Big Lizzie

Is this a truck or a tractor, its not a train as it doesn't run on rails, I could be wrong it might be a road train I presume there is a engine in the shed

That was fascinating, thanks for putting it up.

I have a similar photo and hand writen on it is "Tare weight - 64 ton, 837 bags of wheat = 75 ton " thats a gross of 139 ton .......not bad for a single cylinder and no formed roads.
Both trailers had fuel tanks under them and they reckon that the noise of those "feet" could be heard for mile away, clever invention.

Good question ?

If it doesnt run on rails ,,,,,Was made to operate in out back areas where there was little in the way

of roads,,,,,,,May be an off road road train ?

Heres a coupla pics from a few years back,where it lives down Mildura way......

That link of Bill's shows clearly the fuel tanks beneath the tractor and trailers, no servos then.
That link has some weird looking vehicles in it too.

wow, amazing. Must be packing some torque... Imagine asking someone in a truck nowadays to pull a combo of 139t with 60HP

True but everyone wants to do 100kph up and down hills!
