The Hawke’s Bay K220 Aerodyne Dream Machine

Take a deep dive into one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking livestock trucks—a stunning Kenworth K220 Aerodyne working the rolling hills of Hawke’s Bay. In this episode of 6 Foot Behind the Bullbar, we follow Clifton Smith’s remarkable journey from wash-bay kid to professional livestock operator, and how his lifelong dream of owning an iconic Kenworth finally roared to life on rural Kiwi roads.With the warm wit and observational charm of James May, we explore the geography of Hawke’s Bay, the heritage of Farmers Transport, the evolution of the K-Series, and the craftsmanship behind Clifton’s refurbished five-axle stock trailer and beautifully striped Aerodyne cab.Whether you’re a Kenworth fan, a livestock industry insider, or simply love great trucking stories, this episode offers an inspiring look at passion, perseverance, and one magnificent K220 working the countryside.For the full story and all the photos, visit: kenworthdownunder.comSpecial thanks to Rod Simmonds for filing this story.
