one of the first things i learned as a kid wanting to drive a rig was to help clean the snow out my dads and uncles duals LOL
when comparing dual 8" tires to one 16" tire on snow up to hub height, the ground pressure is equal as well as the actual footprint the only real benifit over the duals is the gap between creates a natural self cleaning lug, but in really deep snow over the hub height that gap can also be a...
i wouldnt even put NDT's on my lawn tractor let alone a vehicle i intend to use on canadian roads, unless you modify the lugs of an NDT with a tire knife they are useless and pose a huge safety issue in snow, ice conditions or loss gravel.
if you cut the lugs of the center line of the NDT to...
depends on the deth of the snow and whats under it, think snow shoes vs normal footwear. with snow shoes the weight is distributed over a larger area therefore reducing the actual preasure aplied from the weight of the vehicle on the contact surface *less lbs per sq inch*. if your operating on a...
i seem to recall the HET M1070 is also singled out, and its the mil's choice to have it singled........
personally i like how singled trucks run and handle and for the most part commercial super singles/wb tires dont lose much for a load limit then duals in comparision and they save a mbunch on...
thank you for the pics and inspiration Soni. i have sent you a PM but realized through various other posts your not around much in the summer months, i would love to see more detailed info on the addition of the shelter and the repower of the ISX and E/F trans.
your project has given me some...
yes i have thought of that, while the M920 is defintly easier to source parts for and more adaptable to civvilian life, it is limited in GCVW at around 120K whereas the M911 is in the 190K range. the aquisition of 2 m920's was part of the plan but having an M911 on hand is also somethign we feel...
no worries there i understand the TR of the M911 is around 40' while i do not forsee it as being an issue, most of the roads we will be running it on are private leaseholds and should a bit of room need to be made for turn around it can be made quickly. as i said i dont see it as beign a...
im not to concerned with fab work as all three of us (me and my partners are all expierienced fabricators myself having majority of it in heavy duty. we arnt looking for super comfortable truck but one that can be used to haul heavy loads in places that typical OTR trucks cant get too or be...
2 m920's and 1 m911 are being sourced and aquired over the following months for heavy haulage in adverse road conditions by me and my business partners for a new commercial venture.
i am familer with the Soni's m920 and the 2 we are aquiring will be built with similer specs and additions...
well things are moving forward slowly on my plans with respect to M911 aquisition , and havign looked up some of the specs on the M911, i was wondering if any of you guys have any knowladge on the possibility of re-power it from an 8v92 to a new cummins isx, my local cummins rep can get me a...
m911 is 33K and change If i recall correctly, the 920 is smaller and more road friendly albeit lighter and less payload capacity.
if ya dont mind me asking are you looking at aquiring one or the other or for your own reference?
M911 weight 39,951 lbs
yes they do require an over width permit to operate on the road with the outer rear duals on, as a commercial venture these trucks would not be operated on the road unless under contract to a client and the permit costs would be built into the cost billed to the client. as well the majority of...
