A neighbor was towing a Farmall C that way, with two brand new never used Killbrose 375 gravity wagons towed behind the tractor. Going down a hill the tractor came off the dolly, don't ask me how cause they didn't tell me the whole story. Tractor ended up upside down in the ditch but the wagons didn't tip. The toungue on the front wagon was cork screwed pretty bad. We got the tractor on it's wheels and he fired it up and drove it home wide open, holding the steering wheel in his lap. The next year he was towing this same tractor down the blacktop pretty fast when he drifted off on the shoulder a bit, the right rear wheel hit a bump so hard the axle broke and the whole works ended upside down in the ditch again. They quit towing tractors after that. I lost an SC Case while towing it with a drawbar but it just rolled down into the ditch and I drove it back out. That's the most helpless feeling when you look in the mirror and watch the tractor drift off into the ditch. I don't tow tractors anymore either! Jim
