My grain truck is a 1990 IH 8100 with a Cummins L10 and 7 speed. Tandem rear air ride, 18' aluminum box and I carry about 18 tons. The way I use it, it works good a majority of the time. There are times on the road I wish I had speeds in between the seven, but not a big deal. If I were to load the truck in the field, and it settled into soft ground at all, I don't have a low enough gear to get going. Now my large cart takes care of that. If I get on the interstate, I don't have a gear high enough to let the motor back off, and really cruise. But I am very seldom on an interstate. There are certain roads/hills I avoid like the plague, as I don't have an engine brake. Unlike a road ranger, where there may some bottom gears not used a lot, I need every gear when loaded. The only time I can skip low is when empty.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
