some overweight and oversize trucking. I like airkraft mover with twin driver

 

man f2000 19603 (red) and 19463 (blue) with kitchen


this blue was already very very powerful with its 12.8L 6cyl engine with 460hp and 2100nm(1550lb-ft) was more powerful than lot stronger engines

while red one ( 603) was monster 18.3L bi turbo v10 engine with 600hp and 2700nm(2000lb-ft) this engine was so powerful that it can cross most hills so fast that speed limiter cut its speed ....with 90-91000lbs it can goes uphill on 8% 4mille hill with speed limit

 

Find it hard that 600hp and 2700nm could go up a hill at full speed with that load. When a new Scania 620, volvo 700 can't do it witch has both more torque and hp.

 

well that is very serious power truck

even 463 is exceptionally powerful , man is very famous by few things:

-it goes like hell

-it does not last long (f2000 is good but earlier versions were very short life engine)

-you have to open engine almost every year

-it have fastest response on throttle this engine is immediately at 2000rpm or more

-it use lot of oil

-it gives you lot of smoke

-version 463 have some heat problems ( actually you cant drive it at full power because it start to be warm

but when you drive man you have feeling like it have at least 50hp more than other truck

 

Still, 2700nm is 2700nm no more, 600hp is 600hp.

A reason for cabovers....

well i believe in volume

for example when you compare 2 4axle tippers from red light to next one mercedes 3538 with 14.6L v8 and bi turbo with 381hp (1700nm) vs actros 4143 also 8x4 with 12L v6 single turbo engine with 428hp and 2000nm


....3538 goes better

 

Did you notice how the trailer flexed just in front of the front axle as it went through the pot hole.
Must have a crack and it will break soon on those roads with that weight.

 

I am thinking its because it would be almost impossible to get the weight correct on the drives. Besides when you get into that kinda weight a few more tons are not going to make much difference.
Its a amazing to me the pintle hooks can hold up to that kind of abuse.

 

I used to tow floor dr.bar trailer with old Volvo.

this tipe of these hooks are amazingly tought! I know one guy he had K100 with double (20' semi trailer + dolly axel + 30' semi trailer) and he got into roll over accident. Bar was bent, but hook was not damaged
