    Not sure, but if you can hum a few notes I could probably play it on the guitar....

    And one other snide comment or question, in this case: If it's a W900 Rooster Cruiser, why is there a photo of a Pumpkin Century??????

    The man who makes everything that leads to happiness depends upon himself, and not upon other men, has adopted the very best plan for living happily. This is the man of moderation, the man of manly character and of wisdom.

    Good grief!!! :shock:

    Glade you were not hurt.

    So far, just out of my experience with different tractors, I would say I like KW's for their ride quality.

    The cummins engines for their drivability(I know what my brother is talking about now).

    But the detroits & cats pull very well.

    The smoothest shifting was the freightliner I drove at school.

    The "better" truck may not be the best value truck. Sure you can get a better truck than Freightliner, but you probably can't get a better value. :mrgreen:

    My next truck is going to be a kw w900 with a c15 cat at 625hp. The best riding truck I ever drove was 2001 Mack CH613 with a MACK 454hp and a 10spd
