Re: Heavy Machines powered by GM diesels or Detroits

I had known that, i meant more modern tractors with detroits, somethin to compete with ih, j.i.case and deere, as well as ford. I suppose the closest would be the kinze repowered deeres, those all had detroits, some i think were v12's.

I'm sure it's some insane amount that only a government agency could afford. It's got a 12V71 just to power the auger!



Screenshot the ad so it's up here forever.

Re: Heavy Machines powered by GM diesels or Detroits

In Iraq I drove one of these.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_E...Tactical_Truck

Mine was the M984 Wrecker. there wasn't much that I asked it to do that it couldn't do.

Funny story, I had a muffler go bad on us out in the field so we straight piped that bad boy for the last 100 miles of the convoy.
The sound of that turbo spinning up is still music to my ears.

They could probably hear you for miles and miles.

Sure is a pretty big rig.
