Subject: Is there anything wrong with a Detroit Diesel/Mercedes


South-central Nebraska
I want to buy a semi this winter to pull a 42-43 ft grain hopper and flatbed for spraying. Everyone wants or thinks (so it seems) that they need a Cat folllowed by a Cummins followed by a stinking Detroit or blankety blank Mercedes. Am I missing something? Did the old screamin Detroits of years past leave a bad impression? We had two old 4 cyl Detroit irrigation engines in the late 70's.

I found some Freighliner Columbias with 450 Mercedes and Freedomlines that seem kind of attractive. Haven't looked yet. Are the DD and Mercedes one and the same now? (Daimler??)
