[QUOTE="Waterloo, post: 698733, member: 22620"]Let me say I do not own a WS and never have. But, you are talking of gearing and tires. My 07 Volvo 780 runs the 24.5's, Super Single equivalent on the drives. 13 speed with 3:42 gears with power coming from a Cummins 530hp ISX. She pulls great with this set up even grossed out in the hills. I rarely get stuck in the right lane while pulling a hill and can eat a Cat for lunch. The fuel mileage right now pulling a van is roughly between 7-7.7 mpg, as long as I keep my foot out of it. Right now she is just breaking in at 130,000 miles on the odo. And the tractor itself weighs, with full tanks, right at 21,500 lbs. Mike[/QUOTE]
