Wagon Features 4-Wheel Steering

Wagon Features 4-Wheel Steering First on the market with four-wheel steering for farm trailers is the True-Trak Co Grafton Wis     This is the new-style wagon we told you about in the Charter Issue of FARM SHOW However there was a mistake in the price It’s not nearly as expensive as the first report mistakenly told you     The 10-ton wagon gear factory equipped with four-wheel steering retails for $1 250 “That’s about $200 higher than you’d pay for a comparable trailer with conventional two-wheel steering ” says William Wolf inventor and manufacturer Factory equipped True-Trak wagons with 6 and 8 ton capacity are also available     “The big problem with conventional running gears has always been that the rear end overturns ” explains Wolf To solve the problem he used two front ends and a “rack and pinion” mechanism to provide four-wheel steering The “rack” or “T” turning mechanism activates all wheels both front and back When the front wheels are turned the reach also turns causing the back wheels to turn the exact same amount so they follow the tracks made by the front wheels     If you’re handy with a welder and can round up two front ends you could buy the True-Trak “rack and pinion” mechanism and build your own four-wheel steer trailer     For more details contact: FARM SHOW Followup Suemnicht Enterprises National True-Trak Distributor Grafton Wis ph 414 377-7389 or 377-2559
