George: I am not going to comment on those Ford or other industrials. The front end was built for loader work. I have seen many a farm tractor 20 years old with a career of loader work behind it and reinforcing on front end that makes one wonder about the operator experience when it broke.

I have also looked at your picture of the H with duals. I had 18.4 x 38 duals on my 1066 and yes I have seen it slide sideways on hills long before there was any danger of upset. My 12 year old daughter had mastered the Farmall SA and Case 1737 Uniloaders quite well. She was pestering me to let her try something larger. I thought well it may as well be the 1066 with duals, ROPS Cab and seat belt. She was disking with 20' tandem disk. I was removing some old apple trees making field a bit larger, as well as keeping my watchful eye on her. At the headland she was doing some hydraulic adjustments, forgot about the steering wheel. She went at an angle into an 6' deep V shaped drainage ditch. Thanks to those duals the biggest wound was her pride. I had to pull her out with forestry skidder with winch. In 10 minutes I had her disking again. She disked a 100 acres that day. My guess, at about 75 lbs she didn't look very big between the duals of that 1066 in cab. I was satisfied she was safe.

My dad before me taught every kid in the neighbor hood to safely drive a tractor. They were not allowed to just cowboy around but had to be doing some useful farm function. One kid in particular I remember, dad had him raking hay with Farmall 130 at 8 years of age. My estimate average daily 2,000 bales. That kid now 45 went on to become a long haul trucker, has seen every Province in Canada, every State in the US plus parts of Mexico. He has yet to put more than a scratch on a vehicle. My friend the biggest problem is and always been operator attitude and smarts.
