We have some currently, most work just fine. My theory is, they remind too many of the days on the farm, where most medium duty trucks had a 5x2 transmission. I will take a Super 10 all day long over an auto-shift/automatic.
LoneRanger, bzinger, Northern Nomad and 4 others Thank this. -
I just bought a K100 with a Super 10 in it, and I love it. Prior to finding this tractor, I had never even heard of the transmission and I’ve been in trucking for about seventeen years.
bzinger Thanks this. -
I've only drove 8 and 9 and only in yard trucksLast edited: Jul 15, 2022

They're fine. Ya just have to be the tiniest bit smarter than the transmission, and you'll get along with it fine.
Mine is behind a 430hp detroit. I dont know how high of torque rating they ever made the super to take, but once engines started getting too hot for the current at the time model, and enough complaints came in from drivers that could'nt figure out how to shift it, they likely decided to drop the model. IMO.bzinger Thanks this.
