I made the eight plus hour drive to Mackenzie B.C. today. I saw this on the way to our hotel. I stopped and got some pictures of it. It had two V12 Cummins engines for power. They were probably VT1710's. Its a big machine the rollers are 30 feet wide and 8 feet tall. I will post more pictures when I get home.
I saw that one too. Its hard to believe how big it is until you walk around it
Does the front roller pivot in front of the cab? If so it must have a pretty terrible turning radius.
Right as I posted I just noticed the big ring gear up front.
I'll bet that's just a GREAT ! ride....not. Short straw to drive it ?
An empty planetary/motor housing I noticed quite a few bolts are missing. A Letourneau mechanic told me all the bolts in a Latourneau machine have a double helix fine thread and are very expensive.
With a max speed of 3 Mph you could safely text and drive.
Riding up and over those trees will have you lunging around in that cab for sure. Even at 3 mph. I've seen the videos.
Thanks for posting that @mekanik I had no idea there was one in NA I always saw the videos of them munching the jungle somewhere.
