I am like that as I do not want a TRAILER QUEEN that ya have to push off the trailer and winch back on after a show . If it can not go do what it was meant to do then why have it . When i bought my S/MTA it was bought to be my second tractor and was to be used to pull my planter and for them times that i would find that soft spot in the field to drag my 706 out . I got tired of having to use my pick up for that job or go find some one to drop what they were doing to come bale me out because when i did find them SOFT SPOTS i was not just momentarily delayed i was STUCK . One time i planted the 706 and plows so bad that you did not have to step down to the ground off the platform the bottom just dropped out from under the tractor and she was in the plow was in to the third moldboard . Tryed with the pick up even put the tire chains on first never even shook her . Could not get unhooked from the plow . Had a buddy come down with his 1086 with brand new radials with duals loaded for bear he never shook it got a neighbor to come over with his 4840 with duals and the two of them never shook it . Ended up calling a friend that had DOZERS and the first one that i brought down was a JD 550 with a winch , Now i have used that same dozer to pull Frac teams in and out od drilling locations many time with no problems . BUT i could not shake the 706 with it and after breaking the winch line twice i gave up on it and hauled it back and brought the 750 Deer down and i figure that if a 60000 lb. winch with 1 1/8 cable it would either come out in one big chunk or in several pieces. That job took three days to get here out between all the running around and a lot of broken chains and winch line.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Traction - by Chris Pratt. Our first bout with traction problems came when cultivatin with our Massey-Harris Pony. Up till then, this tractor had been running a corn grinder and pulling a trailer. It had new unfilled rear tires and no wheel weights. The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
