New to me 6588

Got a whole lot of leaning to do, just brought home a 5,000 hr 6588. I sure hope it's a diamond in the rough. Now to buy a grain drill for it to pull! -Andy

Unless they beefed up the front end on the 6588 compared to the 3588 you might want to consider taking the front duals off before you grenade the front. They were not designed to operate with duals up front. That was one of the Super 70s claims to fame.

Looks like a nice one though. I have wanted one with the right side console. I think it wouldnt be too hard to put a magnum seat with the magnum buddy seat in one of those.

I've read that the front duals should come off, axle isn't rated for it and the tires can actually hit. I haven't checked to see if they actually will hit. I've got an owner's manual coming for it, I've got lots of reading to do! I'll probably take them off before I actually start using it. Looks pretty cool with them on, though! -Andy

Lots of people will tell you they have run front duals for years with no issues. Depends on what you're doing, I think.

Bald tires that are just there for flotation, okay.

Trying to pull it like a 300HP Steiger, no.
