Wyoming | We've had 3588 for about 15 years. First 4wd we ever had before a magnum. In their day, in this area, they were a pretty good tractor. Alot of guys pulled in-furrow spinner plows with them. As ugly as they were, the long nose on the plow was great. They handled three point equipment better than mfd tractors in those days, and you could turn tighter without laying on the brakes.
I really wished that CaseIH would have carried the design, with some improvements of course. They could have used the same powershift as the magnums, and went to the cummins powerplant. There was a large fuel tank in front of the cab. The tank could have been removed, move the engine back about 3 to 4 feet, shorten the hood, both in length and height. I think they would have really given the front foots a run for their money. | |
