Semi Truck Get's Buried At Sand Hollow!

[@kstricl]

All the people worried that the morrvair was going to be super heavy - sometimes you need the mass. I'm almost more impressed by the ropes and soft shackles holding up.

[@rickshiandmoku4128]

I think it's only about a thousand pounds more than the jeep. Those huge tires are really helping distribute the mass. They created a hell of a rig that's for sure 🤙

[@adamcosta4610]

The shackle for sure . I thought that might fail . Shame On me

[@brianhaygood183]

@@rickshiandmoku4128 That semi tractor is probably something like 12,000 pounds. So, it is only 2.5x the Morrvair, but 3 times the Jeep. When kinetic energy is your tool, that means a heckuva lot. The huge tires help once you are rolling, though. Jeep just would have had to get a little more speed up, but probably would have done this one. Great to see how each change has its pros and cons.

[@ITubeTooInc]

And all the people worried that the MORR crew eats very unhealthy at the gas stations - sometimes you need the mass. Haha. Like in this video where they all had to sit on the back of the trailer. :-)

[@brianhaygood183]

@@chrisestill8825 No. F=ma. KE=1/2*mv^2, so the speed has a bigger influence than mass in the amount of energy. If you want to get picky, once you've put that energy into the system, the impact of the banana on the end of the rope will still impart a lower percentage of that energy to the truck due to the faster deceleration of the banana, which imparts force for a shorter time, decreasing the impulse on the truck. End result: the banana can do it, but has to travel a little faster so it puts in more energy, so the same force can be imparted to the truck in the end.

Dunno bout that. I predict the axles breaking on it. Every video ive seen on it. The front axle has way too much bounce. Bouncing when at a stand still still is what breaks axle shafts. Dont care how big the axles are on that. You never wanna see bouncing like that. Everytime the axle jumps up then lands back down putting the tires in a spin then stop suddenly is a ton of force on the bearings and axle shafts

Yet another Super recovery by Matt &Co. I was called to a tow in the winter on ice, Sandy told me it was a small trailer called a "Lowboy". The driver assured me my little 11,000lb Ford tow truck will yank his semi + lowboy out of where it sank in the ice overnight. I said, "OK, let's do some quick math here." He was correct, but the county power pole was twitching & wagging like an over excited puppy dawg, as my twin line was boom up and overtop my cab to the pole. This focused all the load directly onto the head of the twin line boom. Recoveries are the Ultimate test of your skill sets. Great video and recovery by the entire counter-weight crew.

In case anyone is wondering, a few numbers. That's an International 9200i daycab with a single "screw", 2001-2007 vintage. Depending on the engine/trans combo it likely weighs in around 14k lbs. Most of that weight is right on the steers. Somewhere in the 8500-9500 range. Tires appear to be 295/75-22.5 lo pro so around 40". Once the Morevair got that front end out of the holes it was gonna roll... its ALWAYS the steers that dig on a bobtail tractor. The rears have more float, even on a single screw than needed.

[@anthonyaubuchon765]

@@TheMrmoc7 The sand is soft and he was traveling slightly up hill. When he's spun out he tried to back up to get another run with more momentum. The trailer was starting to turn off to one side. He stopped and tried to pull forward and he spun out. So he backed up a little more and the trailer will go more sideways. Try to pull forward again and he's spun out again. Every time he would try to back up a little to get unstuck the trailer would go more sideways. Then he decided to unhook the trailer to try to get on firmer ground with the tractor. Now he has all of his weight on the skinny tires in the front and with out the weight of the trailer on the back the dual rear tires set on top of the sand with no traction and plows the heavy front end down in the sand. Then you're just spinning the rears and they bury themselves too. That's exactly how that happened.

[@anthonyaubuchon765]

@@Ares-jx4ep He didn't just jackknife the trailer in one fail swoop. When he spun out he was trying to back up a little to get another run. Every time he would back up a little at a time the trailer would just get further and further out of shape. Then he decided to unhook to get the tractor on more solid ground and he buried it. It's always best to stay under your trailer. Without it you have no traction with duals. I was getting unloaded at a job site and it was a muddy sloppy mess. Watched another driver trying to get unstuck. His trailer was actually in pretty decent shape but his tractor was in softer mud. He was trying to get turned around and spun out. He got the bright idea if he dropped his trailer and came at it from a different angle he could get himself unstuck. As soon as he pulled out from under and he was done. Now he had the whole freaking thing blocked and I had to sit there for 3 hours till the tow truck come and got him out.

I was thinking more, what was he doing there in the first place.

Briefly had doubts when you showed the truck. Briefly! Edit: Everybody have a safe Memorial Day Weekend and take a moment to Remember the Fallen Heroes.

I saw the truck in the thumbnail, then I saw it's only 9 minutes, then I saw the Morrvair, and I knew it was gonna be pretty easy. Also, I gave you a like for mentioning the Fallen Heroes. Thank you.
