I've never seen that one. So, he is "pulling" down grade in pine country. Just what are they using for brakes?
Or, is it just a static photo shot?

It moved about 250', slow probably 5 mph in low range. almost flat ground. It was done by
a hollywood stunt company for the ad, at the rear trailer it had a choker cable tied off as a
dead man stop. People say it couldn't happen in todays world, it's just a static rolling load.
Hell I pulled a loaded T600 80K off the highway setting in a left had turn lane with a
exploded Cat injection pump. And it was on a slight super to pull it up. Moved it with 150
Dodge 318 in low range. The one below.

Braking was my real curiosity. The photo from the background was just south of the old Jennings reload headed towards Ripley north of Libby MT. There is a photo of a '75(?) Pete pulling a 10 trailer train on the same mainline. it is something like a .02% favorable down to Libby. the background is almost identical. You can see the photo in several locations in Libby. I think the photo is somewhere here in the archives of HEF.

Right here in my Archives. It actually took place twice in Montana, some years apart. The first is a
1971 or 72 Pete the other is a 1965 IIRC.

Close together to compare.

IIRC each trailer was precharged with air and a main tank with hand valve was used.

Just a one time stunt to prove basically nothing.

Doesn't have much to do with logging but another happening that proved much of nothing.
I did get away from the dairy when I was a kid and saw him at the Tri-Oval track in Tri Cities
around the same year 1967 jump some cars. I thought it was cool then but I was only 11.

Wasn't it a Toyota truck pulling a space shuttle in an ad 20 or more years ago? These stupid ads are probably why some people think they can pull 40K loads with a 1 ton. Ever notice when they show a new truck pulling a backhoe or dozer it's always off road and never on the highway?? Makes you go hmmm.

It only pulled it over the bridge crossing the 405 freeway ! The really STUPID thing is the fact that the shuttle had to be moved from the self propelled platform trailers on to this idiotic dolly setup...reason...California Bridge laws are still in the last century....a trailer that brings less load on the road per wheel than a car can not cross the bridge...but this contraption with a much higher load per wheel can....
