Hey Swishy,
Air cylinders open and close the expando suspension together or apart from 8.5' to 10' of travel. A purple weight chart in California from 4 tire group 8' wide is about 48,000 lbs on a tandem set of axles, where a 8 tire 10' will get you 60,000 lbs on a tandem group of axles.

Thanx Glen
Is the RSend pinned or does it rely on the full air cylinders to keep the expando RSend suspension in/out
thanx 4 th@

Swishy,
Air only. No pinning.
Thanx Glen
Between terroizing the rds n the fone we have n a go @ making a Folding Gooseneck Expando
to get best benefit from the Govt weight wise
they say
rows of 8 can run MT @ 8'10" wide
@ 8'10" wide with a bogie spread @ 6' we get 24t
@11'5" " " " " " we get 31t
not to exceed 10' overall width in peek hour traffic (6am-9am .......... 4pm-6pm = 28t
So we need to be able to fix RSend width to @ least 3 positions
Thanx for the info Glen

Swish Man I have been watching this build with great interest on the other truck forum
Are you gunna have it a swing wing type set up like a Drake up the front or some other idea ????
Is your gunna make it hydraulic IH had series of farm rams that had built in adjustable stops so us silly farmers could always drop the implement back in the same depth again and they worked very well were simple to adjust
A lot of the farm implements have real simple adjustable stops that lock things in place at easily set and adjustable spots

Swishy, can you remind me what the SAR rules are that had the cab sitting up like that? Are they still in play or superseded?
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
