Oshkosh M1070 The Best and most beautiful truck in US Army | Oshkosh M1070 Stuck | M1070 Off-Road

#Oshkosh #M1070 #diesel
The Oshkosh M1070 is widely considered to be one of the best and most beautiful tank transporter tractor units ever built. As a workhorse of the U.S. Army's logistics operations, it's capable of hauling heavy loads over long distances, and it's been in service for decades due to its remarkable durability and reliability.
One of the most impressive things about the M1070 is its sheer power. Equipped with a Caterpillar C18 engine that produces 700 horsepower, it's capable of towing a maximum of 70 tons, making it a crucial asset in transporting tanks and other heavy armored vehicles. The M1070's incredible strength is coupled with advanced features such as hydraulic winches, air suspension, and an advanced braking system, making it a highly maneuverable vehicle in even the toughest of terrains.
But the M1070 isn't just powerful - it's also incredibly versatile. Its size and capabilities make it ideal for a wide range of logistical applications. For example, the vehicle can be equipped with a fifth-wheel trailer, allowing it to tow other equipment and cargo. Additionally, the M1070 can be used as a recovery vehicle, capable of rescuing disabled vehicles from even the most challenging of terrains.
Beyond its impressive functionality, the M1070 is also considered to be a thing of beauty. Its sleek and modern design, coupled with its massive size, make it an awe-inspiring sight to behold. The vehicle's spacious and comfortable cab provides a haven for drivers and passengers alike, making long journeys more bearable.
In short, the Oshkosh M1070 is a remarkable feat of engineering and design, one that has earned a well-deserved reputation as the best and most beautiful tank transporter tractor unit in the U.S. Army's logistics fleet. Whether in the field or on display, the M1070 is an impressive sight that inspires awe and respect. And with its combination of power, versatility, and stunning design, it's easy to see why this incredible machine has captured the imagination of so many people.

Oshkosh used to build big heavy duty rotary snowplows that were real beasts, too.

Perfect for dropping down to Walmart for some milk and vegies and picking up the kids from school.

Seems like just a big heavy tractor that's always stuck somewhere.

[@johncunningham4820]

The Text made a Mistake . Powerplant of choice in the Oshkosh HET is the 8V92 Detroit , which your EARS should tell you from the Video . Every single One of the Vehicles shown was Two-Stroke Detroit powered . Certainly not C - 18 Caterpillar .

[@walentinjanowsky]

Only the first clip had M1070A1 in it, they run on C-18's. All the others, the A0-Version, run on 8V92 like you correctly pointed out

[@chrismanning1171]

When I was in the Army in the field or deployed we got alot of calls to pull equipment out of mud or sand. Especially the HMMTT wrecker. That thing was always getting stuck in the mud. Drove the M1070/M1000 for three years in Germany, Europe, and deployed down range.

[@atomicjoc3771]

Too heavy and no diff lock

[@chrismanning1171]

@atomicjoc3771 The tractor is not that heavy compared to the Hemit wrecker. There is a diff lock you can lock in 6x8 or 8x8. I now because I have gotten the tractor/trailer stuck in mud. Had use my winches to pull myself out.

​@chrismanning1171 I was wondering if it had diff lockers . Thanks. So the guy in the last part of this video didn't have it locked up correctly? I get the feeling many of the stuck 1070s are due to error between seat and steering wheel. Just an observation.

In iraq I always felt the most safe on the road riding in a HET even though always getting out to change trailer tires

[@scooterbobscout]

This truck had a Detroit 8v71 2 stroke deisel in it. Some models may have the cat engine but MOST ALL of them came with the 8v71 detroit.

[@chrismanning1171]

Yes, it has a differential lock for 8x8 or 6x8. Also, it has tire deflation, which he should have used in the last part of the video. I have gotten my HET with loaded trailer stuck a few times and used both to get me unstuck. In worst case I used my winches, hooked up to either the truck behind me or a tree and pulled myself out. If I was really stuck we unloaded the tank before trying to drive or winch out.

[@ryanwaege7251]

All in the skill of the operator; many of my NG unit's drivers drove commercial semi civvie side. Their wisdom & experience passed down to all us GI Bill kiddos served us well in Iraq. No casualties & always exceeded command's expectations. My section, maintenance, also went above & beyond doing depot-level work on the regular right in our deck-plate motorpool shop.

[@chrismanning1171]

@@ryanwaege7251 Yeah I drove commercial Freight liner, Kenworth, White, Ford 9000, and a 56 pack Blue Bird when I was assigned to the Transportation Motorpool in the Army pulling refrigerated trailers from base to base to replenish their chow halls. Did a little commercial driving when I was a contractor running a MACK tow truck and HEMMT wrecker for the Army in Kuwait and Iraq doing recovery. But a little bit more specific knowledge and training is needed with the HET as with any type of equipment. Beside driving it I was a unit driver instructor for the HET. Drivers did two weeks of training in the motorpark, so many shotgun hours and driving hours. Loading and recovery. We even had training on driving the tanks because sometimes we would show up to pick up a load and there were no operators to drive the tracks onto the trailer. In my unit mostly E5's and up drove the HET and a few highspeed E4's.

[@TheKubelman]

1:23. "So join us as we take a ride in one of the U.S. Army's..." What "ride" would that refer to? Just a compilation of other people's footage with narration straight from a sales brochure. You even mention the wonderful cab interior yet never show it. Because you were no where near one for this post.

It is only as good as the tread on its tires. And when the road surface doesn't cooperate the tires will spin and spin for a decade while the vehicle goes nowhere.

You can apply that theory to any wheeled vehicle but that's not the point of this video.

Yes Oshkosh are impressive powerful machines, but no diff locks on a very long wheelbase off road vehicle, that was the fail here! Back in the 70’s I owned a tiny Haflinger (4WD front and rear lockers) just 700cc and it would have carried a 250ltr water cargo though a foot deep of mud with ease. (most likely without lockers) Disappointed with Oshkosh performance here but “every 4,6,8WD even a tracked vehicle has there limit” LesC.
