I started out with a 138 inch wheel base tractor with a Hendrickson walking beam.
I am pretty sure it put the previous owner in the hospital from the ride.
It was a money maker though as I pulled a 38 ft floor trailer with it and was very light. I had on a tad more than 1,000 bushel at 80,000. Most at that time were hoping to haul 900.
That worked well for several years until the DOT got tape measures.
163” wheelbase with 40’ or 41’ hopper bottom. Too short?
