| The 2+2 was a ahead of it's time idea poorly executed. There were very few MFD tractors in our area before the 2+2, now we all have to have a MFD. We ran rear duals and saddle tanks on our 3388. The cab, common to other IH tractors of the era, was and still is not friendly to a tall guy. My kneecap still aches today from bending/breaking the perfectly placed key and my shoulders still ache just thinking about long days cultivating with it. The engine was about the only thing on ours we didn't have major trouble with. Our 3388 had about 170hp and did handle 12 row sized equipment very well, planting, cultivating and spraying. I could give you a LONG list of $$$ fixing, but will just say we traded ours off about 14 years ago for a JD8300 (the first green tractor on our farm in 3 generations if that tells you what I thought of the red ones after the 2+2 debacle) and I thought I had died and gone to heaven. | |
