Well, I can't say that we have much more than small hills around here. No long extended grades to pull up.
And no way did I pull 10K lbs or even 8K lbs w/o electric brakes for any extended miles. I don't have a controller dedicated to My H2 because I always think I won't pull that much because we have 2 3/4 ton pickups and my Denali XL that pulls much better. Each time I know I am going to pull that much weight I pull the controller from the Denali and temporarily install in the H2. That's not to say that I haven't pulled the tractor (10k lbs including trailer and equip.) 10-15 miles without the controller installed because it was a spur of the moment thing.
I haven't permanently installed a controller because there is no good place that doesn't hit a knee or something. I'll end up mounting one some day when I decide where I want to put it. I have been thinking of dremeling a hole in some portion of the dash if I could figure a way out to finish the edge of the hole.
