....tonight while pulling a load of hay we bought at auction, 16 large squares for about 6.5 tons of hay. All was going good until about a mile from home, when the studs on the right rear hub snapped, and the tire went shooting across the road in someone's driveway. The rim doesn't look damaged and niether does the hub, just snapped the 6 studs. Go figure. Called up the neighbors with a payloader and they helped pick it up and push me off the road in a parking lot, but that sure makes for an interesting night....

I'm not sure as my dad writes out the check, but I think we paid $125/ton for some second crop a month back, and around $90 for 1st crop.

Just missed: Back in the 60's my brother and I were riding atop a large utility trailer of tamarack bolts(for mine shoring) when we decided to go forward into the pickup body of the 1963 Jeep Gladiator 4WD that had the pulling job.
At that moment the whole rig hit some heavy washboard on an S turn of that gravel road.
The binder cable snapped and that 2 cord load
cleaned off in less than 2 seconds.
If we had stayed on the load you would'nt be
reading this right now. Loose load or very loose tire I wouldn't want either one.

You think loosing a wagon tire is a problem. A year ago last August I was headed for Cincinnati down the interestate and I had the left rear wheel come of off a tri axle trailer with two tractors on. It passed me going down hill. It rolled across the median and was rolling toward traffic going the other way. Lucky no one came by at that time and the tire finally got of off the pavement and rolled up against the guard rail on the opposite side of the road and came to a stop standing up. That is enough to really make your heart pound !!

My biggest problem was just getting it off the road to avoid the hazard of being hit. Once in the parking lot I took off the hub and pressed the studs out at work (I work at a machine shop) and then got some new ones from the closest dealer and pressed the new ones back in. Could use some new bearings, but I'm not going to worry about it that much, just leave it in a note to the owner. I'm sure your situation was a little more exciting than mine, as I was going MAYBE 20-25 mph. I'm not sure, the speedo's been out of my truck for about 1 1/2 years now. About 10 years ago when my brothers were borrowing my dad's truck(which is now mine) to go work out at school, someone loosened the lug nuts on the rear driver side. Not even a mile from the high school the tire came off and caused quite a bit of damage to the outside panel and it dropped down onto the brake drum. That was fixed right away, and now it's the only part that isn't having the paint flake off. I'm sure if a cop would've come by I probably could have gotten a ticket, as my truck is only an '88 F150 2x4. although whenever they see me they don't bother. I put a class III receiver hitch on it 3 years ago after the bumper brackets broke pulling home a load of chopped straw from a barn that was gonna be torn down. Paid the extra $20 for the cushion hitch and it really makes a huge difference. That truck has pulled more weight than most people pull with their great big 4x4 1 ton pickups. The most I remember that truck pulling was about 8.2 ton. Most I've personally pulled is about 7.9 tons of hay(including the wagon) from the same auction about a month ago. hard to get going without 4x4 lo, but with the 6-300 is a bullet proof engine and it has a 5sp. stick. Great lugger.

you got to love farming. About 10 years ago our neighbors were hustling in the crop and borrowed our other neighbors 2-105. They had asked him if they could set it in to 30" rows which he allowed. Well, someone didnt tighted the bolts down and going full boar down the road, off came the wheel!! The marks are still on the road today, and the tractor was okay, until the burnt to the ground last winter. I tell you, that 2-105 could tell some stories:)

I bet the road wasn't the only thing with skid marks!! Thank god we have a few good neighbors left willing to give a helping hand. Tomorrow he's gonna put the bales onto 2 of our own wagons for us. I took the hub off and I'm gonna get some new studs & nuts tomorrow. Rim is dinged a little, but I think it'll be alright atleast to get the wagon back to the auction barn. This wagon has LOTS of miles on it. I've pulled it once before and it's been at the auction everyweek for God knows how long. My dad has to call the auction barn to see if it's worth sending a bill or something to the owner of the wagon. If nothing else a note telling him to check it out before putting another 6+ tons on it. Donovan from Wisconsin

Surprisingly, my brakes grab really good and combined with my manual trans, stopping isn't any worse than it would be with a bigger truck or a tractor. This past November was the 1st time I ever really pulled just wagons with a 55 series Ollie and I hardly ever used the brakes and I couldn't even feel the load behind me on our 1855. Normally that's what we run the chopper with but we were buying from the neighbor and he did the chopping himself. Donovan from Wisconsin
