Preparing the road for Timber trucks, Sweden

Volvo FMX 500, Massey Ferguson 8480 and Ljungby L13 working together to make the road strong enough to carry the timber trucks. Drivers: Jim Floxe and Johan Bredenberg, Grangärde Åkeri AB.

I drove my motorhome across the center of Sweden in 2014. Amazed to find over 100miles [160k] of unpaved road in front of me, averaged 45mph [70kph] !!! Best paved roads too. Brilliant Swede road biulders!!!

Two things really got my attention: 1. Having the truck and tractor drivers operate the loader as well, cuts costs in a small operation like this. 2. Having the truck double as a motor grader is neat: no need to buy and transport an extra machine. Once again a great solution for this particular application.

Nice to see a wheel loader painted in a different color besides yellow.

[@howardfortyfive9676]

WOW *that was super cool! Never seen dumptrucks with built in spreading blades b4.*

[@raymondswarmer1433]

Used a lot for snow removal

[@regsparkes6507]

The Volvo truck is very well equipped,.we never see trucks like this here where I live in Canada. This is why our trucks are pretty well worn out ( from abuse like bad haul roads ) by the time they are 5 years old it seems. There's a whole different way of thinking apparent here in these videos. Great stuff! Really good videography too.

Riktigt fin film kul med lite underbett och så :)

These guys really take care of their truckers. These are better than Our asphalt/tarred roads. I would still have a spine if they would do this for us.

[@rudysimmonds3252]

Very Nice work.

[@Builder99]

[@raitisselengovs810]

[@eliashansson7166]

Jaså , nu vet jag varför det kallas Timberlimosuine ! bra video också.

[@Nordmore68]

Smoothe! :) MF 8480, Sisu 8,4 liter, 290 hk? :)

[@jamesbradley1695]

Good video but it doesn't say exactly what they are spreading on the track. Just broken limestone or what?

[@raitisselengovs810]

i would love to work in swedan to drive the timber truck

[@davidpehrson2368]

Strålande, som vanligt, och en fråga; Varför snurrar inte rullen med massa "spetsar" på? Eller snurrar den bara när man vill typ rugga upp ytan/få bort det som ligger under, typ snö och is?

[@boscopanther6915]

the answer is because they are scandy.... the trademark of scandinavia.... theres many thing we can learn from them..... in my place a new truck only last for 4 or 5 years before turning into an old rusty crushed tuna can..... no on their place where a 60 year old vabis is still running.... thats the different...

Det var en lyxig väg för timmerkörning det att man kör ut grus innan.
