JB2: We hauled a lot of hay wagons from baler to barn, had some decent hills as well. 20' x 8' x 8' bale thrower wagons. Usually we pulled those with a Cockshutt 540, however if 130 was going that way we never hesitated to hook a 175 bales behind it. 130 never disappointed us either.

I remember once mowing raking and baling with thrower some hay for a neighbor. He had a nasty hill from field up to highway, quite often having to stop for traffic. I wasn't planing to attempt that hill with 130 and loads. My help were raking with 130 and baling with 560. I landed there with Farmall 300 just as first load was ready, so did the neighbor with his 8N. He got quite huffy, acusing me of just bringing another tractor so I could up my hourly rate. I advised him I really didn't need my wagon smashed to bits from coming down that hill backwards, plus I really don't have time to go to your wake and funeral this week.

I told him if he had really wanted his tractor doing some of the time he could have raked the hay. Well he never thought of that. The way he drove the 8N, I don't think Mike would have wanted to bale his windrows.

I just plain takes weight to pull on hard roads.
