B&D: I don't think I'd too awfully concerned about Gary's setup as it applies to danger. I used to pull highway trailers loaded with grain behind my 1066, no loader mind you but with duals. I didn't go racing, but I had no trouble stopping 25 ton on level ground. Why just yesterday I was up your way, on the outskirts of Harriston, I caught up with a CaseIH 150+ hp 4x4 and duals, and behind him a fully functional Super B train. He had full tail lights, marker lights, signal lights and 4 way, plus he had fully operational air brakes. He was loaded full height, length and width with large square bales. He came to a hill, didn't slow him down a bit until he came too a stop sign. Once he had the right away, it was left turn from starting on the upgrade. He cleared the intersection as fast as any highway tractor would. If I met Gary on a down grade and he had enough 4 wheel wagons for 40 round bales, I'm certain I wouldn't be alarmed. These tractors have quite bit of ability to handle big loads. A 1066 or 86 with duals, 20' disk behind, at full throttle in high gear, on dry black top, has the ability to stop in 4'. I know it did cause some smart a$$ cop some grief, that decided to follow me on a dark night with high beam lights on. We had some harsh words, but he did rear end me. Didn't hurt the disk, but his cruiser didn't look quite the same. There was no point in me driving further as I couldn't see anything with those high beams behind me.
