When I used to pull a 5 shank ripper with the 1086 I could go right through the 1000 bushel grain cart tracks but if I came to tracks made by a loaded truck it would darned near stop the tractor. Those flotation tires on the cart make a difference. The cart would have at least 56,000 pounds of grain plus the weight of the cart, 10,000 ? and I estimate 2/3 of the weight is on one axle so that wouldn't the axle weight at roughly 43000 pounds. The tires are probably 42 or 48 inches wide and around five feet tall compared to four 11 inch truck tires at maybe three feet tall carrying 20000 pounds. Those truck tires cut into the ground much deeper than the cart tires carrying twice as much weight as the truck tires. The grain carts and manure tanks squish out the sides of the gravel roads where trucks with duals and wagons with super singles make grooves. I would think the grooves would be easier to fix than the squished out road sides.
