I think common sense rules here.
I used to pull two 300 bushel gravity wagons together with my D19 Allis. With sideboards on the wagons, I could scale 650 bushels. The only reason I used the D19 instead of an 856 I owned at the time was the 856 wouldn't fit across the scale at the elevator with duals on, and I didn't want to have to take them off.
However, I only had a level mile and a quarter to the elevator and I only ran 6th gear at about 8mph loaded. I hit 8th gear running empty.
Was I smart? Not only "no", but "Hell No". But this was 25 - 30 years ago, and BS. (Before Semis). A lot of other people weren't moving much faster.
As I said above, common sense should prevail, rather than formulae. Do what you feel comfortable with in your own circumstances.
