am/fm waves.. but not the best quality.

Dont think oz has sat radio.

hey mate..

19 litre 600hp cummins QSK19. 15 speed box

[aerodyne666]

the draw bars are long because the trailers were swaying too much. The extra length made them more stable

[aerodyne666]

think you'd be in a lot of shit.. You cant just kill someone cause your driving a big truck.

[aerodyne666]

Reversing 2 trailers and a dolly takes a bit of practice, just learn how to control the dolly connecting the 2 trailers..You gotta learn to back 2 trailers onto your 3rd trailer in the road train assembly areas cause you cant just tow a triple from depot to depot.

Give it a go mate, heaps of jobs in WA ready to throw you straight into the deep end! ha ha

At 5:55, the planetary tridem (hubs) seems familiar - made by Sisu Axles Inc.?

600hp is quite a modest number considering the engine size and 285 GVW, anyway the torque is much more important, but... I don't know about the 15 spd and its capability but there're two variations of the 18 spd Road Ranger and the stronger one can stand max 3050Nm, the top torque must be reduced pretty much with nowadays' bigger engines, E-F should date its trannies for certain markets.

i drive for a company in WA who runs triple side tippers, getting dragged by tri-drive T604's, we're lucky enough to spend most of our time on bitumen but haha. good video cob. awesome.

Mate if u want to get into road trains to drive head too WA and NT

Seems to me they should be able to get Sirius satellite radio. They aren't geosynchronous like XM. A lot of Canadians like Sirius.

hey man where abouts you driveing these rigs? i was looking at getting into it can i chat wit you on msn or how can i chat with you?

[savageinthecongo]

now this probably has nothing to do with the truck its self, but i always wondered about this. see i live in the good ole' USA and when we get out of heavily populated areas we lose AM/FM coverage, so I use satellite radio. so the question i have for you is, do you use satellite radio, or do you get AM/FM waves? just a random question. :)
