I have to say I'm with G-Man on this one! I know a guy that pulls an 1000 bushel grain cart with a 4955 MFWD w/duals and he has all he wants. He won't let just any of his men run it and when at all possible, he pulls it with his 8970. Farmers tend to do some pretty crazy things.

I used to pull a 10 ton New Idea tandem manure spreader with a JD 620 once in a while. Stupid, but I survived. Three quarters of a load on relatively flat ground. I would say that the spreader out-weighed the 620 by a factor of at least three. I wouldn't attempt such a thing anymore. As G-Man stated, too much liability and juries ready to award just about any ridiculous amount.
