IDK what air suspension that Mack had?I'm no trucky.
We got it new 480hp? It had a Mack engine was a awesome truck and worked hard for it's keep busting that rear control arm was about the only time it let us down but it may have had a little to much weight on it..
We also got a second new Mack to run next to this one it had a Volvo engine 500hp? anyways it was crap got recalled few months later for new crank and cams and stuffs it didn't do much work compered to the real Mack old faithful!.

Thanks Once I zoomed in those trees are a decent size
Yes I see now I was thinking the mills where still after oversize
It’s a similar situation here nobody is geared too cut big diameter timber
20ft or 6m is the longest as well

We still have a couple mills that deal with oversize/old growth but they're slowly dying off.
One, Starfire Lumber, in Cottage Grove, used to have some legendary butt logs in their yard.
They got few trees in the late 90's that were so big they had to be delivered on a low-boy (One
Doug Fir was 9 foot in diameter on the small end).
