We owned a 3588 for about 5 years and trading it off was one of the best things we ever did. The 2+2 tractors were one of the most poorly designed tractors ever built. The cab on an articulated tractor should be on the front half. They handle much better. There was a driveshaft from the engine to the clutch which required daily greasing and inspection. If a universal joint failed it did a lot of damage before you could get it shut off. The front differential was never designed for dual wheels on the front axle and some owner experienced failures when they dualled the front. The hinge points were a little weak and needed to be replaced when they showed any sign of wear. The 2+2's were just a 2 wheel drive tractor that was modified in an attempt to make a 4wd row crop tractor. We bought one because Dad thought it would be good to have a 4wd with a PTO to use on a grain cart if it was muddy. We used it once on the grain cart and hated it. We traded it for a CIH 7140MFWD. The 2+2's had good traction but were very high maintenence.
