Good video about a '75 Hayes logging truck. What a beautiful rig! I used to work on these many years ago installing the logging rigs on the trucks. The Hayes was always a favorite. They were built in Vancouver BC.. I worked for a branch of the company here in Alberta. https://youtu.be/1LX8VyNaTeU" rel="nofollow - https://youtu.be/1LX8VyNaTeU

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing. So I’ll take a stab about truck’s approximate GVWR ~ 144,000 lbs ? 2-12k steer = 24k, 2-20k drives = 40k, 4-20k trailer = 80k. |

| Most likely closer to 160K, 44-46,000 drives, 14-18,000 steers. |

Twin Steer they both Steer. Generally the Rear axle has a Parasitic Hydraulically Connected gear, set at a ratio to not over steer the lead axle.
Kenworth has added this to their line up, so a Mixer truck can go 12 yards capacity without a trailing axle. https://kenworth.com/about-us/news/t880s-twin-steer/" rel="nofollow - Kenworth Introduces T880S Twin Steer | Kenworth

 Tandem steer. Tri drive. We have sold a bunch of these at the IH dealership where I work.

| In Ontario this setup is good for 92,000 lbs gvw. They drive like a caddy. I pick them up at London Equipment and deliver to various locations around the province. Handle well and go around the roundabouts easy. 😀😀 This is International truck. |

| When I worked at CEI a couple trucks were built on Freightliner chassis. Twin steer under a cabover day cab. 30ft box. Twin screw and a tag. Neat looking truck. |
