I'm getting ready to place an order for a new lowbed tractor. Here are what I have come up with for the specs that I want, please give feedback to see if there's anything you would change. This tractor is being designed primarily to move large yarders in the woods and then all of our swing machines on a 3 axle general 70 ton low bed trailer and a 2 axle booster.
C500 Kenworth, double frame 216wb, 22k steer, 25k dual tire drop, 52-190 double lockers rears in 4.56 on 52k Neway suspension. 445 steers, 11r24.5 drives.
X15 605/2050, 22189 trans with 2 speed auxiliary box.
Wet tank built into the headache rack, full length 5th wheel slide with scale pads, dual stainless breathers, dual cab height pipes (I will delete/tune/connect second pipe) 150 gallons of fuel, batteries under passenger seat.
