[QUOTE="misterG, post: 3944628, member: 25049"]What engine do you have? This sounds like a couple of tractors that I drive. One is a single axle Freightliner Columbia, with a CAT motor, and it shifts comparatively slow. The engine doesn't spin as fast. The second is a twin screw Freightliner Century with an MBE4000 engine. This one has an incredibly tight (gears are very close together) pattern and the engine builds RPM'S very quickly. Both shift well around 1500, but the Century shifts very fast, and the Columbia shifts quite slowly.[/QUOTE]
