Looking at some of the other replies, would say been there done that on too many counts. Have transported equipment wide and slow a few too many times. I have hauled grain to town, about 2 miles, when I still lived in Nebraska behind a 1066. Boy, what a combo I had. A flare box wagon and barge wagon both with hoists, then a 225 bu gravity wagon behind them. Total haul to town around 450 bushels. Suffice to say couldn't road real fast loaded or empty, although did pull much better loaded as the gravity wagon kept enough weight thru the tongues of the others to keep them straight. I was sure glad that I only had a couple small hills to go down on the way to town, but had one pretty good size one to come down empty. Never touched the TA. First of all, it (pardon the bad english) ain't a brake. Second, hauling back on it would be a dandy way to get the whole parade swinging side to side in a hurry. I now do mostly hay work with my Ford 5000 diesel here in IL, and usually load the tractor on my gooseneck trailer to save wear and tear on tractor, and get out of the way quicker. Using NH451 9ft sickle and 5 wheel 3 pt rake, so either combo fits on trailer with tractor nicely. Only "slow" move is the baler, often still pull it behind tractor to transport, as I don't want to run implement tires at over 30mph. Just some of my thoughts and more than 2 cents worth.
