last time I came up Mt Ousley was in a R model mack with a huge 237HP Maxidyne motor. Ate my lunch, did my paperwork. felt like 2 hours to the top of the mountain. PMSL
@@JazzyJasTruckingzz . At one time , in the DISTANT past , Mack 237 Maxidyne was the Biggest Baddest Truck in the World . Bit later Volvo G88 happened and made EVERYONE sit up and pay attention . Now-a-days Local Delivery Trucks are using 400 - 450 hp .
All Footage is My Brother Driving. Unfortunately he is no longer Driving a truck so no more new footage. I still have heaps of his old footage. Will upload more when I can. Thanks for all the comments
@@MrAfflikted Looking forward to it! Also, off topic, but since this is an Australian video I'd just like to take the opportunity to say to all our Aussie brothers and sisters over there who are affected by these tragic bushfires, we here over in NZ are all thinking of you and our hearts really do go out to you. Kia Kaha.
I think our Cummins engines are uncorked compared to US versions. My (company) 520 Sig absolutely eats all our 550 Cats (er have 8) as do all our other Cummins engines. Boss prefers Cummins prime movers. He buys 2nd hand and puts them to work immediately, then after a few trips sorts them. Vary rarely do the engines give trouble on these engines but he may just've got lucky.
That's funny how you said she purrs like a kitten, the only thing is it's a Cummins, not a cat. But it would be pulling harder if it was a cat. As they have more torque down low.
no bro the cummins of the signature 600 series are isx engines without all that more accurate egr system and with much more power cummins stopped manufacturing some time ago.
@@TheOldmancrazy jeez was gonna say she must've been bloody heavy to have been back all those gears with a 600 Cummins! The video I took of my mate going up at 50 t with a 550 Cat we were going a lot quicker but that explains it - th-cam.com/video/cKRgYwC5nJk/w-d-xo.html
@@PianolaDanOz, OMG. Here in the United States, the grades are mostly 6% Signature 600 pulling that 110,000 pounds, walks up that hill at 65 mph, with an 18 speed. Can't imagine 10% grade, wow.
Nice engine but horribly underpowered no wonder your brother is working the gearbox hard, all the extra wear and tear. For good hill climbing performance without flogging the engine,s guts out, there are two options, a snorting 19 Litre Cummins QRSK, 750, 900hp,or better a huge KittyCat V-12 purring 960 ponies. A four trailer road train averages 185 to200 tons fully loaded,it needs best part of 1,000hp to do 45- 50kph on the flat without flogging the guts out of the engine.
QRSK Cummins are Not permitted on the Seaboard due to Emissions and the V-12 Cat isn't going to FIT in a USABLE vehicle for interurban work . Which is where this particular Grade is . Between Wollongong and Sydney .
@@andrewking4885 Well ,it has been done, The owner of a 1977 Kenworth W-900 has fitted yes cats&kittens ,a 'K' Series Cummins. Another owner fitted a K, in a Peterbilt 300 Series configured for heavy haulage. Okay the K has a weight, and emissions issue, but in this world there is no such thing as a free lunch ,just 10 percent off the price. It is not rocket science to re work the K,s cylinder head and fit AD Blue, an exhaust scrubbing system popular in UK, in essence concentrated animal piss injected into the exhaust stream trapping particulates and reducing NoX. Like Luke Hobbs, Boss Engineer for Aero Giant Pratt&Whittney said in the late 1940,s ' there is no replacement for displacement' Luke is right for he designed the R-4360 the most powerful production air cooled radial aero engine on the planet. Would you use your daughter,s pony to pull a fully loaded hay wagon?, no the biggest Shire Horse on the farm.

32cresta was it really that weak?
😂😂😂
@Rejected-From-Eve .Zero A 237hp Mack was a high torque engine for it's time. 906 ft lb torque.

Listen to that girl work. Nothing sounds better than a Cummins. F***en awesome, beautiful smooth gear changes too.
Indeed my friend,
This vid is the puck of the lot.
It's my Bro driving.
Stand by for more vids to come.

The engine sound is better than music.
Very hard hill and good driving
Silky smooth yet very quick gear changes.
No choice when you’re washing off speed that fast
Bet she’s warm after that. Lovely job 😦
What a great video !!! Awesome sounding Cummins !!!!!
Pulls hard hey, pretty awesome
🤣
That thing must be real heavy for me it’s cat power all the way
thank you for detail video as not show much chance to the highway there as watch your truck do climb up to Picton Rd
western star?
Keep making video's like this one.
+diesel180023 Will do. Just waiting on more footage from a different truck. The next one will be a Cat C15 with Straight pipes in an Argosy.
Now we're fucking talking!
Not bad ey
not bad at allllll
tourqe
Why was he pulling up at the end there , on the Picton Rd ? Destination there ?
That's a hellava engine...gd! I hear a lot about CAT power. What about that Cummins power?
Peter Wyndham call Pittsburgh Power they hooked up my NTC Cummins to 550 hp .

Good vid but how heavy was load? Engine purrs like a kitten though
+GeneralG1810 65.5 ton gross
Eren Pakyuz Crikey
+Bacon TheBoss it's mccabes double

@@barryrainbird7515 LOL you know you're a diesel man when you make a point like that ;D
Western Star truck?
That died in the arse quickly, must be steeper than it looks. Stay safe
Yea mate it is I go down it a few times a week definitely a decent pull.
Mt Ousley is Fairly Steep , yes . A LONG Grade .
You do paint quite a picture lol.
Is the engine a KTA-1150? I’ve never heard of a signature 600 cummings.
no bro the cummins of the signature 600 series are isx engines without all that more accurate egr system and with much more power cummins stopped manufacturing some time ago.
Damn man, what weremyou hauling in this rig and how much did you weigh? One hell of a climb
hey bro i i was 68 t gross i had 42 ton of eaf dust take to lead smelter in port pirie sa

What gear were you down to before mt pleasant bridge ?4 low split ?
Viajando dentro de um caminhão australiano 😂😂😜😜😜😜✋✋✋
Notice he stays in the right lane. The car on the left slows for the corner and would have baulked the the
Must grossing a fair bit of weight to pull a 600 Cummins down like that.
D Mc 65.5 ton. Much steeper than it looks also
Ya, that's a nice bit of weight! What grade percentage is that? Must be 5 or 6% grade, maybe more. Not easy to tell from a camera view.
The climb is 4.5kms in length with 2 sections of 10% grade .
10% wow, no wonder it pulled down so much. That's pretty steep!

What sorta box it got?
It'll be a Roadranger 18 speed.
tones??
65.5
Old blood Hill
Watch out your on the WRONG side of the road ! LoL
This truck is hauling tail
In USA this is not even a molehill at 148 feet. 🤣 But of course, it is all about the grade and the load the tractor is winching up the hill.
Looks sooooooooooooooo slow boring!

How the hell are you going fit those engines in a road going truck and plus those road trains have an engine in the trailer they're that heavy.
