Machine is a Terex 82-30. If it is pre 1973 it will have a 6-71 (FA) or a 6-71T (FAT). Post 1973 it will have a 8V71T (GA). Bit hard to tell with this machine because of the muffled over cab exhaust fitted. Good to see a 'Green Meanie' in action.
actually the rack was untouched except for some battery acid, the truck jacknifed as it went off so the logs slid PAST the cab instead of THROUGH it...
Nothing wrong with how that truck was recovered. Last thing you want to do is release the brakes. If a cable snaps or comes off, that unit is gonna roll right back down to where they started. Not at all safe. Brakes being locked ain't gonna hinder the progress one bit.
Poor ole girl :/ Hope no one lost their life/was injured on that ride. As an aside, my asshole always draws up when I see people standing that close to a cable under tension. scary stuff.
The dozer is a Terex and it looks like it's a 82-30. The "bare-dry shipping weight" of the 82-30 is about 50,000 lbs (I could get the manuals out to see what it really is weight wise but there down at the shop). Terex's were made by GM (General Motors) but they no longer make the 82-30 and GM sold the Terex brand years ago.
Thanks for sharing a tough moment. Definitely a nice rig. Hope it was brought back to life as nice. Great Cat work -- Skilled operator. Please provide info on how the rig went in the brush? Anything to do with the tight switchback?
Looks like an expensive day happened here. I well imagine that truck back on the road soon after, with a huge repair bill to pay. Wonder if the owner did this, or a paid driver?
in fact it was the whole axle - it sheared the U-bolts. It was a real asspain to move because i forgot to have the catskinner pick it up for me. It took about as long for me to move the axle as it did to get the rest of the truck
the guy at the end in clean bluejeans and clean hoodie looks like a truck driver. and he has gloves to keep his hands soft for the lot lizards ha ha ha
Should have brought in a loader. Or got in and released brakes n or take iut of gear. Dont want to bend the truck frame. Could pick it off the ground and drug it up easier. Maybe.
yah ok but maybe all his brakes (fondation brakes, jake and so on) broke or whatever, then he would have come way too fast and there he goes... or whatever
Hope I am not being a pain, but I went through my annals and the 82-20 had a 6V71T. Has quadrajet viewed the TC-12 in action under the title 'The Jolly Green Giant'?. What a machine that is.
where's the front wheels gone? vanished? the gear box also gone. i think someone has stole it and brought to the nearest steel factory to be sell. haha

When you cruise youtube and find your old crew, you miss logging even more.....
That is one seriously tough bulldozer. Talk about torque balls!!
Never heard of a 10 cylinder engine in a dozer like that, that one sure sounded like 6 cylinders..
bruce werner it's a 2 stroke that's why it sounds like that
thats a beautiful Pete and it looks to be fairly new. I wonder what happend. Hope the drivers ok.
That and some generous editing. I would ask if this was secretly neil giving himself props except he'd call himself a catskinner.

Yeah, don't try to adjust the air brakes from standing on the step reaching through the window.
love the sound of screamin detroits got a couple skidders that work in our area that are old detroits love that sound
wow. it was a nice pete. see thats why I drive dry vans. kudos to log haulers!
That's why you should never text and drive especially driving a logging truck😎

