Nice truck! But manual tranny???? Probably cheaper! :)

[JimHowDigsDirt]

@EucPete I don't understand that either. They demoed an automatic before they got this one. Maybe it didn't work out that great for them because I know money is no object for this company.

[EucPete]

@JimHowDigsDirt MMMM if money is no object the it's really strange!!

why not use a hayes or Pacific?

[JimHowDigsDirt]

@clovakid We don't have any of those trucks here in the maritimes. If we do, they are rare.

That's one heck of a nice truck!

[Bennyboy46a]

Wonder why they went with the 8LL instead of the allison tranny? The demo unit had tha llison and it was great around the mine.

[JimHowDigsDirt]

Yeah, I don't understand that either. An automatic would work much better in there.

Impressive fame!

[JimHowDigsDirt]

Sure is. It has quadruple frame rails. They weighed a load of coal on it and it scaled a 48 metric ton payload. (about 106,000lbs.)
