In 1988, Mack Trucks Australia made 16 special edition SuperLiner II Bicentennials with the E9-500 V8, Mack 12 speed triple countershaft transmission, Mack front and rear axles, long taper-leaf springs on front and camelback on the rear, Spicer 1810 HD driveshafts and 5842mm (230 inch) wheelbase. The special limited edition models were named after people influential to Australian history, including James Cook, Captain Bligh, Ludwig Leichhardt, Governor Phillip, Ned Kelly, Kingsford Smith, and John Flynn William Hovell.
@davewrathall1985 Pretty sure it's a 3 1/2" pin because that's what they use on roadtrains with more than 2 trailers and most likely big loads like this.
Top stuff mate, the old girl sure is leaving some tread! what diffs are you running in the superdog, still the camel back with mack diffs or upgraded to rockwell 60,000 pounders?
2 reasons for the high intakes, 1, Cleaner air - less dust get drawn in, not really applicable here I know, but in off road applications, important 2, Cooler air - In central OZ, 40-45 degress C is common and the road temps would go 50+ co the theory is the further away the air intakes are from the road the cooler the air, thus denser air gaining modest increase in HP. I don't know if any one done the science on it but it's common and most inportantly, its looks good
If you watch it is quite obvious that the driving wheels on both trucks are turnng faster than the truck is travelling. It just stands out more on the Mac because of the smoke and rubber on the road.
@GrafiteCityLux mate a big wa1200 komatsu loader like that would take about 22weeks to full assemble cab and tyres and all the parts to get it working so id say no quicker on the back
I know Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Jaime Johnny thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Its really hard to imagine- all that weight being pulled by a 2 1/4 inch pin in the second truck's fifth wheel... boggles my mind. TECHNICALLY pulled by 1/2 inch bolt and a cotter pin that holds the jaws in place in the hitch...
@davewrathall1985 But if you were going to send a 994 from one side of Canada to the other? I've seen 994s like this shifted up to 5,000 kms in Australia.
@geistigunsicher No kidding, did you notice they had like 8 spares on the top of the fifth wheel on the second truck? Wonder how often they burn through a set.
Have you ever had any problem with the rear spokes (hubs) on that pull truck slipping inside the rim? I have seen it happen a few times where it will break off the valve stem.
@gm16v149 I suppose you are right. where I am, we just close a road and drive the machine there lol, we don't break them down and transport like this.. we have B-train pins, but thats it
well, actually it makes sense, considering the landscape of Australia. if you don't want to drive around half the continent, you'll go straight through the desert. but, it doesn't really pay off to just deliver like 44 000 kg (about 97k LBS)of goods over such a distance, so they just send a huge-ass Super liner... kinda makes sense, when you think about it...
Who cares, this is some serious load. I'm sure the economic advantages of this machinery being hauled to the site are beneficial enough to surpass these micky mouse infractions you speak of. This video is fucking badass, the only thing I'm disappointed about is that they aren't blowing more smoke!

Beautiful bangers those.
That lead truck has really got some muscle and HHA has some really nice equipment.
thats becuase shes an old 88 mack superliner with 750hp and a v8 sound that say GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY
The second truck look amazing, Especially with those pipe !!!
Looks like the proud dog is putting everything into this one! That's where the rubber meets the road.
She's doing a top job then the old girl!,
I can't wait to see the superdogs down the track some time!
Stunnedasmearse your crazy those truck have unbelievable amounts of pulling power
Judging from the rubber being layed down by superliner I think it was towing the entire load aswell as the western star.
laid not layed 😆
@@rowds 😂 thanks for the correction.
thanks, mralex80vechkin. the model is a 6900, hahaha Volvo, that western start have 700+hp so i think that they will be alright
A mack and western!! sweet rides!! V8 diesels are the best!
Really nice rigs. I'd be mighty proud of 'em.
These trucks and vids are mesmerizing.....
holy moly, they are leaving some rubber behind...or in german:
"Gib Gummi!"
I bet they get through some tires, you can see the rubber being left on the road by the first truck very clearly. Nice display of control and torque.
smokine2001,
The Western Star in this video is a 6900 with the registration name NO FEER - winner of the Truckin' Life Rig Of The Year 2008!
Joe
Great footage captured there !!!
first truck was doing all the work
@MrAlex8Ovechkin first truck has a weight over the back wheels to keep it planted, you can see the wheels spinning. more traction = more towing power
Impressive work!
@davewrathall1985 Pretty sure it's a 3 1/2" pin because that's what they use on roadtrains with more than 2 trailers and most likely big loads like this.
when it comes to a haul like that you need all the horsepower you can get.
liking the paint scheme on the Western Star. nothing crazy. simpler design.
Wow - amazing video!
that western start looks preety good not a big fan of western stars but i like this one :)
Top stuff mate, the old girl sure is leaving some tread! what diffs are you running in the superdog, still the camel back with mack diffs or upgraded to rockwell 60,000 pounders?
those macks look very nice and geeze thats a load
2 reasons for the high intakes,
1, Cleaner air - less dust get drawn in, not really applicable here I know, but in off road applications, important

yup yup v8 macks one of the best motors build and strong trucks to
Awesome, they sound nice too!
@GrafiteCityLux mate a big wa1200 komatsu loader like that would take about 22weeks to full assemble cab and tyres and all the parts to get it working so id say no quicker on the back
Great video. Amazing trucks: Essential viewing, pity the video wasn't longer!

