Direct drive in LLSS December 03, 2020 01:30PM
Anyone ever try running direct and just reverse in a LLSS. If so can it compete? I understand hand having gear selection is an adventage, and this is the power of a light super, but I’m curious if it’s been tried or if it works

I only have 2 gears & they are about 50/50 in usage.

The second Blue Blazes was direct drive. We converted it to a LL for the second owner, put a lower gear rear end in it and kept it direct drive! Not sure what set up the current owner has in it!

Does it force you to have play with drawbar more often?

I ran for year and half with only direct. On sticky tracks or if running in 7000 lbs. open class i would play with drawbar. Now have atlas max 3 speed and about 80% time run direct.
