You haul stuff your way and we here in the midwest will haul stuff our way..We must have lots better roads and much less traffic than you do..

Going 10 mph under the speed limit causes no problems here..Its flat level farming country and people can pass most anytime they want to..I get 2-3 mpg better staying 10 under..Theres farm machinery on the roads going 20 mph all the time..

Only twice in the past 4-5 years have I had to pull over and let people by..I was over 100 miles from home in a very hilly area..I pulled over in small towns and let traffic by..I had tall loads and the wind was blowing 40 mph and I couldnt make any headways...This was with a crew cab dually and a 14K gooseneck..

My brothers new F-150 has a combined 16,000 towing capacity..It weighs around 6000 so that leaves him 10000 lbs for a trailer and the load..He wouldnt have any problems pulling a 4000 lb tractor a few times a year on a 7K car trailer..Its done all the time around here with no problems..For a few times a year you dont buy a 3/4 ton or dually with a 10K or 14K trailer..


I just got rid of a 7K car trailer that I used for over 20 years..All that was ever done to it was repace the floor once,pack the bearings,replace tires,and keep the lights and brakes working..It was never once welded on.

I have a neighbor that has bought and sold small tractors for many years..He has a nice 7K tilt bed 16 ft bumper hitch that he pulls with a 1500 Chevy..It doesnt take a semi to haul an 8N Ford..

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming. ...
