That's a weird one Steve :think: were the trailer axles driven somehow similar to the AWD outfit?

i don't see a driveshaft - so hydraulic motors?
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

No I could not see a drive shaft either but the trailer hubs look different I wondered if it was an electric drive?

According to the description it’s Electro hydraulic drive to the trailer axles - Doesn’t say anything more than that unfortunately

Looks to be fair bit of plumbing on the outside of the chassis rail, a large oil tank behind the cab, and a sort of jib affair carrying services in front of the trailer. Seems a complicated way of not using a shaft and some UJs.
Although... I wonder if it was designed to be an electrical controlled system that could use the unit's hydraulic tipping system to drive the axles when needed so any regular pump/oil tank equipped tractor could use it?
