Antique tractors have steel wheels! But they look meaner than they are. If they spin they drop fast and it's over, if they do bite good on a heavy pull, you don't get any slippage and soon pull the engine down. I was moving some big dead tractors around the 'yard this year with an F20 on steel with extensions, and the biggest one stopped it as soon as I hit a little uphill grade, it was right on the edge of spinning and not having enough power to spin. I switched to another F20 on rubber, and it walked away with the same load. A friend sent me some pics of his D JD at the pulling track. It runs real strong, so he wanted to see what it would pull, and ended up with triple steel clamped together on the rear before it would hook up and pull the engine down.
