Wow, very good memories for me. I worked on those trucks (6 in the fleet) back in 1982-1986. I was an Allison Transmission mechanic at the time and became one of the team that modified the trucks from Detroit 12V71 engines to 12V92TA rated at 750 hp at 2100 rpm. The transmission was an Allison CLBT 6061-6 six speeds with lock-up clutch, remote mounted. All components were modified from the fuel tanks, rear ends, radiators ect in order to increase the GCW at 750,000 pounds load. The 3 trailers rig was replacing 10 standard trucks. End results.... 1 mile per gallon of fuel, but the job was done. At the time the distance was 55 miles one way! The three trailers were already loaded up at pick up. Matter of time saving. Great time to remember... Denis Frenette

I like how all of the smaller or regular logging trucks were bringing some large loads, then out of nowhere here comes the Pacific, Challenger or Hayes, whatever slowly grunting up the hill with a whole forest on it's back. Those purpose-built logging trucks are no joke.

Okay but can we appreciate how the other trucks were going with some pretty impressive sized loads, and then that pacific rounds the corner looking like a road train got lost and found it’s way into Canada somehow

I ran a bus service from Victoria to Bamfield transporting west coast trail hikers in the late 90's. Those Mac Blo off highway trucks were bloody huge...the roads were often just barely wide enough to get out of their way!

While we all know the buzzer dozen was a strong old motor it is much more likely that these big tractors were using the 1710 Cummins v 12 or the 1786 v 12 cat motor to pull these kinds of crazy wood loads

It is a great video that is for sure, thought I heard a buzzin dozen in the 1st or 2nd train may be wrong but it was a Detroit for sure.

Those Pacifics are big. I saw one at a Stewart & Stevenson shop. I stand 5'6" and I could stand under the fender.

That big blue Pacific at the end was absolutely amazing and off the charts, ridiculous really
@johac7637

That third log from the right is the one that made the boards for my kitchen wall. Sweet. Looks like the design philosophy for the trailers was. BIGGER!
