What's the advantage of 8 bag? Our T800 gets stuck on wet grass and rides like a baby buggy...Our Pete Low Air Leaf goes all the same places and never gives us any fits getting hung up?

Non torque reactive so the driveline stays straight. Pre 2011ish low leaf is a bushing eater, newer version is way better. 8 bag will carry a bigger load. If your getting stuck you should try staying on the road, last couple times I’ve been stuck the suspension wouldn’t have made any difference when the housings are plowing ditches. Lol

We have to offroad in this business...even though farmers always tell us "we get trucks in here all the time"

Maybe a single axle and 30' hopper...

Aren’t you hauling off road equipment? Bring the tractor to the semi not the other way around.

Yea they always want you to get in their crappy location but never offer to pay the $500 wrecker bill to get you out.

If you have a ****ty power divider 8 bag will get stuck on wet grass.

Only thing more worthless than a semi off road is a forklift or a dually pickup

Problem is we always have something that has to be lifted off, ie headers or tires, or something. Have to go to them and deal with it...It's not a problem anymore, the Pete does all the OTR stuff, and my brother runs the KW, so he just gets a hell of a run at it

I guess I should be a little more specific, a 2wd dually. But a 4wd just gets you farther off-road so the tow bill is more.

I know, I did jobsite delivery’s for years. Always want it dropped over the river and through the woods. Did it for a while when I had a better attitude, then as stuff got tore up and my time got wasted stuff stayed close to pavement.

Signature600 · 08-20-2019, 11:14 AM

Yeah, I agree, but trucking is a necessary evil for us. We have to be able to move it when we need it moved, and how, not just when someone else can get to us.

Not a lot of green out here north of Moab Utah

dieselbeef · 08-21-2019, 05:56 AM

moab is awesome...

malibu795 · 08-21-2019, 01:07 PM

Definitely on the bucket list... Playing tourist in a 59' CMV isn't easy

4x4dually · 08-21-2019, 02:39 PM

Ya, it looks gorgeous...with all those rocks...and shrubs...and dirt.

Leiffi... with all the technological advancements that the Euros have. Is that all there is?

These are working trucks, closer to canadian b-class which has 81mm inducer limit. A-class is different, Caterpillars that have 0 original Cat parts, commonrail fuel system from Cummins, aftermarket ECM , those are only 50000 dollars. But they run great. That started about 3 years ago, before that I was not impressed.

Somewhere between 900-1000 hp.

Found an interesting sheet about transmission losses, only gearbox, would be nice to know rearend losses also. Not much losses through gearbox if driving in direct.

JWhite · 09-02-2019, 04:02 PM

In direct you aren't loading the counter shafts. Power goes straight through the main shaft
