Big Rigs Talk about other Cummins powered vehicles here. As a matter of fact, it doesn't even have to be Cummins, but it will be diesel! :)

Heavy chassis

got what I understand is the largest concrete pumper model in North America in our shop. Got a Series 60 in it, nice to see. anywhoo, 150,000lb GVW, 7 axle, tri drive tri steer center axle dead. huge outboard planetaries on the drives. only unit in Canada as far as I know. guy that owns Viper concrete bought it at the big Vegas show and drove it back to Calgary 1 or 2 years ago.

Thats some seroius weight! Our coil units weigh that much and I really enjoy driving them when I get the chance.

I got a customer that has a couple of the 63Zs and man they are fun to drive. They also have a 70Z that dwarfs the 63Z! It isnt a strait truck though. I love driving them but it takes twenty miles to turn it around!

Beautiful truck, and with the rear steer it's probably actually fairly manueverable?
