    My design team is working on it right .. We plan to offer multiple pedals depending on your application .. as you know the cow hauler pedal has been proven over time .. .. The Prototype meat hauler that you have been field testing seems to be working well I I just sent out a custom desgined heavy hauler pedal that @Oxbow finaly agreed to test hope hope the testing results come back favorable
    We're working on a Experimental model that is still in the Design stage .. but I've recevied numerous requests from Grain haulers for a hand clutch .. I just received the blessing from the DOT that it will be legal as long as they have a hopper bottom trailer
    On a side not my publisher just call me this moring telling me there been a suddden surge in demand for this phantom clutch operating maunel
    So business is booming

    We'll give it a try, I just hope it has some traction on it. We ain't no hardwood floor take your shoes off at the door kinda outfit. It would take all day to load a piece of equipment at that rate.

    I tend to double clutch on the low side when heavy or on an incline. Over time I've found that I'm too lazy to split through the low side with an 18spd except in seriously steep or heavy scenarios. I find it easier to come out of gear at 3mph without losing momentum under a load when clutching out however when empty I don't even consider the clutch.

    The 12spd auto in our Cascadia is so much easier to drive... I just don't know how to get others to recognize how cool I am while driving the auto, no matter how much air I let out of the seat or what stage I set the jakes on nobody even takes a second glance at me... Maybe an extended shifter or a faux twin stick setup will change that???
