My grain truck is a 1990 IH 8100 with a Cummins L10 and 7 speed. Tandem rear air ride, 18' aluminum box and I carry about 18 tons. The way I use it, it works good a majority of the time. There are times on the road I wish I had speeds in between the seven, but not a big deal. If I were to load the truck in the field, and it settled into soft ground at all, I don't have a low enough gear to get going. Now my large cart takes care of that.

The only time I can skip low is when empty.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
