Mack R model Moving Equipment

[@gliderider7077]

Best truck ever built hands down imo

[@jonbender9110]

I totally agree nothing like a R Model Mack Truck

[@connornutsford4776]

Nah if have to disagree there my 79 w900 Kenworth and 08 Kenworth t408 have both done 3million kilometres without a rebuild or any major issues just a few tweaks here and there and could kick the r model Mack's ass all day long without breaking a sweat 😆

[@crazymixture57]

@@connornutsford4776 Cope harder, I see more R models in piss poor condition still doing every day loads and getting it done. Any old FuKenworthless I see are show trucks.

[@GMG455]

@@crazymixture57 King comment but both good, never see a KW daycab tractor. all are usually 790,000 dollars for no reason

[@jasonburks5911]

I like all trucks been a driver since I was 19 and still love to drive. My frist truck was a Dimond t mack twin stick.

[@AR_Javelin]

Say what they say, one of the best trucks ever made ✅

[@AR_Javelin]

In my country, Venezuela, you can find Mack R model everywhere, still working daily from side to side of the country!

[@AppalachianRust]

They keep going without complaining that’s for sure

[@davidforbes6250]

Glad to find your channel from Australii, just subscribed to see my favourite R Mods etc.

[@AppalachianRust]

Much appreciated. Glad to have you along.

[@raywilson800]

Now you have done it ! You went and made me have a Big Mack attack. I'm guessing around a 1977 or 78 R-700 300 plus 5-speed Maxitork trans.

[@AppalachianRust]

It’s actually around an 87 r600. It does have a 300 with a 5 speed.

[@davidnazario6646]

Mack Attack!👍😎

[@1219magnum]

Great video sir. 5 spd? My dad taught me to drive big trux on a red 5 spd Mack, 285 Maxidyne. Love u dad.

[@AppalachianRust]

Thank you yeah its a 5 speed, with a 300

[@billforeman3176]

Soon as the vid started I went back to 12 and 2100. Never forget where I come from

[@AppalachianRust]

Yep

[@robertovolpato406]

Bellissimo 😍😍😍😍😍my life i lke so much

[@carldrexler7883]

Get yourself a spray bottle and put fuel in it and spray those ratchet binders and they’ll work smooth as greased lightning and stay like that a long time 😉

[@AppalachianRust]

Yeah always start crankin on em and say need to oil these binders up hahaha

[@actionjackson5270]

Nice to see another Mack hard at work!!

[@petersipp5247]

Love to ride with you...liked it better if the music was a little quieter.

[@AppalachianRust]

Thank you. Check out some of the later videos. Less music

[@КакдостатьМошенника]

Эххххх братишка жаль что видео не до конца я тоже 👍

[@chrismurnane6389]

V8 Maxidyne....Good operator.

[@AppalachianRust]

This is an R600… but I’ll have a vid of a R700 Dump waking up after a 10 + year sleep

[@scottp4063]

Black smoke means your making money 💰

[@James-kd7dc]

Shift up using your Dynatard. Shifts ill be lightning quick...

[@AppalachianRust]

Oh yeah I shift like that a lot. Have to on hilly roads

[@eddieweigel9490]

Good ole R model what year is it I drive a 88 R model tandem dump 285 with a 12 spd gear box that seems to be a 5 spd by the looks of the shifter unless it’s a mud stick 6spd 300 Mack engine????

[@AppalachianRust]

I believe it’s a 87. It’s got a 300 and 5 speed. Rides like a Cadillac compared to the DM I drive

[@eddieweigel9490]

@@AppalachianRust Definitely smoother ride I drove a dm 685sx tin nose 20,000 pound steer 65,000 rears on both and a dm 886sx I love them these Mack’s ain’t nothing like them at all they can keep all these new trucks along with the def egr computers all plastic trash

[@alirezahosseini3881]

I love mack r 600

[@AppalachianRust]

They are great handling trucks

[@chrismurnane6389]

I think you will find that it's an R 700

[@AppalachianRust]

@@chrismurnane6389 it’s a R600 with a 300 engine

[@jeffarfman3962]

Amazing

[@joedoakes8307]

Will you ever graduate into a somewhat new dozer , If parts become almost impossible to find so you can keep the old one running ?

[@AppalachianRust]

We’ve got two komatsu dozers close in size that have 6 way blades. They are a late 90s or early 2000 model I’m not sure right off. Parts for the Allis Chalmers are almost nonexistent now. We’ve got a bone yard behind the shop though.

[@jamiemittan5380]

Take me for a ride😢

[@jordanfontes7269]

How many speeds on that Mack tractor?

[@AppalachianRust]

It’s a 5 speed. There is another R model with a 9 speed, but it needs some work.

[@DoriClement-fe6tj]

I was going to say a 6 speed. But after watching I can see it's a 5 speed. Takes some patience to shift one of those transmissions after you come out another truck with a 10 or 13 speed. It has been a long time since I drove that R600 one stack Mack with the window out the back with the single stick 5. Nice vid and be safe out there.

[@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006]

The driver proof 5 spd, one of the first trucks I drove.

[@eddieweigel9490]

5 speed or a 6 spd mud stick

[@eddieweigel9490]

@@DoriClement-fe6tjBelieve me they are in no rush to shift those 5 speed gear boxes unless you bump the Jake then you can slide it in quicker that’s what I do a little harder with the Mack dynatard very sensitive will stall an engine quick with the dynatard
