@@johnnyskjoldpedersen5348 thank you - that's a kind of critical comment one's happy to take on board. I like putting music in, but will think more about sound balance and finding the right track next time. I never expected this video to soar to such popularity

I took that video myself, there's no interruption :-) The trains themselves are not that long: they are connected by a rigid bar for the crossing only, to make it up the slope

@tzitzitlini fair enough

you can't photoshop a video, it would have to be all ai. but you can easily do a search and see that this is legal in certain roads all over australia

@synapticburn fair enough. I'll watch you tube videos more carefully. I've certainly seen ai or computer game videos, which are pretty obvious.

I’m from Australia. They are real and not even the biggest. Most of Australia is largely undeveloped. Big deserts in the middle and west, big swampy forests in the far north. Australia is the same size as the bottom 48 states with 8% of the population.

I agree - the idea was to add some irony, but it looks like it was lost on many. Boosted the views up though :-)

Thank you for your informed opinion, dear sir, much appreciated.

@@tzitzitlini Pasting my reply to a previous, (obnoxious), post. "Not my chosen genre in music either but it doesn't stop me watching something fun. I just kill the audio and put on Sabbath!" Obviously, the music or lack thereof on any clip is up to the creator. How we as viewers deal with it is up to us. Edit" Appropriate Sabbath track would be "Planet Caravan". Personal opinion of course.

@@Damoinion I didn't know that song - thanks, loved it. I'm sure though that if I used that track for the video hundreds of people would come only to tell me how boring and inappropriate it was :-)

@@tzitzitlini Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, going to get haters everywhere. Best thing we can do is take the plus from those who say nice things, then shrug off the nasties and carry on, knowing we made someone's day better :)

Quite right about the song - I thought it would add an ironic twist, supported by the bubbles in the video :-) Also, don't forget the wheels of the vehicle on the second trailer and the Lancruiser!

Nope, you're completly wrong. 2 of the trailers literally had super singles so that makes it 6 wheels. And with all the spares including the one on the landcruiser. It all sums up to 135 wheels.

Thanks for letting me know - I'll make sure it plays at your funeral mate

It's two trucks joined by a stiff bar, both running their own engines

It's called "Feel" when connected by stiff bar

I think it's because of the bridge weight limits on the interstate highways. Certainly not like that in Alberta Canada. The US guys are weighing in at 80 thousand pounds, I pull just under 140 every day unless I'm on an oilfield road then anything goes!

@lovesloudcars the basic weight for a semi in Australia is 42.5 tonnes which is 93,500 pounds.

@@martindaubert1636 That's a single prime mover and 1 trailer. What you have there are 2 units of Type 2 Road Trains, which if rated high mass limit is up to 124.5 tonnes each ... and you have two of those. I noticed some of the loads with "Deltareef" markings - that's a prefab construction and civil engineering company in North East Arnhem Land. That could be close to to 250 tonnes there.

@martindaubert1636 that's just over what I carry. Then the truck and wagon which I think you call a quad dog weighs just over 21.

Nope, count again :-)

Could have made the point without the burn at the end. Too much time on Facebook, Tony?

Not familiar with irony as a trope? Oh sure, they don't really teach literature at schools these days...

Joined by a stiff bar for crossing

Shit comment - we're even :-)

@@keithatate3050 quite right, reason no 1 😊 getting up a steep bank n the other side

Thanks fo watching cap :-)

135

They had a bar between them to double the horsepower, not unusual at the Top End.

On an unsealed road? tough expectations :-)

Even in Australia there are limitations (which can vary by state/road) on the size of vehicles on public roads.

@@tzitzitlini

Maximum allowed is 4 trailers but both 3 trailer and 4 trailer road trains have the same maximum length of 53.5 metres.

@harukinzaphod really? The ones I saw must have been illegal then

And the Landcruiser?

There's no spares on the first trailer, the real number is 135.

Have you watched it all?

Sorry I didn't accommodate your choice of music :-)

It was a good song choice, didn’t have to count the wheels, obviously 18 wheelers 😂

@@onyabikejoe7643 that was my attempt at irony :-)

bout the ATV?

@@jarnosaarinen4583 ATVs have handle bars not a steering wheel 😂😂 good call tho

If you crossed that river with a bicycle you would have be dinner for a crocodile.

It was towing the second truck.

The water is not that deep indeed - but a) the creek bed can be soft: don't need to tell you what happens to a loaded truck going through half a meter deep soft mud. That's why they use tractors. However, here it's a different problem (we know the creek bed is hard enough). The exit on the other side (not in the video) is VERY steep and trucks lose traction.

@@tzitzitlini good nuff for me 👍😃

They Link up for the Crossing & you never know whats under the Water there, it shifts all the time!

Never seen a tractor pull triples, doubles, or even singles. You'll find tractors on farms. Seen prime movers pulling them though.

It's very steep coming out of the south side of that river I've been stuck there myself lol

Not all - just a few odd haters, and definitely nothing from this channel. I live and work in an aboriginal community not far from this site :-)

More free houses for them (to rack & ruin)

What about the troopy? :-)

Proper firewood would be cheaper
