Most locations only 2 hitches are allowed on the public roads - 2 wagons max. Bigger or newer wagons are required to have hyd brakes, so your JD can handle anything it can get moving. See folks in my hilly area come in with 2 600bu wagons behind a similar sized front wheel assist tractor all the time. I assume you do not have brakes on the wagons. Your JD would be able to handle any pair 'here' just fine, assuming your brakes are working. The little tractor can handle one of the smaller wagons. Now, if you have a _good_ wagon running gear, I would hook up one smaller wagon to the little tractor, and the other smaller wagon, followed by the bigger wagon, to the JD. There is _some_ danger of jackknifing the small wagon in a sandwich between your tractor & the big wagon, but your sizes are fairly close so this _should_ work for you. But do consider the jacknife issue & proceed with caution. The advantage of putting the slightly smaller wagon first is you can still see the rear wagon as well, watch for whipping or flat tires etc. Always fill the front wogon first, you don't want a light empty front wagon with a full heavy one behind... Again, for wagons 50% difference in size or so, then you _must_ put the big one next to the tractor, the little one at the end. But it is hard to know what that hind little wagon is doing. --->Paul
