And what do you think of building a 6-axle Scania tractor?

That's quite a beast. What size engine does it have? Do any of the wheels
raise up to reduce tire contact during non-loaded travel? How many of 'em
are steerable?

It has a 580 hp 16-litre V8 engine (built by Scania). Axle three can be
raised up. I'm not sure if it concerned the 6th axle as well.

I'm curious as to how the two driven rear axles would be constructed with
suspension. That's something I've always wanted to build.

The tractor is 12x4 driven (driven axles 4 and 5). The three front axles are
steered, as well as the back axle.
