We don't actually work the Super A other than just the occasional raking hay for photo ops. My son (seen on the Super A) restored it as an Ag/FFA project his senior year of high school. My grandfather bought this tractor new in '52.
The DMF is the weak link in the ZF6 trucks, not the clutch necessarily. If you are consistently using a tuner, I don't think there is much difference between the ZF and Ally. All of my buddies with the Allison have limped their tranny running a tune. If you want to run high hp, you're gonna...
The dealer is Harvey-Ellis Motors in Columbia, KY. I'm not sure if they have a website or not, but you can call them to see what they have. The number is 270-384-2291 or 1-800-880-2290.
I was by there last week, looked like all reg. cabs, mainly C&C. I'll stop in and check the next time I'm by. If I'm not mistaken, there are 4 ZF6 trucks on the lot, not sure of years.
Since I live in a very rural, farming community, my dealer always had lots of ZF6s on the lot. They also know about the DMF, and other common problems with the 'max. They still have a few used ones on the lot.
You asked for opinions, so here's mine... I used to love stacks, but since every 16 year old with a Cummins decided it was cool, they lost favor with me. I can't figure out where all of these kids get the money to buy the truck (typically a Dodge), buy the fuel, and pay for the mods. Anyway...

I'm waiting for a few dry days to get my ryegrass rolled so the Sudan/sorghum can be drilled. Sowed some Teff grass today. Just finished up Spring calving season, about to move the bulls back in with the Spring herd. Hay cutting is coming just as soon as the weather allows.
