[QUOTE="rushfan, post: 399276, member: 1631"] Back to the real discussion at hand....tractors..... I am new to feeders (1.5 years). I wish I could have driven the MH or Diamond (death traps as one of the veterans said) just for the experience. No power steering nor a.c. No smoke stacks, just pipes under the frame. When they would pre-trip, you could get carbon monoxide poisoning. We have Internationals, and Macks here. The mechanics absolutely hate the "corn binders" as the Cummins engine is not as reliable as the Mack. The engines are plagued with electronic problems, and at least a couple of times a week, the tractors are taken to the local Cummins dealer for warranty work. Not much leg room also. I prefer the Mack. On the other hand, I too can sleep like a baby in the Mack. I bring along a foam pad to put on the metal "bench" I lay on my side, wedged between the IVIS and back wall of the cab. One driver even repositioned the IVIS at an angle in one of our tractors. He got in trouble doing so, however, with it at and angle, I can sleep on my back and dream. [/QUOTE]
