    The Eaton auto shifts smoother then I do but it shifts at very low and high rpms sometimes. It also doesn't know that you're in a turn or going over RR tracks and if you're not careful it will shift.

    Mine will occasionally rev up to 2,200 rpm. Not only that but it will sit there for A COUPLE SECONDS before it figures out it should shift. Wtf??? Probably not supposed to pull that stupid #### now is it...

    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Bean planter from last weekend. There ended up being 3 extra skids, 4 extra arms/heads, a box of parts in the bed, and then the manuals and control box in the cab. I was FULL.

    @Chewy352 and @Oscar the KW
    Thanks again for the help/patience. I used the bulkhead lessons to build a platform for the leg. Same idea, just the leg was hanging in mid air. Used four 4x4s like a bulkhead for support.

    Been watching this thread for a while and figured I'd finally add some of my own photos.

    2 stops to get me home from Texas. Liner for a landfill on the front and pipe for a fire sprinkler system in back.

    Mostly tarped load I took out to Vancouver Island a few weeks ago. In the crate is a new rotating element for a pump and under the tarp is the shafting and all the old parts they copied. They wanted the old stuff back because it had to be scrapped in Canada.

    Moved 2 of these water pumps last fall with another of our drivers. Didn't get a good picture of mine this was the one on his trailer. Both of them had to be fully tarped as well. No pictures of that either unfortunately. Each one of them is rated at 146,000 GPM. Went to a Natural Gas power plant that was replacing an old coal plant next to it.

    Die lifter for the stamping plant at the Ford Louisville Truck Plant. The black parts of the tarp are thin parachute material. Was only 10' wide up top but going down the road it was closer to 15' at some points. Had a hell of a time trying to keep it tarped.

    Unfortunately our local guy picked this one up for me and the shop guys tarped it. They don't usually tarp things though so I wound up redoing most of it anyways along the way.

    Happy I only had to move this across town. I think it was a blade for something inside a Hydro dam. Not totally sure.
