Default 3 stick shifting

Anybody seen this video on youtube? I'm still figuring it out, I think it's a 13 speed RoadRanger with the range and splitter on separate lever's, instead of the standard shift knob setup.

I guess it's me but I would hate it. Things have come too far today to be going backwards like that. Might be fun for a few minutes than it would feel like driving something from the 1960's.

Sorry.

Well after 50 years of driving to each his own but if he had enough power under the hood he would not need all those gears. That shifting gets old after a while but i do not like those air shift either just get stuck with one and have to rock it and is won't let you change gears you have to let it set for time. Ed

I cut my teeth on "box's" 4 x 4 and 5 x 4, never got to try a 6 x 4, don't miss them, but never knew what a tight set was like. Just somebody else's worn out scrap metal. I'll stick with my 18 speed for now!

Interesting to see what people come up with for show truck's!

Cheer's, Neil.

Yeah that would be the fun way to shift a 13 speed for about 5 minutes on a straight road lol! Looks like he just put 2 shift levers on some air valves to take the handy dandy shifter with 2 levers on it and throw it in the toolbox until he gets tired of this! Interesting I'll give him that.

Reminds me of a tractor I used to drive...

Gear levers:
Shuttle shift - fwd/rev with splitter on the front - synchro'd with power shift
Main box - 5 speed - syncro'd
Range - 4 speed(with creep) - syncro'd

Total ratios: 40 fwd, 40rev
Max speed: 40km/hr fwd & rev

No where near as much bling in the tractor cab, and a lot more dust(even with the air con cab)...

Cheers,
Ap

I don't get that either Goose...I drive a 18 all day and never pull it out of gear when I split...and I don't pre select till I'm ready to change a gear..this way no pressure on the fork and valve

Maybee, to make it look more complicated than it is??
Have a friend here in Sweden who has a 2 stick but that a real one with 2 gearboxes.
I would never put a second or third stick to manuever the split and/or range in my gearbox.

All I can say , let im go through the mountains here all day doing that you loose to much momentum doin all that fancy shiftin . Give me a 13 speed RR with the air shift any day . Ed , don't understand the air shifting issue while rockin it unless they gave you worn out baby motors . I never had issues with any of them I drove , from a 549 IH gasser with a 6613 to 400 BC cummins with a 13 .

That moe-ron should loose his cdl for posting such a retarded video... not only is he sitting on the floor, barely able to see over the dash, but now no hands on the steering wheel everytime he makes a shift!

I've driven twin sticks before and I never had to let go of the steering wheel to make a shift.

Do you guys in the states not have to get your rigs safetied every six months? No way would that BS fly up here! That trk would be put oos till it was properly fitted.

Someday when he strikes a pot hole or catches a rut, perhaps with a great deal of luck he'll only kill himself!

There aint nothing cool about supertruckers, all they do is ruin it for everybody else in the profession!

I hear ya! $10 says that's a temporary setup just for fun and if you went and looked at that truck today it would have a regular knob on top of a regular single shifter lol! As much starting and stopping as we do in a Farm situation that would be a nightmare lol!

Well holy smokes, do I ever have egg on my face!!!

I read Irving in one of the comments and thought it was California. I watched less than 2mins & was so disgusted with such a pityfull display of professionalism that I didn't look to see where it was from... my appologies for assuming it was my southern neighbor.

Never-the-less, he's still a Retard for doing it! And especially so b/c the roads throughout Canada are no where near as perfect as 90% of the USA! I hope he looses his license for doing something so dangerous & with such utter disregard for the safety of others who share the road with him!
