[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 7269347, member: 416"] Thank you. I did have to shave a fair bit off what I wanted for the Xerion, but it’s not an easy thing to move on. At the moment, 560 22.5 on the front and 600 on the rear. At the very least I would put the rears on the front and I think we could go up to 850 on the back, but it depends what’s available. The Allison auto box is, to my mind, the absolute pinnacle of transmission for my job. The Big A spreaders have always had them. They have constant power whilst changing up, whereas many supposedly auto boxes have a lag between gears. It would be hardly noticeable on a flat road, but on a soft field you would be stopped before you got up a gear. The Allison also has a lock up feature once full power is reached and will really hang on. It’s definitely the best option and very simple too. Plus the reliability is (usually!!) superb. In over 25 years of running Allison transmissions I have never had to replace one. They are also great and reasonably priced for service exchange units, should the worst happen. No brainer! [/QUOTE]
