Hi Hugh,

I agree with ya; two things in this area changed our lives forever. Clamp on duals for flotation purposes and the packer to follow the plow.

The duals to get the tractor up on top of the ground and the packer to eliminate those darned tractor tracks. In the old days, we used to see those tracks in the corn height clear up until the fourth of July due to the soil compaction.

To this day, when I hear or read of someone following a plow with a disc, I wanna scream, "Get a packer, 'cause you're still farming back in the 40s!". I just cannot imagine crawling into a plowed field with a disc. :>)

You've got me wondering now tho. I wonder if the wedge locks had anything to do with tire size? When we move from 16.9 x 38 to 18.4 x 38, that is a huge difference as far as traction goes and maybe more stress is put on the clamp?

Dunno,

Allan
