I don't know how much time or thinking that IH put into a 2 plus 2 as the rear end was pretty much an 86 row crop chassis and cab. It was not a from the ground up new design. They were best as a small dairy farm tractor and I remember a string of years back in the 1970's where the autumns were wet so interest was high in the 2 plus 2 for a corn chopping tractor. Working them like a Steiger or Versatile did them in quick. An area dealer brought out a 3388 and we borrowed a 5 bottom plow to pull behind it. That 3388 did not want anymore than that 5 bottom plow back there even though in theory it should have pulled 6 X 16's.
