Well on this subject i have lots of experience . Number 1 never assume that your 706 weighs in at 9000 lbs unless you have run it across the scales . A 706 gasser narrow ft. fast hitch with clam shell fenders 15.5x38 tires no fluid will be just under 8500 lbs . The 706 gasser i farmed with with a narrow ft and fast hitch flat tops 18.4 34's loaded with three sets of donuts added went over 12500 . Now as for a trailer ya had best have a good one with a 20000LB gvw and GOOD brakes and a HORSE up- ft to pull it with dual rear wheels . back when i was running to sales buying and reselling i ran and 88 Ford F350 with a 460 five speed with 4.10 gears . Truck and trailer EMPTY was 15000lbs . Yep i hauled two tractors SOMETIMES . Yep it was a load , BUT i have a lot of miles under my belt with semi's and hauling loads in excess of 200000 lbs . I know how to tie a load down , i know how to drive . And with electric brakes NEVER trust them as all it takes to go from decent brakes to no brakes is a broken wire or a short . Had i stayed at doing the buying and selling after running the wheels off a one ton i would have stepped up the Horse to something larger like a ton and a half , not somuch as for power but better brakes not somuch fuel mileage but a heavier truck . Leaning how and where to place the load is a huge factor as to how it will handle and pull . Load it wrong and it will drag like and ingot , load it wrong and handling will suffer . I hauled several loads that SHOULD have gone on semi's . But i hauled them . One was from a auction in western ill. to the east side of Ohio , one fully dressed 1066 with cab and duals and a fully dressed 806 D with cab and duals . Only had a lack of power once i got into the hills east of I 71 as i had to get down into second and allow more stopping room . When you set the truck up to pull a gooseneck ya want the ball to be ahead of the center of the rear axle i had mine set 6 inches ahead . I put just about 200000 miles on pulling my trailer .

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
