I'm a railroad locomotive type of guy but I must say, this is awesome. Trains are flatland creatures but it looks like these machines can handle hills just fine. Often saw three trailer cattle roadtrains going north when I lived in The Alice, but five was from a bygone era, plus they're lighter too, so nothing compared to this machine. Nicely done.

'Trailers built by Smiths of Gympie'. When I was an electrical apprentice with Noel Andrews in Gympie in 1970 we did Smiths electrical work. Their 'factory' was basically a corrugated iron roof down the side of a hill. We used to joke that if they had flat ground to build a truck body on it'd be crooked. They turned out lovely stuff, they got flooded 2 or 3 times a year and Jimmy Smith was the best bloke you'd ever hope to meet. I was working in Gunpowder about 1975 and GCL was using Smiths side tippers. Great that they've moved on and up.

Yes, dream on... KW is first, no doubt - but outselling "by a country mile"? Your country mile looks awfully short to me. Some figures: Sales Results for the 3rd Quarter 2016HEAVY-DUTY Kenworth 1439 units - 20.7%Volvo 1125 units - 16.2% Isuzu 958 units - 13.8%Roughly 50% of all HCVs for the first three, the rest are all the others. Around 7000 Units per 3rd Quarter, or 28.000 Units per year. Nice. You laugh at the Euro truck fanboys? You know, this looks to me like the whistling of the little boy in the dark woods at night.......But, lets talk about figures. 28.000 Units for Autralia a year? Look, in Germany alone are the sales of HCVs in 2014 around 80.000. Trucksales in the EU are around 300.000 for 2014. India built around 230.000 Units the same year, and China produced a whopping 1.000.000 Units that year.....You know the biggest truck producers worldwide? Not Kenworth obviously, nor their mother company PACCAR - it is Daimler-Benz and Volkswagen........ :D The thing is: The australian HCV-market is so tiny that nobody of the big ones really is interested....

Pearly Humbucker Your figures might be right mate, but those sales figure include all those little fiddly euro rigid trucks as well and Isuzu haven't even got a single primemover that can do the interstate work here and last 4-5 months. Yes volvo is selling trucks but its only those small units for single trailer local operation to suit tight inner cities. Interstate there are few but no where near Kenworths. Also this video is regarding Australia so lets just keep it to Australian market as I'm pretty sure none of all those units sold in Germany would be able to pull even a smallest double road-train across outback highways let alone lasting a whole year. So application wise, Volvos are no where near Kenworths. Smallest road-train, that is double train hauls about 90 tonnes. So hopefully it clears the fact

On this big landmass are living around 23.000.000 people - slightly more than in Peking, und two-third of the population of the whole town Chongqing - or 25% of the population of Germany. You wont name this a big market, wont you? >> "down here Euro trucks suck and kenworths shit on 'em all day long." Ok, I dont have anything against it. A handful Kennies shit on some Euro-Trucks. In the same time the truck manufacturers of these on-shitten Euro-trucks sell tausends of trucks elsewhere in the world - and that gets money in their pocket. That counts..... Look, you dont understand, dont you? The big players dont make enough money in australia. Aussies love to tow several trailers - but not in fear of "running out of parking space" - that is bullshit. The australian desert is big enough for parking of 10thousands of trucks if needed. Its really simple: They cant afford having many trucks towing less trailers - and paying the drivers. They need to tow several trailers, otherwise it doesnt pay to transport masses of goods on dirty roads with these huge costs of operation and maintenance..... Bying and operating a truck in australia doesnt have much to do with national pride or having the Biggest or the Longest. It is all about money. Maybe if you try to educate yourself what the meaning is of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or Return Of Investment (ROI), you may anderstand....... By the way: "Having the longest" is a title that does not belong to the aussies, it belongs to the colombian and brasilian sugar cane truckers that are towing ~ five ladden trailers or 10 to 15 trailers empty through their country....... And they use the trucks they can get, they can afford, they can pay for....

These Road trains needs to be launched in America

@Hello Grant how are you doing

Hi mate I'm from England and have spent ten years running out of Derbyshire limestone quarry's but I have stopped driving trucks because of automatics. I learned to drive on an EATON twinsplitter and I would love to have a stick in my left hand again so much. I'm very jealous of you guys it's all over here.

@@H2r730 For towing trailers, you're looking more at the amount of torque, rather than the amount of torque. It literally has almost 1 ton-ft (2000 lb-ft), that's a huge amount of torque. No road car would be able to generate that much torque at a low rpm, or have such a torquey engine. This is a very large engine, made for pulling and towing, not for top speed.

wow this kenworth is the king of all the trucks

What the truck! That's trucking great training. Crikey!

Beautiful vehicle!

Kenworth looks like a vintage truck compared to Scania and Volvo. I think these drivers would appriciate the comfort that Scania and Volvo offer.

Mighty Kenworth. 1000HP of Fossil Chewing Grunt. More chewing than what the loads worth. That's ma Kenny.

Perfect!!!

Very impressive truck.

Jim Allen, liked your story and how you put it. not many remember driving those engines every day. I bouche for your stories climbing them hills at those speeds with that weight. The timing of engines and spring set ups. One thing I learned from your story is about the timing on a the 12V setting it at that would be something to see you didn't loose me. get a red and white spring with a size 5 button for your ntc engine, set timing at very advance to get more air in the chambers and you got a power producing eng liner height can go as highest .0015 above deck level and believe me it works well with no leaks and for some reason unexplainable I feel more power out if the eng You are a rare breed, Keep on trucking Keep leaving everyone behind on your rear view mirrors because they don't understand

Beautiful

i ❤ kenworth

I see a lot of posts arguing for euro or KW in Australia. The both have roles to play, but Europeans in general have no concept ot the size and heat of Australia. If I was buying a truck for long haul, i'd be looking for the one with the biggest radiator and a snorkel.
