What is the terrain like where you live? If you have lots of hilly roads, you will be disappointed in the 9 speed.
TRUE tri-axle?

Your absolutely correct. Your blue circle is the spring to lift the axle. I had that style on an R Model dump truck.

Well, just a tractor, but anyhow
Probably like just about everyone on TBN, I have interest in lots of different equipment. I have 25 pieces of construction and farming equipment. Made my living with equipment for last 30 years. I farm 1000 tons of hay a year, do significant land clearing/brush mowing, some excavation, drive CDL trucks, etc.
Im always interested in buying, selling, upgrading, changing equipment
I have logged millions of CDL truck driving and I like to discuss equipment related topics.
Just because someone posts a thread about something doesnt mean they want to buy it.

I was just trying to get opinions on if it was a true tri, not that I wanted to buy it.
I am a fan of IH tractors and trucks and I thought they were a ground breaking company with a lot of visionary ideas in equipment, too. :thumbsup:

I’d hate to pay for a trailer that needs hooked to a 3 axle truck. 24 tires plus the steers would be affordable as well.

I figure if anyone was going to produce a true tri, it might be IH

I was raised with a 1943 K7, w/Blue Diamond 269 and Clark 5spd, then my dad bought a newer one, 1944...Lol.
Since you are an IH fan, you will like this truck, 1947 KB12. He has 20 acres of this type stuff. Turn your speakers up!