stuff like that happens all the time, it is the nature of the beast
on newer trailers the brakes lock when the air is diconnected
The dozer, terexs are heavy and petes are light (once the logs are off that is)
where did this happen at? and how did this happen? i mean the road is dry and the road looks wider than most woods roads, unbelieveable
Looks like Jeff Bradshaw,("TH-cam's""Elderly Iron: This Old Truck",
Author/Host on the sidelines!!
heh,another day at work,i lost track of how many logging trucks i've picked up and set back on the road,at least it wasn't a thousand feet down !
in fact it was the whole axle - it sheared the U-bolts. It was a real asspain to move because i forgot to have the catskinner pick it up for me. It took about as long for me to move the axle as it did to get the rest of the truck
I used to drive chip truck in the woods. 80'000 lbs and muddy roads, yehaa!
the guy at the end in clean bluejeans and clean hoodie looks like a truck driver. and he has gloves to keep his hands soft for the lot lizards ha ha ha
Were the brakes locked on the trailer on the way up from the wreck?
Hope the driver was fine
Great operator wll done
@tdblues sounds like lyrics to a good ol country tune ha ha. Nothing but the truth man!
Well that and the several violations we would have been issued for operating with saturated soil conditions. I did mention this is CA right?
Hehe, they think about the insurance company now, bad nerves !
hate to see a good logging truck go like that
poor ol pete looked like a sweet truck, was it yours?
That looks like a Terex 82-20B
AT LEAST THE WHEELS ARE POLISHED!!!
I stand corrected. Would like to see your 82-30E in action.
givin that ole dresser a fit
I would definatly say thata a DD 2 stroker. Maybe a 4-71 or something.
Terex dozer with a Detroit 2 stroke engine? rare if ever there was a production model.
All terex had detroits in them.
tryn to straightn the road out was he?
good thing the ground was dry, otherwise they would've been pulling the dozer and the truck up the hill :)
+tracks which provide alot of traction and low gears
Thats what i was say...its a detroit in that dozer...nice sound!
@TugOwar трос был размотан всего на несколько метров, даже если бы он лопнул, люди стояли достаточно далеко и не пострадали бы
stillenma it wasnt just the tires missing the front wheels were missing
So was the guy drunk or stoned?
Tractor verde pequeño pero muy potente!
Unfortunately the winch is in the back...
i wonder what part of the ride did the driver think..OHH SHIT!!!!!!
che spettacolo....complimenti
santa cruz county CA, and the driver's fine, he wasn't in the truck.
HOLY SMACK THAT DOZER RULEZ.......
so how did it get down there..
@Multimentalisti what makes you think drinking had anything to do with it?
thats a nice bulldozer =D
Should have brought in a loader. Or got in and released brakes n or take iut of gear. Dont want to bend the truck frame. Could pick it off the ground and drug it up easier. Maybe.
What kind of dolly is that?
yah ok but maybe all his brakes (fondation brakes, jake and so on) broke or whatever, then he would have come way too fast and there he goes... or whatever
Hope I am not being a pain, but I went through my annals and the 82-20 had a 6V71T. Has quadrajet viewed the TC-12 in action under the title 'The Jolly Green Giant'?. What a machine that is.
good ol bullys. will do anything
really dose not look like that bad of a recovery job bose was thinking i just got new tires for that truck lol
no its not... that can be buffed out in no time
too bad. it looks fairly new..ouch!!!
did you guys stop for a break and top up the oil in the terex? burnt like 5 gallons by the looks off it haha
Is the truck reuuseable
This a wood, removal trees to the industries !
should have attached the rope at the most rear axle.... simple physics...
Give the truck some slack, let some cable out, then it wont be trying to lift the front end of the truck off the ground.
poor pete
kalau di tempat ku, di panggil keretapilar menarik lori balak..
este trator tem uma força monstruosa
IT IS A WINCH!!! LOL
I'm no expert; but, I'd say that wagon was f*cked !
So I said to myself why dont they start it up and release the park brake until I saw that the front axle was missing. LOL
Sorry bout the truck!
karma...in its best form!
Slightly used Peterbuilt log truck for sale.
Man, machine !
how can the truck go down luckyly it is not a road train
must be an lcl driver gone to drive logging trucks in the states,
Did he keep his job ????
+slimchancetoo He was an independant operator
IC. Well I bet he wishes he had not done it.
they need a d10
how you figure?
where's the front wheels gone? vanished? the gear box also gone. i think someone has stole it and brought to the nearest steel factory to be sell. haha
huston i found the problem
you lost your wheels and thats why you went off the road
lol
How unfortunate .. damn nice Lookin log truck! Put er background together and get some logs! :)
Sure, rescue a truck with a bulldozer. Let's see you do it with a hand winch and a roll of scotch tape. Just kidding. Awesome video.
that ill buff out
Wheelie! :)
that suckz aslong as the driver was ok,, thats all that matters
what the heck happened
that was expensive...
I have triple deep 3/4 socket so i can cage the chambers with my cordless impact. that would have helped in this case.
is the truck thats towing have a w 12 diesel ?
@Emzieroy I guess he didnt do it on purpose......
Can u say.......... OOPS!
Only one thing ....if it was his lorry ...out ...never aloud in a wood agen... or if he was a driver ... P45...😠 hi from ireland ...😉
It could've been that driver's first day on the job.
wow!
my father is a trucker
