Tuthill Drive Systems (TDS) is home to the legendary Mud Hog®, the world's toughest breed of steerable hydraulic drive axles for agricultural equipment.
TDS' reputation for seamless systems integration makes it the global leader in design, engineering and delivery of ready-to-roll, bolt-on products with millions of hours of reliability. TDS also has won over numerous original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in a variety of other market sectors, including construction, commercial turf care, material handling and other industrial related drive-assist applications.
Burr Ridge, Ill. - based Tuthill Corporation purchased Mud Hog's name and company in 1999, combining the manufacturing of Mud Hog® hydraulic axles with its current line of integrated suspension systems. Six years later, as Mud Hog® popularity expanded, Tuthill made the brand a separate line of business, calling it Tuthill Drive Systems.
In early 2008, TDS combined the knowledge and experience base of Mud Hog off-highway and Reyco Granning on-highway suspension systems to introduce North America's first front wheel drive assist axle for trucks named EZ Trac.
