Pics from the North

[Bullheaded]

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.

BH what part of the woods are you in ? must be way north

First pic- the burgundy poospreader.

What are the hoses going into the tandems? Is that some kind of manual inflate/deflate for muddy roads?

[mowerman]

i was wondering that myself.....thanks for sharing...bob

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.

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.

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.

MT-Thx- makes sense-I imagine also  helps  with  the fire danger if  a lot of the highly combustible stuff gets some cover.

I love the look of the lone star.  They look great going down the road   For some reason they remind me of that movie maximum overdrive

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.
