I`m looking for the battery box cover of the M1070, I`ve lost mine...does anyone has a extra one? Thank you for your help...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thanks Frank. Nothing new there for me, really; I've read that exact info many times already and it doesn't help me much. Our (hyper-bureaucratic banana republic)-DOT wants to see a "Certificación" - for the ability to pull up to 200 tons, on-road...(!) No such certificate - no permit...!
That's exactly what these trucks have been doing most, here: transporting the heavy components for the 3-5 MW windmills, as well as the crawler crane parts, from where the road ends to the final mounting site, usually a short but difficult trip. (post #78) On the other hand, the M1000 trailers (for the short & heavy stuff weighing up to 100 tons) proved to be good even for long distance hauling.There was an outfit out west AZ. CA. paying big money to get them they have regular semis haul the super long blades for those ugly electric wind mills that litter the dessert to the road truck friendly spot then the 1070s hitch to the trailers and take them out in the dessert and up in the hills then bring the trailer back to the holding yard .....
3.So what's the MPG on these not loaded and not towing anything?
Surprised since these have been released to the public someone isn't actively looking to change the differential gearing out or have done it yet. They should would make a buck or two doing so, heck even buying them up changing them out then selling them. At least get a 4:** something there.
Planetary hubs make the gearing very deep. Only option for that swap is that from a RCV or a PLS.Surprised since these have been released to the public someone isn't actively looking to change the differential gearing out or have done it yet.

Drinks more fuel than my loader and it weighs more and possibly pulls more.
WOW! That's one pretrip and posttrip I don't want to do!Time to resurrect this great thread....!
This video shows some good pulling action and 168 wheels turning (if I counted correctly)...
This is one of the only two HET's that ever came to this country. I brought them for a customer and friend of mine, back in 2013 - certainly not for show and parades exactly, or taking the family out for dinner...
Both trucks have been worked hard all these years and still going strong!
The TMs specify 231,400 lbs (105 056 kg) gross combination weight rating (GCWR) and that would be for the M1070/M1000 combo. But nothing is written if that was on- or off-road. Clearly, the vehicle is capable of towing way more than 70 tons, on paved roads at least.
Wish I could find any brochure or document (maybe even from Oshkosh themselves) that would say something about its "real" maximum towing capability on paved level ground, when loaded with a 25 ton weight where the fifth wheel goes.
