Hi Will Fantastic viewing, can’t understand the thumbs down though, I just loved your country when I was there. Keep the videos coming, love the MAN tanker at the beginning of the video, thanks for putting this up for all us enthusiasts to watch. Kind regards to all in beautiful New Zealand from all in Scotland. Johnny
I remember this hill, fully loaded 80 tonne heavy haulage with my Isuzu Giga 530, I use to let her lug down to 1100rpm skip 2 gears at a time the revs would pick up to 2200rpm shed lug on down to 1250 her sweet spot and hold there, got her brand new in 2005 and ran her up to 1.2 million kms over 10 years of heavy haulage she was a great truck. Still pulled well and not a spanner put to the engine or gearbox in that time other than services
Nice job Sammy...Especially the fact that Isuzu aren't regarded in the trade in heavy haulage bro.. I'm a big believer that the operator behind the truck has a big part to play weather it's out there working or in the workshop.. If you can do heavy haulage and make the best of Japanese gear I certainly would recommend you pack your bags and come over here to Aussie and put your trade skills to pay dividends for you brother..Cause most operators these day wouldn't even attempt what you do unless they have a Signature series 60, or a MP 685 or a FH 16, 700.. Top end Kenworths, Macks or Volvos for those who don't understand motor lingo... Full respect brother..
I cut my teeth off road with these things, from 400cxz's to 2012 460cyz which was my last one, although I wouldn't cross the road to drive one, I have to admit with a fair amount of experience- if any truck deserves the title bullet proof, it's Isuzu, I had many of their trucks but only 2 problems.... firstly) there was a design floor in the transmission of my last two (cyz 400&460) and they were known for blowing the center clutch around 100,000k, mechanic said it was something to do with the way they idle and not to have them in gear waiting at lights, never had many breakdowns period, but that was the only one that a call out couldn't fix. Secondly) the only other problem was if you pulled up at the dairy to grab a pie, and some little old lady walked out, you had to wait for her to fk off before you pulled the hand brake unless you give the poor old girl a heart attack- true story - hell I nearly gave a few young girls a heart attack and I may or may not have timed a couple of them, faf 😆 but sad- I know- don't judge me 😔 ... I had one chick abuse my over it, but usually by the time I got around the truck, they were getting in or inside their car glaring at me as if I said "women shouldn't have the vote" or something equally bad.
Beautiful scenery and it's great to see trucks in other countries. I would've liked to have seen those trucks pushing a little carbon out of the stacks pulling that hill back in the 70's and 80"s.
Handle more weight and better distribution over the roads. Different combinations also have different road user charges so depending on what you transport costs accordingly ie max weight, max cube = max profit generally.
It is a steep hill and well remember having to be down in the lower gears in the old Commer TS3 and the Perkins powered truck to heading to Whanganui with boiler fuel onboard . The scariest I had was coming home on my motorbike back in the 80s it was hissing down and went and overtook a truck going up the hill I could not see anything because of the spray from the trucks tires I made it but could not see a thing
great to kiwi trucks on youtube .nice filming too 👍👍👍👍👍👍

The landscape and the trucking attracts me .... very nice view
Great Bedford!!
That was decent, thank you. Saw one of those turbine blades transiting south of Whanganui last Thursday morning.
Some bigger ones have just come in to port Taranaki for the Waverly wind farm
@@willbishoptrucksnewzealand3826 Thanks for that info Will.

Top de mais parabéns BRAZIL
The Manawapou hill I think and that narrow bridge
Sure is
Man there must be some commentary on those truckers R.T's.
why have the most trucks and trailer in NZ so many axes? for comparison 0:15 in germany the truck has 2 and the trailer 3 axes
Prime Mover is designed to run up to 60 tonne gross possibly as a B double. In Europe trucks are limited to 44 tonne over six axles

@@regregan5755 Also I hear they're safer if one of the front tyres was to blow. Also weight limits per axle on our roads.
Exelete

The Merc at 8.15 sounds very rattly.
Question.
Why the truckers have their lights on even during the day.? Is it a law to there or something.
No law, lights on just to be seen
@@willbishoptrucksnewzealand3826 ooh. And i think i got the pic why. Thanks btw.
Only motorcycles have to have their lights on by law. (excluding older or vintage bikes)
what is the name of the truck brand at 10:45 am? Does anyone know?
Freightliner Argosy
@@willbishoptrucksnewzealand3826 thx
