what do you think will happen?
I have hauled a grove crane that wieghs about 70,000lbs, 100,000lbs including the truck and a D8 cat with a 14 foot wide blade and rippers that wieghs about 85,000lbs, 115,000lbs including the truck and i used the clutch to get moving and then never touch it again till i stop.
it just take's some practice and a few miles under your belt. as far as whitch transmission i prefer. i like a 18 speed, most of the time i drive it like it is a 8 speed but it is nice to be able to split the gears when you need too.
