Hey guys,
How many gallons would a 4-axle houle manure tanker hold? Also how much HP would that require? Could I get away with a MFWD tractor on it?
Thanks,
Ricky.B

Depends some different size tanks can come with four axles. As far as HP, that would also got for how many gallons you're talking. A MFWD tractor could vary. A friend of mine does custom spreading and his own spreading with a 6300 tanker. He has a JD 8430 MFWD, CaseIH 340 and 290. They handle them but get worn down quick. Do you plan on going on many hills?

This is a 7300 gallon tanker on an 8310R. A large hill can pull the tractor down fast but otherwise, it works just fine. The tanker has brakes.  |

7,900 gallons would probably be the most common triple axle size but there are bigger I'm pretty sure. I know that Jamesway has 3 triple axle models: 7,900, 8,500 & 9,600. Like the other two posted you can do it with a MFWD. Once you get to a larger size like a 9,600 that's where I might get a little leery. When you get that many gallons moving back and forth in the tank it can really push a front wheel assist tractor around.

Ok thanks guys. Doing this for my display. Would a challenger 965 work good on a 9500 gallon spreader?

We pulled a Jamesway 7400 gallon, triaxle tank with a JD 4450, and we went up hills, it was really hard on it, then we pulled it with a 8650 JD and it felt like it wasnt even there, a custom guy around us pulls a 4 axle houle with a 9400 JD and thats perfect for it, just depends what land your on
