#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.

[mattdixon]

I don’t really NEED one of these but I really WANT one.
Just gotta find a place to park it!

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 .

I can't be the only one smiling about that ol'5 ton holding it's own at 1:15

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.

They trust those chains much more than they should

[tiger_icecoldlive]

I like how at 1:50 the rotating wheels of the M1070 are almost synchronized with the camera shutter speed, so the look almost static while the vehicle is moving and it gives the whole picture a very weird and unreal look :D

[chrismanning]

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.

impressive and effective to astounding degrees

[espanol_piloto]

Дизайну уделили больше внимания чем техническим характеристикам

[michaelmcdonald]

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

[rrud]

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

[thomastaylor]

Drove many of these huts as there called referring to jaba the hut. Yeah picked them up in Oshkosh Wisconsin and took them across the state and delivered to Volk field in North central wisconsin

[domcummins]

That's truly a well built beast!!

[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.

[occashares]

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

[lexxflaber]

Looks like this "engineering marvel" has no inter-wheel differential locks. If so, it is much less useful than it could be.

The monster of monsters in truck world

[JimMachain]

Pronounce M Ten/Seventy . There were two series. A powered by the famed Detroit Diesel 8V92TTA producing 500hp coupled with an Allison automatic 5 speed transmission and A1 powered by a Caterpillar C13 producing 700hp! . Iconic HET ❤

[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.
