All of my grain used to go to town with wagons pulled by a tractor, but after a near jacknifing on a downhill icy patch on a gravel road behind a farm grove, I put the wagons away and have hired trucks ever since. Around here big wagons are showing up more all the time in the fall but their axle weights are WAY too heavy and are doing damage to the roads and bridges. I can't believe their wimpy little surge brakes can do much good on one axle for a 50,000 pound-plus-load. Figure in the wear and tear on the tractor and tires plus the purchase price of the wagons and the wage for a good seasonal driver, if you can find a good one, and hiring a truck wins hands down. Wagons are better than trucks for hauling to the bins from the field, but when it comes to going down the road, hire a truck. You hand him a check when he's done and your worries are over.Jim
