I agree , I think the YouTube video was just that.... A YouTube video. He's doing more than required and is putting on a show.....I think :eek:
All I know is , if this guy tried hauling wood down a winter haul road, he'd be in the ditch before he even got to the log loader!

So a Canadian video eh?..... I'm thinking French Canadian !.....lol
I can say that , I'm French :)....just not THAT French.....lol

All three work...if you watch him shift..even at night..the third stick is the low to direct..then he just uses the other two..which is you gear and the direct and overdrive select...on a standard roadranger select shifter knob you have the pull up button for low to direct and the slide button for you direct and overdrive on your 13 and 18 speeds..oh also on the 8ll:D:D..my buddy did the two stick conversion on his 18spd..for his low to direct he put it on a switch in the dash just like they use to with the 15 over..deep reduction on the dash..old school=)

Cheer's, Neil.

I've driven an old white mixer 220 or 30 cummins and a 5+3 and it's fun to do so you know what it is like but, I wouldn't do it again as an everyday task for nothing, I get tired after shifting one all day. I feel wore out just watching it. This is just more reality TV mocking another occupation.

A real 2 or 3 stick truck does not use air to split,shift,range select....just saying...

Give me an old quad box and I will show you what twin sticking is about...

I used to slip seat a Ford & Diamond T dump trucks, 1 had 5 & 4, other one had a 4 & 4.
The fun part was, both stick's were opposite between the truck's.

Just found this one, a 450 ton Russian Haul truck. Reminds me of a 350 Payhauler.

Cheer's, Neil.

From left to right, the first 2 sticks are a 4 speed browni box, then a 5 speed main box. Looks as if they put an additional gearbox behind that set up.

I once drove a setup similar. There was a 4 speed brownie box, with a 5 speed main box, & behind that was mounted a modern 13 speed transmission. Other then show, there's never a need to move the 5 speed mainbox, but there is occasionally a usefulness to shift the brownie box.
