Pretty much every tractor that ever saw field duty in ND where I grew up had/has duals. Never heard of a broken axle in my life. I suppose if you were adding weights to the duals, along with severly uneven ground where the entire weight of the tractor was on the dual alone it's a possibility.

In the manual for our JD 4450 it clearly states not to have a maximum pull under 4 (or 4.5) mph or damage will result.