@Jaime Johnny it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out :D
@Armani Ruben no problem xD
i fall in love second truck
Its really hard to imagine- all that weight being pulled by a 2 1/4 inch pin in the second truck's fifth wheel... boggles my mind. TECHNICALLY pulled by 1/2 inch bolt and a cotter pin that holds the jaws in place in the hitch...
That 1/2 inch bolt your refering too would be an Allen key bolt ⚡ from memory. Your correct awesome power from the Mack.
@davewrathall1985 But if you were going to send a 994 from one side of Canada to the other? I've seen 994s like this shifted up to 5,000 kms in Australia.
it seems these big V8 Macks are more popular downunder, probably due to the massive payloads you guys like to move :-)
now thats a sick ass push pull right there.
LANSD
@geistigunsicher No kidding, did you notice they had like 8 spares on the top of the fifth wheel on the second truck? Wonder how often they burn through a set.
2nd trucks a Western Star
nice trucks...
@MrAlex8Ovechkin it is a western star and its called high roller
amazing
Thank you for the heads up.
that looks heavy!!!!!!
Have you ever had any problem with the rear spokes (hubs) on that pull truck slipping inside the rim? I have seen it happen a few times where it will break off the valve stem.
@MrAlex8Ovechkin It is a Western Star 6900
@SeniorShaq1 exept on ice road truckers they have push trucks instead of pull trucks
why the axle tires of the mack super liner are smoking?....for the pulling?...
look that...and the tires leave a rubber mark on the asphalt
It's a steel pole that they use in Aussie, normally they rarely use steel poles in States.
@gm16v149 I suppose you are right. where I am, we just close a road and drive the machine there lol, we don't break them down and transport like this.. we have B-train pins, but thats it
Australia, earths version of Texas.
that superliner is fuckin sweet!!!!
so whats the idea behing those high intake scoups on the second truck? seem to be common in aussie
@Markmeblablabla Two reasons 1. the air is cooler than nearer to the ground and 2. there's less dust up there as well
well, actually it makes sense, considering the landscape of Australia. if you don't want to drive around half the continent, you'll go straight through the desert. but, it doesn't really pay off to just deliver like 44 000 kg (about 97k LBS)of goods over such a distance, so they just send a huge-ass Super liner... kinda makes sense, when you think about it...
laying down rubber!
I Love Them To !!
That superliner has been tweaked too l believe
The second truck is a westernstar
say if that trailer gets a flat tyre, can you replace it with the load on it?
It's a CAT 994 loader, minus the cab and wheels.
when it takes 2 trucks to move your order, you know that $20 oversize parts charge was worth it
are the tires slippin a bit??
@MrAlex8Ovechkin known as long range tanks here bloke coz of the long distances even some 4wd have em as well
@gm16v149 we tend to rail anything over a large distance. I have never seen anything like this in canada
how do they cool the engine?
what is that thing in bewteen the semi and trailer
@penslari why does the western star have 3 gas tanks on each side
how many gallons of fuel were just burned
goes to show how much power that front loader has when in operation.
What is the 2nd truck pullin?
what is the second truck
is this a slowmotion?
Considering the second truck is a Western Star 6900!
How do u guys syncronise shifting ghears?
@TheBestBassRemixes they were working togather to try to get up the hill.
@chevyman32890 Conservative estimate, in Australia, at least $1500. Probably more like $2000 if it has the full long-range set
What gear where you pulling in?
Clearly 1 or 2 low
Any higher and the torque would just blow your shit to pieces it would be like dropping a hand grenade in the gearbox
It's a double-pull, not a push-pull. Nice vid thx!
the second one aint a mack its a western star
Lucky the driver of the mack didnt get done for hooning and get truck inpounded for 30 days for laying rubber
Who cares, this is some serious load. I'm sure the economic advantages of this machinery being hauled to the site are beneficial enough to surpass these micky mouse infractions you speak of. This video is fucking badass, the only thing I'm disappointed about is that they aren't blowing more smoke!
jimmy johnson He was being sarcastic sir.
mark webb ž alle Werte unter 7 = sauer

8£
😄😬
what are they actually hauling??
A dissected front end loader. The tires and bucket are transported seperately.
when he s up hill, he needs new tires! ;)
**** Why you interupt recording in the so interesantly moment ?
asll that weight plsu the grade yaa bye bye tires i n30 seconds flat for surre no matter how heavy the truck is shes gona slip some what
QUE DIABLOS ES LO QUE LLEVA EL TRAILER?
fast and furious!!!
@MrAlex8Ovechkin i think its a "western star"
"one way or another were gettin that son' bitch up that hill"
wow
Autobots Rollout!
are they pulling a dinosaur?
un MACK tous simplement .
dont miss a speed....
@MrStiigg
why ?
cooooooooooooooooooooooooool as fuck..
You dont syncronise shift , its better if you heff difrent trucks
Who pushes here? Right, nobody!
No push just pull
push pull? i dont think so, its a double header. brill video though top post
