Scot: Yes I did farm some quite flat land, and after I bought 1066 and 890 harvester, the moving of silage to keep it running became a real bottleneck. One thing I found is those aluminum trailers didn't weigh a whole lot more than a big self unloading wagon, and with the amount of rubber under them pulled just as easy. I see guys around here today using these tow dollies on grain trailers, and some of them have air compressors on their tractors so as to operate the trailer brakes. Saw one at elevator 300 hp articulated Deere pulling a set of super B trains 40 tons net.

As for the radials to each his own. Don't get me wrong I did like the radials, just didn't want to part with that much money. I have been running them on my cars and trucks since they first appeared. I did use a single axle highway tractor on the farm, as I found farm tractors just couldn't keep up on hauling silage, plus I had a traffic situation that didn't blend well with tractors. I decided if folks wanted to drive like maniacks on rural roads, they may as well bounce off a highway tractor trailer as a farm tractor.
