2500gal is a bit big and it's too dear.

thats the type of tyres .....black and round and not to grippy........looks like leyland axle ............ would not be a lot of use behind the dear john

Don't know what make of axle it is but they use a 2 speed axle with electric shift that's modified to give drive and neutral.

Needs to be big enough to hold a load from the ferry tankers tho?

Yes, but the OP has a Fiat 100-90

Known as a 2 speed Eaton, found in old Bedford's and Dodge/Commer,back on the day.

I used to pull a 3000 gallon tanker with my 100 90 no worries.

It wasn't a ground drive tanker though was it?

No but would that not make it easier to pull ?

No, it takes more power to drive the axle and you're usually on steep ground which takes even more power. A 1600 was plenty for the 110-90. You also need a safety margin for when you shear the pto shaft and start going backwards!

I see.

the axle is off a leyland road train .....bleddy big heavy thing..........eaton 2 speed diff grafted into it........the teeth or splines are machined off the ratio thats not needed to give nuteral......2500 gallon sounds like it would test the ground speed drive line, the lime spreader i had held 7.5 tons and most of that is on the spreader axle and i thought that was a lot of grip behind you...and if you got bogged it the clutch in the back of the 6480 did not like starting off

Could you not fit a 6 speed truck gearbox or similar between the axle and the pto drive. It would give a neutral and it would be simple to speed match the ground speed to the driven axle?

We have one at work. At least 25 year old. 1500 gallon. PTO driven wheel drive but been taken off as i think the clutch mechanism seized. We still have all the parts though i think. Seem to remember it used to have a logo on the side with the letters TP?? Would it be Tramspread?? Would have been a real quality machine when new. Would be for sale as the tank has imploaded!

Probably TLP. I remember being at a demo years ago. They had some gearing or system where you could select a ratio to match a gear in the tractor.it was just driven of the 540 pto speed. No need for ground drive pto

That will be the one. Remember years ago them pulling it with a 2wd 7610!
