That is an old KW W-922 with a small cam 350 and a 5x4 transmission. It needs some paint and chrome, but it's a good old truck. I'll look for some pictures and post them... I never thought anyone would want another look at that old beast!

That is a 1966 Pierce lowboy... It's a little cumbersome not having a detachable gooseneck, but it's one tough old trailer. I side load my excavators and load the dozer's over the rear. On a rainy day, when the trailer isn't level, it can give you one hell of an adrenaline rush!

We've hauled some extremely heavy loads on this old beast.

This is a great old loader that has a new engine, transmission, and 4 new tires. It doesn't look like much, but we've got a 3 yard general purpose bucket and log forks for it.

Not much to look at, but it work great!

This is my favorite piece of machinery... I enjoy everything about this D6D. It has around 2000 original hours on it and everything works perfectly!

Those old KWs have a great reputation in Australia. Newer ones, not so good..........C ya......Ray

At Peters Family Trucking we pride ourselves on our ability to handle a varied workload. In one of these pictures we are hooked to a 53' Dry Van to pull processed cranberries 180 miles North of Bandon, Oregon. We will haul several loads of cranberries during the months of October and November.

I thought I was posting some more pictures with this, but it didn't seem to work.

The bottomdump doesn't see a lot of use... Since it's a cross-gate style. It does spread nice though.

The Komatsu PS220LC I am actually partners on with another person... I don't have a lot of need for a big excavator, so the partnership works great.

Wow, after a loooonnnngggggg winter, I finally have every piece of equipment working on actual "paying" jobs. In the middle of February, I wondered if this day would ever come again!!!

Dear petersfamilytru, that is a beautiful green KW tractor. The 490E is clean and straight for the kind of work you do with it. It's nice to see owner/operator equipment that is respected and cared for. That's how we treat our stuff-like it is family. We know we are blessed to have what little we do have. Thanks for the nice pictures. Sincerely, ZAXIS

Thank you for the compliments... I sure try to keep everything in the best shape I can afford. Next winter, if we have a good enough summer, it's time for the paintshop on several pieces of equipment and the old dumptruck!
