    I kept thinking that as well. It would have to have a lift when in reverse I would think.

    You can see the holes in the wheel on only the fourth axle though.

    Xl makes a few that are bump steer or hydraulic steer, but I see that’s a flip so I don’t know. May just be the angle of the picture

    I know in Michigan some guys run a 4’ spreader. It will have a pivot bearing like a full size spreader bar. Maybe that’s what it is.

    Yes Sir, it is steerable to a degree. Bump steer and has to be locked in to back up. If one forgets to lock it in. It reminds you in about two foot.

    Is bump steer like our self steering tags, or does the whole axle pivot like @bumper Jack mentioned?

    It's like a self steering pusher axle. When you guys put in reverse it lifts. This does not
