Volvo FH12 PUSHER on slippery Norwegian roads

[nonskidding]

It is a pity that they should not be aware of the simple tool to save vehicles on ice.

[Ghostwind1975]

What is the name of that trucking company?

[Stefanesai]

Thats why you call a tow truck :-)



[johntaheri]

how come the 2th def doesn't work ?

[65crewcabpw]

As they say, nothing runs like a Deere :)

[mrnjutto]

that truck sholdnt even be in snow, its a fucking pusher for heavens sake...

[Norgefee]

@mrnjutto Sorry to say that but I have been driving exactly this 'fucking pusher'  and it wasn't all THAT bad to get along. After all it went on the tiniest side-roads to load on farms summer and winter and did well for quite a few years.....And on this farm where the movie was made even a boggie would have gotten stuck that day.

[maledettoGT]

I don't get why euro trucks have the 3rd axle to traction. Wouldn't it have more traction if the 2nd axle was the traction axle?

I also saw a video from the UK where a Scania with same layout couldn't go up a hill because the 3rd axle would lift and lose traction...

[miguelalgarra]

@maledettoGT

If you have boggie (3rd axle) rear axle you can take a higer load, more tonns, and when needed you can raise the boggie axle for better traction. If the wheight on the axle is to high you have a switch to force the axle up and then get more wheigt on the drive wheels.

[Jodadez]

Great! I enjoyed it!

[caddyisoffline]

ouu !! murder!!

[MinnesotaTrucking]

[muffacruff]

[muffacruff]

first, you need a certificate:-D

[Iceeeen]

Pusher, usch.

Can't tell how much I hate that stuff, was to the russian border in Finland some days ago. Nearly slicks with a pusher, It's quite good roads there, just some centimetres of snow, enough to have problem in every fucking hill.

Was in Norway to Ål the same day as the first snow came in October this year with the same truck. Remember how I heard on the radio about snow in Bergen closing in to Oslo and having a bad feeling going back empty to Sweden with that truck

[mstruckerboy]

Trailer på vinterføre går dårlig i nynsnø ja, men mye snø var det helt klart! Grom lyd var det i John Deere'n og! :-D

[prerapoco]

for liten å puslat traktorn å da-.-" 4-5 tonn hjelp mer som lite mot en lastebil...

[Patterdale100]

they spend million's of dollers developing these why not use the tow bar

[justforever96]

That's why 2WD sucks.

[rowsand]

what he dont have chain on?

[DanielJohansen92]

Chain and on-spon is on.

[greina1]

@rowsand onspot doesn't help when the weels spin....

[geati6783]

that small tires suck in snow :/

[TheMullar]

pusher helvette, tandem med air dump som er tingen.

[mokasynowy]

he have to reverse and try one more time, not only give gass

[DanielJohansen92]

switched from forward and reverse many times, but it does not work. Come either forward or back.

It doesn't help much to reverse when they have dug themselves stuck in a pit :p

[KilledbiDeath]

Quite helpless without load...Would be fun to see the Ice Road truckers in Norway...Wouldn't get offf plain land with their wartime equipment

[ReinoR1200rt]

@KilledbiDeath yea its like watching the dinasours

[ROMEKCOMADOMEK]

Kurwa ! gdzie spedytor go puścił ?

[B757204]

Impressive vid

It's an Embaressment over here, you guys in norway & other Scandinavian countries get 50-80cm, as mentioned in the decription.

you see people getting stuck in the UK in 10cms of the stuff!

[GamelsmurfXXX]

@B757204 -Mostley there from other contrys who gehts stuck ower here, they dont come close to ower tiers...on the semis

[Varg29]

@B757204 well, i'm not british but i will guess that teh tires in england and generally driving knowlegde is a bit different then here. but thats just a guess...

[maritahakansson]

ja fy för norge vintertid har åkt mycket där snökedjor av o på o dessa stup usch

[666Vredesbyrd]

Jeg liker a kjore i Sverige pa vinteren, det er ikke bakke og du kan kjore fortere enn Norge.

[karistua]

tandem er tingen

[mstruckerboy]

@karistua Det er sant, men er ikke noe særlig med tandem når du ska kjøre langtransport og ratt kjøre på mange trange steder, eter dekk vett. Men enig med deg her i hvertfall, hehe! :-D

[narvik01]

Kæm fan som kjøre me pusheraksel i norge på vintern??

[Pashman84]

I know such Situations!

But i don´t need a tractor to pull me out! ^^

To Norway u can drive only as a hardcore-trucker!

Only a Tour for hard man! *hehe*

[Jorgen87]

well, In Norway we can have roads that noone can get from easy. Every winter we got lines of trucks and trailers from Poland, Estonia, Spain and they do NOT have chains with them..so a american trucks would NOT fit into our winter.

[Pashman84]

I´m from Austria, and i have always new tires and 6 chains in/on my truck.i know hard winters.

But in April i got hanging near Trondheim.WITH the chains ^^

But polish and spain cant´t drive with a truck..Not in Winter and not in Summer..

Greets to Nord-Norge *woohooo*

[mstruckerboy]

@Pashman84 Nice that you understand you need to have good tires and chains when you are driving on norweigan "ice roads", if I should call it that. :-)

[mstruckerboy]

@Jorgen87 True. American trucks are too long for norwegian roads. USA is a flat and huge country, so they can drive with longer trucks there, without any problems. But here in narrow and icy Norway, it's not going to work out very well. If it's a bulldog it is a different story though.

[josieldeassis]

OMG...

..this was awful!

[mcCORMICMTX185]

john deere <3

[saqaaf]

European truck tyres are so small.

[TheRatPack168]

Do you know why?

[Pashman84]

look better m8!

It´s an nordic truck!

3 Axes!

[audirs2man]

pusher er ikke vinterbil...

[matisu3]

@audirs2 man hva er en pusher egentlig?

[audirs2man]

@matisu3 En pusher som denne volvoen har drivaksel bakerst, og løfteaksel i midten, En boggi trekker løfter den bakerste aksel, mens en tandem trekker drar på begge bakakslene, man har også 2 akslet trekker som brukes mere i europa, eller som står i en bakke nord for sinsen på vintern.. boggi eller tandem er klart en fordel her til lands =)

[matisu3]

@audirs2man haha, åja ;) takk!

[Andy22031991]

OMG! Volvo, Volvo, Volvo ... hophophop!!! 5*

[outlawracer2229]

That why he keeps moving the tractor around 2 or 3 times and right back to the same spot? It starts to move, he stops pulling.

[outlawracer2229]

The idiot on the tractor doesn't have a clue on how to pull a truck out!

[stoparret]

Huh? What makes you say that? There chains are hooked to reinforced points on the truck, and they weren't shocking the tow cable. It seems to me that there was just too much weight, snow, and poor traction. The truck may have been left the reinforced road and become bogged in soft earth.

[sisutrucks]

its a volvo, cant pull hard on them without special equipment.

[mstruckerboy]

@sisutrucks That's bullshit man...

[sisutrucks]

@mstruckerboy whats that now?

[mstruckerboy]

@outlawracer2229 You have to be dumb too I guess. If you had time, you would sit here on YouTube and comment every single driver, just because he doesn't think just as you did!
