These Jamesway tankers would require a complete redesign to have powered axles, especially when the manure discharge pump is PTO powered. My Jamesway 5500 tri-axle weighs about 65k pounds loaded according to the owner's manual. It says an 8500 4-axle weighs about 98,250 pounds loaded on 850/50-30.5 tires, and less on smaller tires. The actual weight would vary a little according to the water content in the manure and the brake configuration (standard 1-axle or optional 2- or 3-axle braking like my 5500.)

With that chain around his neck just give him some gold teeth and your workers would be ready to spread some manure in the hood.
