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. If I get on the interstate, I don't have a gear high enough to let the motor back off, and really cruise. But I am very seldom on an interstate. There are certain roads/hills I avoid like the plague, as I don't have an engine brake. Unlike a road ranger, where there may some bottom gears not used a lot, I need every gear when loaded. The only time I can skip low is when empty.
