Yes it is a odd trailior it measures 9'x53'. So it at all times needs a overwidth permit with those marker flags on each corner.
The trailior wheels slide back and forth so you can tilt the deck. In the picture shown the wheels are in the most forward postion but they move about 15-20 feet back to drive from that position.
The last driver forgot to move the wheels back so when she made a left hand turn she ripped apart 2 vans cause of the 25 foot tail swing lol.

Yep 650.
It has a Cat motor though with a auto tranny. I do not like that Cat though absoulutly gutless till 1800 rpm I would gladly trade it for a 7.3.
The IH is a 9200I

I find the 3208 doesn`t have the nice, quiet low end power the 7.8 Ford turbo has in my other L8000.

oh and the tilt deck it will go completly to the ground and lay flat so it is really nice to load. And the deck holds 12,000lbs so except for big forklifts and Telehandlers it will haul anything I do then alot nicer manuveribilty then the IH of course.
I do like the Cat motor in the IH semi though 475hp

Most of the cats i have driven dont have any bottom end power. Cummins is decent for the bottom and mid, but lacks a bit compared to a cat in the high end, from what I have driven anyways.

Sweet trucks though for sure! Youll have to keep us posted with how you like that international.

Maybe Ryan is secretly whipped?! Drives a 95 f150 with a 302 now, or maybe a brand new toyota truck?
