Rusty do you realize how many 150 lb DO NUTs you would have to bolt on to equal one loaded tire. And a good case in point here this fall we have been a little on the damp side and field conditions were not that favourable , I was helping a friend with his corn picking and his Farmall 400 DID NOT have loaded tires but did have two 150's on each side and IT did not have enough weight to pull loaded gravity wagons up the little humps and bumps . He says we will use your S/MTA , ok my S/MTA have brand new 16.9x38 All TRAC's but no weight and only weighs in at around 56-5700 where his 400 weighs in at around 64-6500 the 400 has 14.9x38 at around 50% it had more pull then the new tires and bigger tire on a lighter tractor. Normally eugene and i use the 706 to pull the picker WHEN field conditions are good as it weights in at around 9000 Lbs, But field conditions are not good and we have the 1066 on the picker and it weights in at around 17000 lbs with loaded tires . The 706 does not have loaded tires and it got hung with a full load of corn . My 806 has loaded tires and weighs in just shy of 14000 and it is getting the job done but could stand more weight .

No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
