New Zealand I email back and forth with Tim. One thing I notice, there seems to be a lot of people that have pride in their trucks and equipment there. He sends me pics and there seems to be a lot of really nice rigging in your country. That float trailer on the Star....is that one of those ones that changes width hydraulically? I've seen them used in Australia and always wondered why they never caught on over here for over width loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them used in Australia and always wondered why they never caught on over here for over width loads. The “truckies” here love to show their pride. Especially the night drivers with the glow. The trailers are hydraulically widened. I think they didn’t catch on in the states due to the height issue. Here we go high with the equipment due to the roads. If you look in my pictures, you’ll see the low loader I got new here in 2015. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70mackMB Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Tim is this the expandable trailer? lt looks like it was done where it is with the dirt pushed up by the two center wheels. And are there steerable axles with a spread like that? .....Hippy On 4/24/2020 at 12:08 AM, Timothy Maikshilo said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would set the tractor brakes and release the trailer when possible to help save the tires and road. This trailer the axles do not steer. The load divider also expands. In this picture of this trailer, the axles steer by the action of the fifth wheel. Pull this trailer as if you were bob tailing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Very impressive equipement and nice scenaries I'm not getting upset to be looking at. Really nice to hear from you Tim. Hope you're doing well during the lockdown and get a use for the time. Here we are also locked but not really tight. Many folks continue doing current jobs including truckers and many small businesses which can work behind closed gates. Same with me tinkering with old Macks and selling a part for MB from time to time. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
