Sunday 2nd July 2023 was a cold wet day in Central Australia so I took my grandson to the National Road Transport Hall Of Fame and found a couple of interesting Kenworth prime movers (tractor units) in the Kenworth pavilion.

WOW! The yellow one is a beast. Does it steer with both sets of front wheels?

Great pictures. Who woulda thunk there would be a two bedroom apartment behind the cab of the yellow truck?

Two beautiful big guys with so many tires on the yellow πŸ”΄πŸŸ‘πŸ”΄πŸŸ‘πŸ”΄ I have seen some here in the US with tractor-trailer combo with 26 wheels, but never as many as on your tractor.
