I meant the wheels and tires more than strut beefiness and length. I was thinking of the load. Wouldn't a dirt or gravel runway have more give than a concrete runway? The A-26 looks to have flotation tires compared to the 737. I'd expect to see curb rash on the 737's wheels after a hard landing. A C-130 will land in places I'd hesitate to take a W461 and it doesn't have higher profile tires than the A-26 with respect to the landing load, granted only a small bit of the C-130 gear is exposed.
