Great pictures from the Truck Show, i sure would have loved to be there!
Could any of you tell how many cubic meters the load on the H 17 amounts to? What is the average length of the logs and max. length?
Thanks. Sigurd

Steve and jim congrats it sounds like you put on a great show I couldn't make it up this time but I wish I could of, I foundf a truck off the gordon river mainlain right at the start of 19 creek and the serial # is T74118-797 it was a p-16 and had a unit #111 I was hoping someone could tell me the history of it and who possibly owns it I'll try to upload the pictures tonight

I`ll change the value from cubic meters to board feet and hope for an answer

Sigurd It was approx 120 Meters I will check with the boys and ask what the lengths were Some were 12.5s

Just had a question about Saunders and sons trucks. What is left of their old fleet. Supposedly they had the largest single purchase of trucks from hays.

Thanks a lot HDX

Sigurd I checked with one of the guys that are pretty good with judging load sizes and he told me it was more like 130 Meters Most of the logs were 12.5's and the longer ones on top were 16.6's Maybe 075 could jump in and add some ideas

 

[075]

Nice load no holes, a good mix of larger logs and smaller ones, The long ones on top add alot of wood .I would say 125 to 135 would be a good guess. Its really hard to say how heavy it is untill you hear the truck driver scream when he breaks over the first hill lol

 

[Sigurd]

Thank you both HDX and 075 for taking your time to answer my questions! That sure is a huge amount of wood.

Don't know where to throw this but thought it was neat, preloader that's become a wagon for moving things around the sort?

Some Hayes HDX from Vancouver Island. Last 3 pictures are Dave Mills trucks

 

[HDX]

Very good pics Hayesno1 The second pic (H14) is ex M&B unit # H88 from Cameron Division She was the first of the 4 HDX PreLoads they got in 1974 Her serial # is 6352 Original driver was Swen Josefson. Gotta go over and see what her future holds in store. Will try and see what we can find out Cant believe the damage to the front bumper That was done after she left M&B Somebody pushing something I guess

HDX; thank you and great info as usual. She looked in pretty good shape but I think she needs a bit of work before she will be back. A few pics of H17 when I met you near Sarita a week after the great great Hayes annivversary show. I really like pic #1 with all the dust; all most making a bowl around her.

Hayes HDX WFP #2225(old MB unit) being loaded east of Alice Lake and Victoria Lake, meeting her loaded a bit later at West Main when she was heading to Port McNeill. "075" are you loading her? I was looking for a campsite and I found one nice spot on east side of Victoria Lake. No people at all and good fishing

 

[075]

No sorry that was not me, That is Port McNeill Div truck, and loader and I work in Juene Landing . But I have driven 2225 a couple of times when I was working in McNeill
