Best Answer

It's a matter of opinion. Some drivers like the fully automatic transmissions, and the Eaton SmartShift is a popular model. Those who drive on unimproved roads or do heavy haul tend to prefer the Eaton Fuller 18 speed, while over-the-road drivers who own their own trucks tend to prefer either the 13 or 18 speed.

Depends on what type of tractor and trailer you had in mind. For a farm tractor pulling a trailer, it's usually a pintle on the tractor which is run through a clevice on the trailer.
