i USED TO PULL A 650 bushel Brent box with my CX 100 CaseIH. It is about same horsepower but not as heavy as 856. I did have 1000 lbs. weight on the back. Hauled hundreds of thousands of bushels 10 miles to market. 4 wheel brakes on trailer which I kept in perfect working order. Took me a long time to get her up to 22 mph. road speed and then any little incline would pull it down.

I have a 350 bushel wagon with rear wheel brakes that I used to pull with my 706. Anything over 350 should have brakes unless you have a really big tractor.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
